Music ..
Someone made this interesting analogy about complicated music that’s difficult to listen to versus easy-listening pop music. Dream Theater is one of the bands Golfer listens to ..
Re: When do you think Dream Theater will have their major breakthrough with mainstream media?
Pop music hasn’t changed.
It’s gotten worse.
It’s musical Mcdonalds.
Dream Theater is musical broccoli. People don’t like broccoli, it’s hard to chew, hard to digest even though it’s very VERY good for you. The analogy is sound. Dream Theater’s music is good for the mind, it makes you think – what am I hearing here?…..How did they do that?….
Current pop music is bad for the mind. It gives the masses what they want….society, more than ever, is a -right now- cluster of stupids. Give me my three chord Nickelback song, with samey sounds, and samey lyrics that require no thought on my part.
Pop music is simply a sound-soothing pacifier stuck in the mouths of the masses.
SOOOOOOO … Dream Theater will never have a major breakthrough with the media.
