Images and Words has "Pull Me Under" on it, which got quite a bit of radio play and is palatable to most ears that like plain rock without all the mastubatory noodling that we guitar nerds live for. Hollow Years is a good slow song, "As I Am" is a good fast one, "A Change of Seasons" is a good long prog-rock thing. Asking a Dream Theater geek which song is best is fruitless More often, we talk about which keyboardist is best (Rudess), debate whether having no vocalist is better than having James LaBrie (it's not, you just have to get used to him), and make bets as to how many more consecutive "Rock Drummer of the Year" awards Portnoy is going to get (I think he's up to like 9). Oh yeah, and wondering why Petrucci has decided to start playing nothing but speedy chromatic runs (hard to play but musically uninteresting). Yah, so. anyway.

sorry, i found dream theatre to be completely uninteresting in the mid-90's when a friend of mine thought they were the greatest thing to come along since sliced bread.

Experience Music Project
Arriceibo Pipeline Bay of Fundy Mammoth Caves Bonneville Salt Flats UT: The Mississippi?! Which mile? Uh, the part that's a MILE WIDE. Which part of the Amazon is the landmark or the Grand Canyon for that matter? Or the Great Wall of China? I think that you can see it from space qualifies it as a mark on the land. [/soapbox]

What would be neat, but obviously a burden for UT, would be a picture of each landmark as they go head to head during the games. Sure, Mt. Everest is the highest and most famous mountain, but most people couldn't pick it out of a lineup of mountains. It's not much of a landmark. Mount Fuji is much more recognizable, I think.
Mount Fuji would probably win in a photo contest, but Mt. Everest would probably win in a text contest. Last edited by glatt; 03-15-2005 at 01:17 PM. |

That's just a bunch of tree hugger claptrap...there is absolutely no scientific proof that global warming is occurring. At least, that's the Conservative Party line...
Does anyone find it odd that the same people who say that Global Warming is crap firmly believe that the version of Creation as detailed in the Book of Genesis is 100% accurate and proveable?

My brother-in-law is an internationally recognized ecologist who has participated in a number of studies on global warming, atmospheric CO2 levels and how they affect soil nitrogen, etc. etc. Plant scientist stuff. He's also a deacon at his Baptist church. He's tried to explain the global warming thing to me, but i'm too dumb.
