Symphony X

SyX might be dragging Dream Theater along if SyX wrote radio friendly singles too.

But at least this logic continues to support the argument that American Idol has put out some of the best musicians in the last 5 years. And that the Grammy's truly reward talented bands.

That logic doesn't even exist in the debate...neither band writes radio friendly music. Last time l checked prog metal gets no love in mass media.
 
Admittedly, Pull Me Under wasn't radio friendly but got on the radio anyhow. And that led to a degree of popularity that led to most of the above 100k US sale numbers for their albums. Portnoy says it was a fluke. Symphony X just needs a fluke too.
