What Is The Best Song By Dream Theater

From the ashes of the weekly song poll rises “What Is The Best Song By”. A very similar segment where I want to know what your favourite song(s) by the selected artist is! You can let us know in the comments!

The best thing is that if you don’t know the artist then you can see both our recommendations as well as those by other people.

Fox’s Recommendations

Arguably their only true mainstream song, it balances riffs with melody despite the prog rock underbelly. It probably has been the introduction to prog for many people and in this case I approve, despite not being big into prog myself. The vocals are excellent, both in sound and their place in the mix.

Dream Theater – Pull Me Under (All Rights Are Retained By Dream Theater)

If you like your constantly evolving rock then this is for you! It generates that distinct prog metal atmosphere and to be honest, this is one of the best drumming performances ever. Bravo Mr Portnoy.

Dream Theater – Metropolis – Part I: The Miracle And The Sleeper (All Rights Are Retained By Dream Theater)

Fox’s Wildcard

I bet you didn’t think I’d be including a ballad on this list! It includes elements that break past their usual formula to say the least. With the gospel inspired chorus being a particular high point.

    I really love “Pull Me Under”. I think it’s simply the great musicianship, the particular time changes, and the lyrics. A fantastic combination.

      What gets me with this band is the AMAZING drumming. I think the best drummer of all time personally.

        Definitely an amazing drummer. But as for best of all time? I’m still going with Neil Peart. 🥁

    I like the chunkier ones like “Test That Stumped Them All,” “As I Am,” “Panic Attack,” etc, but conversely the shimmer and poppy “Status Seeker,” might be my top pick.
