Not really - I love JR's work with LTE, I love the Evening With... Album, I love Feeding the Wheel and Listen, I'm looking forward to Rhythm of Time with great anticipation and expectation, and doubt I'll be disappointed with it. I further consider Jordan to be contributing the best musical ideas to Dream Theater right now, of any of their members. But I think that for whatever reason, the three albums they have made since 1999 - JR or no JR - simply aren't up to the quality of their previous work. There's no point in hijacking this thread - my thoughts are well documented - at great length - in another thread:
http://jordanrudess.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1965&sid=7260f735f7622b92633f4f47c 6cc9991%22

So no - there's no anti-Jordan bias in my post; if anything, he's the principal reason why DT are still at ALL interesting to me right now.

2. Queen
3. GNR
4. Floyd
5. Meat Loaf
6. Dream Theater
7. Queensryche
8. Kansas
9. Aerosmith
10. Transatlantic

IN order. There must be a distinction between the BEST bands that ever lived (Queen and DT), and one's personal favorites. It should really be 2 distinct threads. For now, those are my personal babies. I could go nuts listing more prog bands I love, but emotional aesthetics must carry a proper amount of weight.
