Voted, and then realised this thread is almost a year old, but whatever. Dream Theater all the way.

This was very hard to choose between, but I had to go with my first metal band, Dream Theater. Since they were both progish in a way, the only seperating factor was that without DT, for me, there would be no Opeth, or metal for that instance.

I went with DT, although I love Opeth, too.
This doesn't really have anything to do with my favorite style of metal, as such. I just think that DT are more important and have had a bigger impact in prog metal than Opeth has. Also, had there been no DT, there would be no Opeth - �kerfeldt himself has stated that it is because of DT that Opeth sound the way they do. I love both bands and both bands have made songs that rock my world and songs that don't do anything for me. I just like DT a tad more overall. Edited by Time Signature - 15 May 2010 at 6:52am |

If I ignore their first couple of albums which are fairly average IMO then I'll go for Opeth.

Definitely Opeth for me; I have tons of respect for Dream Theater for their abilities, although I find their songwriting much less enjoyable.
Favourite style of metal right now would be avant metal with growls, but I have to thank Opeth for making me enjoy growls.

Opeth don't do anything to me.
Dream Theater popularized the prog-metal genre and released the essential 'images and words'.

I love Dream Theater and I like Opeth, but it's a huge difference. DT for sure.

Dream Theater is actually interesting most of the time.
Which is why I voted for them.

DT here. Love both bands though, but DT has a special place in my heart, since they are the reason why I turned back to listen progressive rock, progressive metal and eventually extreme metal.
Hail the kings.

Dream theater for me. I grew up with their music.. Nothing against Opeth. DT is just 0.00000000000001% better for me.

Though I used to be a huge Dream Theater fan a few years back, I can't really enjoy their music as much I used to. Ever since they released Octavarium, I just basically... stopped.
Now, Opeth is still one of my favorite bands of all time and I can always go back to them despite how many times I've listened to them. Though Akerfeldt is basically beginning to take control of the whole band (especially with the departures of Lopez and Lindgren), Opeth still continues to make great music imo and they have a special place in my heart  . |
