Discography: Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band widely recognized for its extraordinary technical skill, complex compositions, and epic live performances. The band was founded in 1985 by three students from Berklee College of Music: John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), and Mike Portnoy (drums). They originally formed under the name Majesty, but later changed it to Dream Theater after discovering the name was already in use.

Dream Theater blends elements of progressive rock, heavy metal, and even classical music. Their songs are often characterized by extended structures, shifting tempos, complex time signatures, and virtuosic instrumentation. They are frequently regarded as pioneers and leading figures of the progressive metal genre alongside bands such as Queensrÿche, Fates Warning, and Symphony X.
