Mine was Stream of Consciousness. The main riff, the incredible solos and the instrumentation are incredible!

Pull Me Under, in the spring of 1993.  I bought the CD the same day I first heard the song, and I bought the VHS of Live in Tokyo only a few months later.

The Count of Tuscany... the funny thing is, before listening to it I had seen almost all of the SFNY DVD but I couldn't bring myself to like them (I was young and naive back then).

I then went on to discover A Change of Seasons, I&W (starting out with Pull Me Under, Another Day and Metropolis Part 1).

Lastly, I went back to SFAM/SFNY and I nearly exploded from the amount of awesomeness... and shame at not acknowledging it earlier.

My first album was WDADU in 1989... For a few months I did not like it, then it became impossible not to listen to it everyday!
My favorite at the time was Ytse Jam.

Dance of Eternity.  A friend showed me the concert DVD and I was blown away by there skill.  I bought the album and always got excited when DoE came on.  I loved the whole album.

New member, by the way.

The Dream Theater hipsters may not be pleased, but the first song I fell in love with would have to be "Pull Me Under."

In retrospect, it drags on way too long, but the vocal hooks and melody more than make up for that.

Nothing wrong with liking Pull Me Under, I think many of us were partly exposed to DT from this song alone. ;)

The first for me was Surrounded. Beautiful melody, great lyrics. It was the first song that I actually felt a high listening to. That sort of giddy "Hell's yeah!" sorta feeling.

I had previously heard PMU on the radio and liked it, but what really got me hooked was seeing the Lie music video on The Box (public TV alternative for people whose parents were too poor/didn't care for cable).  The next time it came on, I busted out my music video VHS and recorded it.

The Box got me into a lot of music.  Marilyn Manson, Primus, nine inch nails, etc.

Back when I was taking guitar lessons (somewhere between 2005-2007), my teacher, which was a fan of prog band like DT and Tool, taught me Peruvian Skies and the easier parts of Pull me Under. At the time I thought they were cool songs. but nothing more (I was into pop punk at the timeback then)

Then fast forward to 2009, the music I'm listening to doesn't satisfy me anymore. So while I was looking through my old guitar lessons, I found the Pull Me Under and Peruvian Skies tabs my teacher had given to me. I played them on my guitar and thought it sounded cool. I then bought the greatest hits since it has both songs. Between Pull Me Under, Peruvian Skies, Home, The Root of All Evil, Sacrificed Sons and Lifting Shadows I found a band that was pretty much what I was looking for musically.

However, a few weeks later, Black Clouds & Silver Linings was released and this

Pull Me Under in 92 was awesome but it was Lie in 94 that blew me away. Then when A Change of Seasons came out the following year I knew they'd be my favorite band the rest of my life.

1996.  I was in a CD store (they had those back in the day) and stumbled across a used version of A Change of Seasons.  Now, I already owned Images and Words and liked it but not enough that I had strong feelings about DTheater.  And frankly, the cover versions on the album most interested me. 

But I vividly recall the first time I played the 25-minute ACoS...it was clear I was going to like this song!  I played the hell out of that song for the next 6 months or so.  I also revisited I&W and realized I hadn't given that disc the appreciation it deserved.  Soon I bought Awake and also Falling Into Infinit....and pretty much everything since. 

But ACoS was definitely the song that turned me on DT and to this day it is still my favorite piece by the band.

I first fell in love with Pull Me Under when I heard it on the radio back in 1992. I specifically remember thinking it sounded familiar, but I didn't know why. I still don't know why, but I still love that song.

Anyway, I bought Images and Words as soon as I was able at a local music store. I love every song on that album. I didn't care for Take the Time at first, but that song eventually grew on me. I've spun that cd so many times over the years, and I'll hear it many more times before I die.

Went to see Qryche in Balto in 2003.  Arrived during their set, not knowing that DT was the headliner that night.

Bought Six Degrees the next day.

So, I get to cheat.  Loved 'Misunderstood' but hated the final 90 seconds.

So, I guess I get to say that 'Six Degrees' was the first song I fell in love with....especially 'Overture/About To Crash' and from 'Goodnight Kiss' onward.

Who in the hell made music that good back then?  Or now?

Guess that's why I love 'Octavarium' and most of ADToEvents.

A muso mate of mine lent me I&W in late '94 or early '95, and I enjoyed it, but it was 'Surrounded' that really dragged me in. Once Awake was released and I heard that opening of 6:00, I was hooked..

A Nightmare To Remember and Misunderstood were the first DT songs I discovered and loved, I think at the end of 2009. I remember I started listening to BC&SL after reading an interview with the Avenged Sevenfold singer who said that BC&SL was his favourite album of the year, and then I discovered the rest of the discography over the years really slowly. Only one year ago I fully appreciated Six Degrees, I listened for years only to Misunderstood ;D

The first Dream Theater song I ever listened to was Octavarium. Now, that was waaay too deep for my mind to grasp at the time (both musically and lyrically) so I really didn’t understand it. A few months later I found another song by them and instantly fell in love with it – that would be Metropolis Pt. 1. So that was the first one I really could grasp, but now I love all of their songs!  :metal

In The Name of God
I had listened to a bunch of their songs by that time but this one stood out. It's lenght is exactly the time I need to walk from home to school and damn did this song make the walk better. Also I discovered them only last year (am 19 now) but I quickly got into them and I am a fan now.

Hope for a concert in BG this tour
