Dream Theatre one of the most celebrated progressive rock bands with ultra-melodic keyboard ad-libs (Rudess), enormous guitar riff progressions (Petrucci), flabby out-of-this-world 6-string bass representation (Myung), synco-pated over-32-beat drum rolls (Portnoy), and variety of high pitched voice (LaBrie) all wrapped in a majestic work of artistry.
