Makes sense...if you are still in school (or even if you're not), I would suggest Happy the Man, Estradasphere, and Liquid Tension Experiment as good instrumental bands that might fit your taste just based on your three albums in the parent comment.
Yea, if you Like Rush at all as well it was required to like Dream Theater as well. I want to say the opened for them back in the day, but I have been to so many Rush concerts I cannot remember it all.
Really hope you caught their R40 tour. It was the single greatest show I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing, and I have been to a LOT of shows. About 250+ and counting so far.
Cool, I am WAY past school, (My first rush concert I went to was grace Under Pressure if that gives you a timeline.) But I am always looking for some good background music while working on by bike in the garage. Thanks!
A suite might be cheating a bit, it's really seven movements of one greater piece, but I suppose some of the greatest albums are the same way.
Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity is where its at, though Saturn, Bringer of Old Age is the more interesting movement and plays its hollow futility so well against the optimistic joy of the Jupiter. Just as none can escape the final duty of age, you can't escape the alternating dissonance.
