- D - Dream Theater

Prolific is probably the best description for Dream Theater whose debut When Dream and Day Unite was released in 1989. A total of twelve studio albums in some twenty years is probably not that impressive although none are weak and some positively epic including the latest A Dramatic Turn Of Events .

Supporting the studio albums are the live albums, studio demos and my own favourites the Bootleg Series covering full classic albums. MASTER OF PUPPETS covers the mighty Metallica, Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast:... followed. If Deep Purple are your band then pick up the Dream Theater version of Made in Japan. Pink Floyd's classic Dark side of the Moon : Official Bootleg coninued the series of classic covers.

If that wasn't enough there are the side projects by Mike Portnoy Amazing Journey covering the Who's Tommy, Hammer of the Gods tribute to Led Zeppelin and Yellow Matter Custard - the Beatles tribute.

Dream Theater tend to be classified as Prog Rockers - I would label them traditional Rockers.
