This was my vote too. Awake gets fourth place for me. After that, I'd say ADTOE or BC&SL, for some latter-day DT.

I know, it's pretty weird ;)

And also I'll give an honorable mention to the self-titled. It is just a small notch behind those three.

Also, it's kinda cute to abbreviate Awake to AW. Aw.

I'll jump on this bandwagon too. This is not my favorite 3 albums but the "holy trinity" which I understand to be the 3 most significant albums - am I saying this right?

Post by: IdoSC on July 02, 2015, 01:11:36 PM: I really can't choose between them, but I&W, SFAM and DT are my top 3 together. My favorite changes every few months.

I do know my preference of the rest, though:
4. ADTOE
5. Octavarium
6. Awake
7. SDOIT
8. FII Demos (I pretend the real album doesn't exist usually)
9. WDAD(Re)U / When Dream and James Unite-type bootlegs

Or if you prefer - 'A Dramatic Train of Images'.

Nice spread of albums there I think - one from the beginning of their career, one from the middle and a recent one :D

Favorite album, 2nd favorite, and the album with my favorite song. My top 3 for sure.

You asked, although I won't include an EP.

At this very moment:

SDOIT

SFAM

Awake
TOT
ADTOE

FII
BC&SL

DT12 could easily take Awakes spot for me too. But those three are locked in with I&W the leader by a good margin.

Post by: 425 on July 02, 2015, 09:10:09 PM: Images is obvious. I'm a Dream Theater Unitarian in that regard.

ADTOE is almost as easy of a choice for second place.

Third is the hardest to pick. I voted FII because it needs love, but SFAM could also have been it. DT12 and BCSL also knocking on the door.

When WDADU has more than 0 votes for top 3 DT albums, I think it just goes to show that either the poll is broken, or people's opinions are broken. :neverusethis:
