just wondering what people prefer and what there views are

Please don't get involved unless you listen to the above tho thanks

first off we have dream theatre

Now we have petrucci
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t25AOSxZZkI

which do people prefer, i can't deside yet, cause petrucci's solo stuff is purely instrumental which can be very relaxing to listen to but dream theatre is also 1 of my fave bands and pure and simply just rock

the only solo stuff i have is 'An evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess' which is nice and chilled out but not a touch on Dream Theater. Also the solos even for him him are a bit over the top at times.

If i could stomach listening to Dream Theatre's god aweful lyrics for more than a couple of seconds i would probably say Dream Theatre. But there's a lot more freedom in Petrucci's solo output than there is in the confines of Dream Theatre, which i know sounds silly on the surface given that they're a prog-metal band, where he seemed more hemmed in by song structure and "meat and potato's" riffing.

I prefer the dream theater stuff.

A large proportion of what they write is utter bollocks, but still they have made about 3 hours worth of incredible music over their career - so in my opinion they're a great band.

It's like the new Tool Record, there's only 3 and a half great songs on it... but 3 and a half songs for tool is about 30 minutes, which is still worthwhile.

I prefer Liquid Tension Experiment over Petruccis solo stuff and Dreamtheater.
Not that theres anything bad about Dream Theater

i can't believe your actually picking me up on a slight mispelling.
Anyway if folk like petrucci then try listening to his suspended animation album i'm sure most folk already have this one but just incase
