 | A Change of Seasons by Dream Theater
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.45 What else? I was lucky enough to see Dream Theater play this entire song as an encore for a concert in Philadelphia, PA - it blew me away. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may".

 | The Kindness of Strangers by Spock's Beard
Buy used from: $10.00 "Flow" gets my vote as the best Spock's Beard song. "A constant flow of sight and sound".
|
 | Space Revolver by The Flower Kings
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $7.95 "I Am the Sun part 1" may be their best. "Let's move a mountain".

 | Images and Words by Dream Theater
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $3.59 "Metropolis part 1" was probably the song that made Dream Theater salient to prog fans. "Learning to Live" is also noteworthy.

 | Beware of Darkness by Spock's Beard
Buy used from: $20.00 "Walking on the Wind" is the song I have in mind from this album (an underrated Spock's Beard song), but "The Doorway" and "Time Has Come" are great as well.
|
 | Falling Into Infinity by Dream Theater
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.38 "Lines in the Sand" is an underrated masterpiece. "Trial of Tears" is another good epic from this album.
|
 | V by Spock's Beard
Buy used from: $5.98 "At the End of the Day" is what I have in mind from this album. "The Great Nothing" is good but it's a little too bitter and a little too literal. "Earth dancing 'round the fire".
|

Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $13.98 "Big Puzzle" is another great Flower Kings epic.
|
