Nope.  My top album spot is an eternal duel between Moving Pictures, Lightbulb Sun, and Wish You Were Here.

My top 5 are all Rush records, but DT has a couple places between 6 and 10.
Hope is what remains to be seen. Now we must tend our garden.

My musical tastes are too diverse to have one favorite album, so no.

If I had to conger up a top 10, Scenes might be in there, I'm not sure.  Some that would make the cut:

Sad Wings of Destiny
Hemispheres
Fragile, TYA, or CttE--my favorite among them changes twice daily
Rage for Order

I don't have a favourite album, although my two default choices (i.e. someone asks me this question and I'm too lazy to list 15 albums but don't want to give them no answer) are Lateralus and Keith Jarrett's Cologne Concert.

Yes.  Scenes From A Memory is still my favorite album of all time.  Transatlantic has crept pretty close to it though.

After 25 years, Marillion's Misplaced Childhood still rules an entire world of awesome albums.

There are bands that I love more, but this album just seems to put it all together for me.

Pain of Salvation - "BE" is my favourite. It is progressive as all hell without being silly about it. It also probably has the best "Full Circle" implementation ever.

It switches between Images And Words, and other non-DT albums.

My Top 5 usually looks something like this (in no particular order):

1. Dream Theater - Images And Words
2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
3. The Beatles - Abbey Road
4. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
5. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

Nope. My favorite album is between Pain of Salvation's The Perfect Element, 65daysofstatic's The Fall of Math, or Jeff Buckley's Grace... I can't choose which, but no matter the choice it's not a Dream Theater album. Images & Words could very well make my top 10, however, were I to make a list.

Yes, My favorite album of all time is Dream Theater's Images & Words.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I have no idea what my favorite album is, but I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it's not a Dream Theater album.

Although a large chunk of my top ten favorite albums are DT, my favorite is Beyond Daylight by Vanden Plas. Suuuuuch a good album.

A DT album is almost my fav all-time album.  It's #2.  But DT members are in my other top 5 albums.

1) Queensr˙che - Promised Land
2) Dream Theater -Awake
3) Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray
4) OSI - Office of Strategic Influence
5) Chroma Key - Dead Air for Radios

My top 5 albums:
1. Rush - Permanent Waves
2. Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory
3. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
4. Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
5. Rush - Hemispheres

And 6 was Images and Words.... this is from a list I did a little over a year ago. It might be a little different now that I've heard Deadwing. :p

My top 5:
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (this probably won't change for a long time)
Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory
Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Tool - Lateralus
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun

In Absentia is miles above all others. I seriously listen to more than one song from that album every day.

I have a lot of varying music tastes. Dream theater is my favorite band however, they did not make my favorite album.

1. Power Windows - Rush
2. My Spanish Heart (Jazz) - Chick Corea
3. Scenes From A Memory - Dream Theater
4. Iowa - Slipknot (Yes, but when this album came out it was amazing.)
5. Wintersun - Wintersun (Its considered Melodic Death metal but once you listen to it you will be amazed. Yes there is screaming.)
6. American Beauty - The Grateful Dead

I put switches, as I don't really have a unique favourite.  At any given moment I would list some Dream Theater album as one of my favourites, though.

I would almost always at least list:

Journey - Journey
Solas - The Edge of Silence
...and some Dream Theater album out of Awake, Scenes From a Memory, or Train of Thought
