Salve.
My name is Brandon, a 16-year-old computer enthusiast from the U.S. My interests include reading fantasy and sci-fi novels, listening to music (namely progressive metal), C/Asm software development in an x86/64 Linux environment, graphic design (including pixel art), and Olivia Munn.
Dream Theater is a religion to me. I think that sums up everything; no need to dwell on it, since anyone reading right now should know why. I've actually not been to any concerts, but going on a tour-stalking roadtrip is on my Life To-do List. I appreciate DT's musicianship, not just the music itself; the way they write and record music...it's intoxicating, to say the least.
I do, however, own the entire discography. It's absolutely amazing. The only songs I've yet to listen to are the covers from ACoS and one or two live albums. Anyway, I suppose I can express my musical taste with a quick top-10 list of my favorite DT songs.
- 1. A Change of Seasons
- 2. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
- 3. Learning to Live
- 4. Misunderstood
- 5. Metropolis Pt. I
- 6. In the Name of God
- 7. These Walls
- 8. Octavarium
- 9. In The Presence of Enemies
- 10. Repetence
It's definitely not set in stone. It's pretty situational, as well. I might be missing one, and I'm not so sure about the ranking either. There's only one thing that's certain and without a doubt: A Change of Seasons. It's the first DT song I ever heard. It's the one that I fell in love with, and to this day, it remains as my favorite song in existence. Period.
Thanks for having me!
