I'm trying to get into them because people seem to worship them, so i though i'd make the effort and ask their self confessed, biggest fanboy. Tubbs, (or anyone), recommend me their 5 best songs, or 10 if you can't narrow it down.

And, you know...have a general DT discussion if you want, it's out of my hands now.

Get these 5 songs:

A Change of Season
Metropolis pt. 1
As I Am
Pull Me Under
Stream of Consciousness
 
Learning to Live
Under Peruvian Skies
Home
Space Dye Vest
Scarred

I think these should give you the best picture. If you don't like these, you won't like the band.
 
Try these 10 songs:

Regression/Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu
In The Name of God
Metropolis Part 1 - The Miracle and the Sleeper
Voices
Learning to Live
Take the Time
The Glass Prison
The Silent Man
Pull Me Under
A Change of Seasons
 
Metropolis Part 1
Home
A Change of Seasons
Dance of Eternity

Well, I just wanted to paint the biggest picture for the dude. Those aren't necessarily my favorite - just the most representative. Lie, I think, isn't typical DT - not that it isn't a good song (fucking amazing solo too!).

You don't need to have songs listed, instead get some albums.

I would suggest Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory first, then Awake or Images and Words. All three are fantastic albums, probably said to be Dream Theater's best by most fans.
