'''Dream Theater''' is an influential [[progressive metal]] band based in [[New York City]]. The band formed in 1985 and started out with the name Majesty, but later changed their name to Dream Theater for legal reasons. The band's songs are generally long and technically proficient, which has led to the band being characterized as one that "people either love or hate". Although Dream Theater songs generally do not receive much airplay, the [[Hamlet]]-inspired single ''Pull Me Under'' from the album ''Images and Words'' became a hit.
