Well, that's rather interesting, I don't hear it on the radio much, nor do I think it's
a BAD song. Now if you wanted to pose the same bantering about 'Anna Lee' or 'Silent
Man', I would THINK about it, but it's just too much trouble to go protesting songs by
a great band. Perhaps we need to take this 'veritable musicial cyberspace sit-in' to
the Nirvana or O-Town board! lol...

Didn't DT almost break up in events that followed the explosion
of PMU as a pseudo-hit? It definitely grabbed more attention
than any other DT song, for sure. I don't dislike it, it was
actually the song that made me want to give DT a shot, way back
when. I think the key to being able to listen to the song a
bunch of times and not getting tired of it is not listening to
it many times in a row. And if you're in the band, you can get
tired of any song, since you have to learn it and practice it
numerous times.
What is it that people don't like about it, anyway? Does it
just sound like something that, were it not hypothetical, could
potentially suck? Is that even a viable reason?
OK, I've now exhausted my need to comment on this whole PMU
mess. Thanks for reading.
Ilia

I sent this to post last week & I don't think it went through. If it did,
sorry for the duplicate post.
I just put together a CD for one of my friends. I took most of my favorites
but I focused on all the heavy tracks. The ones I picked were:
1. The Glass Prison
2. Strange Deja Vu
3. Pull Me Under
4. Burning My Soul
5. Mirror
6. Home
7. The Test That Stumped Them All
8. Lie
9. Beyond This Life
10. War Inside My Head
I think it would be hard to come up with a true best of CD. Would you make
it hard or soft? There is only on clear cut DT hit and that is PMU. The
rest of the world could give two shits about anything this band puts out. On
the other hand, DT's fans will buy anything they put out. I would love to
see it come out, but I think this fan base is so diverse with their favorite
songs that one cd would not be enough or would not cover the entire spectrum.
I have recently gone through all the albums w/ James on vocals from front to
back & put them in order from favorite to least favorite. I'll post it when
I have the time. I think it would be interesting to Poll this. Someone with
a ton of spare time on their hands could then put together, then, we could
have a true list of the best of DT.
See ya,
Todd
P.S. Could some on put the word "ytsejam" on the list & sound it out
phonically? I am still puzzled on how to pronounce it to friends & family.

Message-ID: <F7g8eBpx7OfKSSc8m8M00007ddd@hotmail.com>
A little history...Kevin did 2 demos way back when. "Space Dye Vest" and
"Blanket" were recorded at the same time along with a version of the Tori
Amos song "Song For Eric". Kevin took Tori's version which is acapella
(sp?) and added his own music. At that point, Kev was rather obsessed with
Tori. Former jammer Jen Albert gave me a tape of all 3 songs that she got
right from Kev back in late 1993. At the time I didn't think for a second
that DT would do SDV. I don't think that was Kev's plan either!

I brought up the idea of DT and Rush touring together a few weeks ago
and now I found this message from Mike P. from the DT UACM Newsletter.
Looks like they were hoping for this tour too!!!!!

Mike Portnoy writes liner notes of Japanese version of new Rush CD
(News : Mike Portnoy)
Here is a message from Mike Portnoy:
"RUSH
I am honored to have been asked to write the liner notes
for the Japanese version of their long-awaited, upcoming
CD "Vapor Trails", so I have been listening to this since
early last week....
The new CD is excellent and it's great to have them back!
If only they would take out an opener (cough*US*cough)
on this tour.....

I'll run a poll, if anyone's interested. I set up an e-mail

looking for:
Part I: favorites.
1. Favorite Dream Theater studio album?
2. Favorite DT live album?
3. Top 3 songs from WD&DU?
4. Top 3 songs from I&W?
5. Top 3 songs from Awake?
6. Top 3 songs from FII?
7. Top 3 tracks from SfaM?
8. Top 3 tracks from 6DoiT?
9. Top 3 live renditions?
10. Favorite cover by DT?
11. Least favorite studio album?
12. Was ACoS a weak or a strong release for DT (extended
commentary welcome)?
13. Least favorite song from WD&DU?
14. Least favorite song from I&W?
15. Least favorite song from Awake?
16. Least favorite song from FII?
17. Least favorite song from SfaM?
18. Least favorite song from 6DoiT?
19. Least favorite live rendition?
Part II: True/False
1. DT should release a best-of compilation.
2. DT will release a best-of compilation.
3. PMU should be included on any best-of DT.
4. PMU will be included if a best-of DT is ever released.
5. SDV should be included on any best-of DT.
6. SDV will be included if a best-of DT is ever released.
7. WD&TU was superior to WD&DU.
8. Any best-of DT compilation should only contain tracks with
LaBrie on lead vocals.
9. Any best-of DT compilation should only contain original DT
material.
On a scale from 1 to 5, rate how much you like PMU and SDV.
1=hate it, 5=love it.
Feel free to write in any comments regarding any of the
question, if the response may be ambiguous. Again, the address
is bestofdtpoll@dreamtheater.zzn.com.

OK, and I recorded myself saying the word "majesty" and played
it backwards. It sounds like "YIT-SE-JAM." I don't know if the
original idea was the spelling or the pronounciation as well,
but I was just curious.
