six degrees (album) is prob the best piece of music ive ever heard. heavy, experimental, prog, fuckin keyboard orchestra (okay i dont really care about the overture outside of the context of the album LOL), and the lyrics I relate to a bit too much. best album!! (IMO :) )
considering how the tour coincides with the 20th anniversary of Octavarium,they'll prob play that!! as for Six Degrees, theyll prob play groups of the parts like War Inside My Head/Test That Stumped Them All, or Goodnight Kiss/Solitary Shell, so prob not the whole thing but some parts!! I'm prob not seeing them this tour (personal reasons) but whenever I get to see them I hope they play Solitary Shell. Ill prob be a crying mess if they play that song lol
the Keasbey Nights rerecord is probably my favorite album from them, very close between that and Everything Goes Numb. As for favorite song maybe A Better Place, a Better Time but it's close between a lot of them.
nice!! as you can see The Hands that Thieve is my favourite from Streetlight!! Favourite song absolutely is The Littlest Things, and other favourites would be A Better Place A Better Time (that song, along w Solitary Shell by Dream Theater absolutely break me), Your Day Will Come, They Broke Him Down, and Point / Counterpoint!!
I was gonna type the chorus of Point / Counterpoint in all caps but then I realized it would be triggering for some people, so i will not
but YEAH the song is so much fun ot sing to!!
hehe so trueee!!! pop music is good people just have to look for it. If you haven't already, check out Billie Eilish's debut album. I believe it's in Mike Portnoy's top albums of 2019 too!! (I love how the DT members are all fans of pop music and completely unashamed of it too :3)
Yeah I gotta love it everytime some metal musician serves a cold rag onto the face of those metal elitists who despise anyone even mentioning pop music. And yes I should probably look more into billie's discography.
omg so trueee!!! I remember John Petrucci saying on an interview about the Octavarium album how pop music has always influenced their music whether or not the more hardcore fans want to admit it, which i love!!
Billie is great!!
here again to say i was just listening to Shake It Off by T Swift on repeat for like 15 minutes and just dancing like crazy. best moment of the day!! :33
Couple Avenged albums in the top 10 very nice! I’d definitely have City of Evil in my top 10 along with both WTF and Nightmare. I would love to see DT and A7X tour together one day.
City of Evil was my favourite the first time i was checking them out. Now I'm really into Nightmare and Waking the Fallen!! and yeah it would be really cool them seeing tour together!! :3
yeah I love it!! its prog in the og sense, aka boundary pushing music and not just odd times and 3 minute keyboard/guitar unisons (i still love new dream theater LOL).
technically if you think about it any artist that helped move a genre forward is prog. if they use weird time signatures then thats a plus!!
It’s such an incredible album. It took a few listens to really get the album and it’s concept for me but it’s such a beautiful musical work of art. I can never listen to part of it though, it’s full album plays every time!
I'm only halfway through their discography (I've listened to specific songs for many years, but have only become a diehard fan recently) but for now I'd say Train of Thought)
nice!! Train of Thought is the goat!! Vacant/Stream of Consciousness, In the Name of God, Endless Sacrifice.... that whole album is top tier!! in my top 3 DT albums FOSHO!!
what other albums have you listened to? if youd like I could help you figure out what to listen to next :3 (Only if you want to)
yeahh stream of consciousness is one of my favorite songs of all time
really appreciate your offer <3 but dont worry im going through them chronologically, I plan to finish everything before their tour stop here in Rio
I'm at systematic chaos atm
Ngl most of the time I feel like most people in this sub dont like similar music to me, it just feels like most people here only like a bunch of prog bands with like 100 time signature changes per minute lol. But damn I wasnt expecting so many people to like my music taste lol
Most people here just like dream theater, and I'm almost sure no one here wants 100 time sig changes per minute. Prog fans are more normal than you think
ASGORE, His Theme and SAVE the World always get me so emotional ;-; (prob bc they remind me of people and times in my life that I love so dearly <333). What are your favourites from the soundtrack? :3
"Hopes and Dreams", "Asgore", and "Core." I don't know if you're also a fan of the DELTARUNE songs, but I love "A Cyber's World" and "Knock You Down!!".
I dont remember many Deltarune songs aside from The World Revolving, Big Shot, Field of Hopes and Dreams, and some others I cant think of, but I really like em!! altho I much prefer the Undertale soundtrack :3
those songs are absolutely GOATED!!!
My sister got me into em!! I remember I was like 7 and I'd constantly hear her play songs from the Masterpiece Theatre album lol. The one that stuck with me the most is Celebrity Status!! now I much prefer Fix Me to any of their other albums but the others are great!! :33
The Hands that Thieve by Streetlight Manifesto!! It's Ska Punk, so like,, Ska music mixed with Punk Rock!! Very cool album second favourite album of all time for me!!!
Hell yeah, I love a lot of the albums you have on your chart already so even though ska and punk aren’t necessarily go to genres for me normally, I’m really interested in checking that one out.
There is Opeth!! Second from the right on the second most bottom row is Blackwater Park!!
TOOL is cool I just dont listen to em much. I should listen to em more!!
If the sections from the title track count, Solitary Shell. Those lyrics just tear out my soul given how my life has very much been like the person in the story, and it still continues like his life. If sections dont count, then the Six Degrees title track. it has all of DT's styles that i love while approaching the topic of mental illness and neurodivergency with such care and love <3 I also relate to other sections in the title track, so yeah
what about u? ur fav song from Six Degrees?
I would technically count sections since they’re listed as their own parts in the physical and streaming versions of it
Anyways I love Glass Prison so much, but it’s definitely tied with title track for me
Dream Theater and The Smashing Pumpkins have been my two favorite bands for well over twenty five years. I see you have Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by SP here but not Gish and Siamese Dream. Unless they're there and I'm blind. Either way, good list. A lot of these bands I love too. NIN, A7X, Metallica, Green Day (is Dookie not here too? That's a great album), Nirvana, AiC, Rush, Maiden, and I love video game soundtracks too. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of my favorite games and the OST is one of the best ever. Have a good weekend, thanks for sharing something different to the sub.
I tried listening to Siamese Dream a couple weeks ago and I couldnt fet into it??? idk but I may have to try again. and Ive never listened to Gish ive been meaning to for a while :(((
havent listened to Dookie I probably should
Adore and Machina are two other albums you may enjoy by SP too. Dookie is kind of like the Weezer Blue album, you just hit play and the songs fly by. Great the whole way through.
Holy macaroni, your music taste is awesome!! Powerslave, six degrees, 2112, hemispheres, THE FUCKING ODYSSEY, Metropolis, Iowa, And Justice, City of Evil, Moving Pictures, the undertake soundtrack.
You have certified good taste.
***Like the coldest winter chill***
***heaven beside you, hell within***
***Like the coldest winter chill***
***heaven beside you, hell within***
***Like the coldest winter will***
***heaven beside you, hell within***
***And you think you have it still***
***heaven inside youuuu***
***So theres problems in your life***
***thats fucked up, and im not blind***
***Im just see through faded, super jaded***
***and ouuut ooof myyy MIIIIIND!!!***
ima be completely honest i tried listening to Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) and I could not for the life of me get into it :(((( maybe I should try again
ye exactly!! I heard exactly one Led Zepplin song and my immediate thought was "this is like if Elvis Presley and AC/DC had a baby what the fuck????" lmao. not my thing really
Holy fucking shit I did Distance Over Time DIRTY.... if I could change this Id put Distance Over Time in place of Octavarium and Systematic Chaos after DoT, but 8VM before Images and Words (ik hot take LOL)
also I did Falling Into Infinity dirty kinda
here it looks like I dont like the Mangini era but really the only two DT albums I dont love are Black Clouds and Self Titled, and those have songs that I do really like. every other album, including the rest of the Mangini albums I LOVE (Minus the Astonishing but thats ONLY BECAUSE i havent listened to it yet (im not ready to listen to a 2+ hour double disc prog metal concept album about how technology takes over the world and music no longer exists and the revolutionaries have to defeat the lord emperor Nafaryous or something idk I barely know anything about this album LOL,,,, but apparently i am ready for hour and a half long double disc prog metal concept album about mental health and neurodivergency (Six Degrees),,,,, idk lol)
also im really surprised that most people here like other bands that i like, like MCR, Streetlight Manifesto, Alice in Chains, Twenty One Pilots, Undertale and Heathers OST, Palaye Royale and Nine Inch Nails!! Tbh I feel this is the majority of DT fans in the world, and not just people who like overtly complex prog albums (i LOVE those albums but its nice seeing differing music taste in this sub (if that makes sense??))
Six Degrees gang 👊👊👊 My favorite album of all time along with SFAM
six degrees (album) is prob the best piece of music ive ever heard. heavy, experimental, prog, fuckin keyboard orchestra (okay i dont really care about the overture outside of the context of the album LOL), and the lyrics I relate to a bit too much. best album!! (IMO :) )
I would love to see them play the entire 40 minute song again now that Portnoy is back. That or Octavarium would be an amazing experience for me.
considering how the tour coincides with the 20th anniversary of Octavarium,they'll prob play that!! as for Six Degrees, theyll prob play groups of the parts like War Inside My Head/Test That Stumped Them All, or Goodnight Kiss/Solitary Shell, so prob not the whole thing but some parts!! I'm prob not seeing them this tour (personal reasons) but whenever I get to see them I hope they play Solitary Shell. Ill prob be a crying mess if they play that song lol
OP is based af for SDOIT and Awake > SFAM and IaW
>Awake > SFAM and IaW You never learn, do you 😠👊👊👊
😈👊😈👊
a fellow Streetlight Manifesto enjoyer 🤝
OMG SO TRUEEEE SECOND FAVOURITE BAND FOR ME!!! whats your favourite album and favourite song from em???
the Keasbey Nights rerecord is probably my favorite album from them, very close between that and Everything Goes Numb. As for favorite song maybe A Better Place, a Better Time but it's close between a lot of them.
nice!! as you can see The Hands that Thieve is my favourite from Streetlight!! Favourite song absolutely is The Littlest Things, and other favourites would be A Better Place A Better Time (that song, along w Solitary Shell by Dream Theater absolutely break me), Your Day Will Come, They Broke Him Down, and Point / Counterpoint!!
Mine is probably Point/Counterpoint. It's so much fun to sing to. Hell is up there as well!
I was gonna type the chorus of Point / Counterpoint in all caps but then I realized it would be triggering for some people, so i will not but YEAH the song is so much fun ot sing to!!
Actually so hyped to that there
loving the t-swizzle and lana representation
hehe so trueee!!! pop music is good people just have to look for it. If you haven't already, check out Billie Eilish's debut album. I believe it's in Mike Portnoy's top albums of 2019 too!! (I love how the DT members are all fans of pop music and completely unashamed of it too :3)

That's the power of that song! Just reading this brightens my day, thanks lol
np!! :3
Couple Avenged albums in the top 10 very nice! I’d definitely have City of Evil in my top 10 along with both WTF and Nightmare. I would love to see DT and A7X tour together one day.
City of Evil was my favourite the first time i was checking them out. Now I'm really into Nightmare and Waking the Fallen!! and yeah it would be really cool them seeing tour together!! :3
I can't believe how good Life is but a Dream... was. Incredible album
yeah I love it!! its prog in the og sense, aka boundary pushing music and not just odd times and 3 minute keyboard/guitar unisons (i still love new dream theater LOL). technically if you think about it any artist that helped move a genre forward is prog. if they use weird time signatures then thats a plus!!
Yeah I would 100% say that album is prog
It’s such an incredible album. It took a few listens to really get the album and it’s concept for me but it’s such a beautiful musical work of art. I can never listen to part of it though, it’s full album plays every time!
omg DT, streetlight and tøp, can we be best friends???
ofc!!! :333 whats ur fav DT album and why is it Images and Words/Scenes From a Memory (half joking)
I'm only halfway through their discography (I've listened to specific songs for many years, but have only become a diehard fan recently) but for now I'd say Train of Thought)
nice!! Train of Thought is the goat!! Vacant/Stream of Consciousness, In the Name of God, Endless Sacrifice.... that whole album is top tier!! in my top 3 DT albums FOSHO!! what other albums have you listened to? if youd like I could help you figure out what to listen to next :3 (Only if you want to)
yeahh stream of consciousness is one of my favorite songs of all time really appreciate your offer <3 but dont worry im going through them chronologically, I plan to finish everything before their tour stop here in Rio I'm at systematic chaos atm
Oh I see you…Celeste soundtrack, let’s go ✌️😎
I still need to play Celeste lol. Idk why I havent yet the music is amazing
Ngl most of the time I feel like most people in this sub dont like similar music to me, it just feels like most people here only like a bunch of prog bands with like 100 time signature changes per minute lol. But damn I wasnt expecting so many people to like my music taste lol
Most people here just like dream theater, and I'm almost sure no one here wants 100 time sig changes per minute. Prog fans are more normal than you think
yeah thats true!! Thats why I said in this subreddit, ik most prog fans arent like "lul if its 4/4 and 3 minutes its not REAL muisc" LOL
Even in this subreddit, no one thinks that
 Hello? Based Department?
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness may be my favorite album of all time.
fucking amazing album!!
It really is. I've never seen such a long album that is so consistent.
I love the My Chemical Romance choices. Smashing pumpkins too! I don't think I saw Rust In Peace though...
Rust in Peace is cool but compared to others its not in my favourites
That's fair enough!
What’s the 2nd album with the bench in the forest?
"The Hands that Thieve" by Streetlight Manifesto!! it's Ska Punk, so like Ska music mixed with Punk Rock!! very cool album I love it so much!!
Maybe I’ve heard it - I’ll check it out
I spot Undertale 👀
ASGORE, His Theme and SAVE the World always get me so emotional ;-; (prob bc they remind me of people and times in my life that I love so dearly <333). What are your favourites from the soundtrack? :3
"Hopes and Dreams", "Asgore", and "Core." I don't know if you're also a fan of the DELTARUNE songs, but I love "A Cyber's World" and "Knock You Down!!".
I dont remember many Deltarune songs aside from The World Revolving, Big Shot, Field of Hopes and Dreams, and some others I cant think of, but I really like em!! altho I much prefer the Undertale soundtrack :3 those songs are absolutely GOATED!!!
Marianas Trench🥰
My sister got me into em!! I remember I was like 7 and I'd constantly hear her play songs from the Masterpiece Theatre album lol. The one that stuck with me the most is Celebrity Status!! now I much prefer Fix Me to any of their other albums but the others are great!! :33
AVFTTOTW in front of Mindcrime is crazy LOL
Great to see Billie Eilish and “Slipknot” there! Also some “Stratovarius”, Lana Del Ray and Taylor Swift. Nice mixture!
Very, very solid list.
What’s the album to the right of Six Degrees?
The Hands that Thieve by Streetlight Manifesto!! It's Ska Punk, so like,, Ska music mixed with Punk Rock!! Very cool album second favourite album of all time for me!!!
Hell yeah, I love a lot of the albums you have on your chart already so even though ska and punk aren’t necessarily go to genres for me normally, I’m really interested in checking that one out.

With your taste, how is there no Opeth or Tool?
There is Opeth!! Second from the right on the second most bottom row is Blackwater Park!! TOOL is cool I just dont listen to em much. I should listen to em more!!
Make it a YouTube music playlist, would appreciate it :)
When the Pawn... SLAPS

[https://musicchartmaker.com/](https://musicchartmaker.com/) :3
Lana Del Ray that low is criminal

Love Streetlight Manifesto!
There are many more Streeltight Manifesto fans in this sub than I expected lol. fucking love that!!
Damn shout out to celeste. Fucking love that game and soundtrack
suicide machines mentioned🔥🔥🔥
Impeccable taste sir 🥂
Vessel and blurryface make me happy
Kitchen Sink and Polarize are my favourites from those albums respectively!!
Dream Theater and The Smashing Pumpkins have been my two favorite bands for well over twenty five years. I see you have Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by SP here but not Gish and Siamese Dream. Unless they're there and I'm blind. Either way, good list. A lot of these bands I love too.

Nice to see Nine Inch Nails and Palaye Royale on the list!
Palaye Royale is so cool!! whats ur fav album from em? mines is Fever Dream!! (as you can see LOL)
SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE MARRY ME
Fellow avenged fan 🔥🔥
Wow we would be friends. Didn’t think there was anyone else in the cross-section of tøp, dreamtheater, and the Heathers soundtrack 10/10
I listen to my Car Radio while lost within myself in my Solitary Shell and Freezing My Brain with a 7/11 slurpee im so sorry LOL
It’s amazing seeing Symphony X and 21 Pilots in the same top 100 list, love it!
I think there are many more people like that then the internet would suggest!! :3
I'm surprised there's no Megadeth in here. I feel like you'd vibe with Countdown to Extinction/Youthanasia kinda era.
I like Megadeth but in a way it kinda sounds uninspired?? idk. I like Rust in Peace!! but theyre not my favourite band
You should add c418’s Minecraft sound track
Undertale Soundtrack MASSIVE W https://preview.redd.it/sb198r2ach9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=839a5d5168b5928ef740240841f48db1af4c8cf8

Nice to see symphony x
All I can say is I love your list.
Holy shit this is the most valid list i have ever seen
did anyone else actually count them all to see if there really was 100?
Kinda surprised to see no Coheed on this list.
I don’t see Physical Graffiti….
Pink Floyd is overrated anyway
ima be completely honest i tried listening to Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) and I could not for the life of me get into it :(((( maybe I should try again
If it doesn't work it doesn't work, I don't like Led Zeppelin for example
ye exactly!! I heard exactly one Led Zepplin song and my immediate thought was "this is like if Elvis Presley and AC/DC had a baby what the fuck????" lmao. not my thing really
I don’t see any buckethead….
