Octavarium, by Dream Theater

24 minutes of the greatest band ever giving it their all. (yes, you read that right. its a 24 minute long song)

i want to get Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, but its not on itunes
that would be 42 minutes of the greatest band ever giving it their all.

hey wait a second! i just noticed i have over 100 posts! cool!

I use an ipod shuffle, so it's a mix, but am particularly fond of Dave Matthews Band and Linkin Park

Igor, this topic was already started here but it has been quite a while since the last visit.

For me it is usually something without words. Heavia, Rivertribe, Classical, Contemporary Christian and Brass.. almost any kind of brass. Then I throw in the occasional Rush, Van Halen, Sugarland, Toby Mac, or James Taylor. But my favorite at the moment is Joy Williams... what a voice.

im kind of a prog-meatal sort of guy, but ill throw in some emo and death metal every now and then. oh ya, and classic rock.

hey, boofredlay, if you want something w/o words, check out Stream of Consciousness, by Dream Theater. its a little bit heavier than is sounds like you would like, but its really melodic at the same time. you might like it.

boofredlay

Thanks, I am listening to them now. I like.

igor

well im happy you're stisfyed, boo

Dream Theater is a great band if your a musician and understand complex musical concepts. for example, one of their songs is in 5:8 time. that is sooooooooo insanly hard to play (im a drummer with about 5 years experience). the vocals are sometimes... bleh. but the music is the most amazing stuff you will ever hear. all of the musicians in that band are absolute MASTERS at their instrument of choice.

if you havent already figured this out, im a huge Dream Theater fan.

boofredlay

Well being a trumpet player for most of my life I can agree with you that 5:8 time is a royal pain. My brother plays many instruments as well but his main one is the Viola Da Gamba. He once transposed a string piece for my brass quintet called "Pikforth" (I think). It is for quartet so we left the tuba out. Anyway, each part was written in a different time signature. Talk about difficult to practice. The tuba player did not like directing
We never did perform it.

Thanks again for the suggestions and reviving this topic.

Profits of War, Dream Theater

great song, favorite lines (and the chorus):

is it time to make the change?
are we closer than before?
can we help them break away?
are we profiting from war?
its time to make the change.

as you can see, its very politicly pointed, probably the most pointed of any some Dtream Theater has ever made.
