I dont use Guitar hero as a means to judge music, Foxy. Who knows why that particular song was a part of the game, but to give any artist a fair shake, I always listen to at least one full album in its entirety before I send it to the "circle 13" (the trash)
I appreciate what Guitar Hero is doing by exposing a vast variety of music to young people, but that doesn't mean the song choices are the best offered by that particular artist. And I might add the musical quility of Guitar Hero is just terrible. It is intended to be a game, not a place to hear music.
Dream Theater is one of those bands that is very complex in music composition, you sometimes have to listen several times to pick up all the sounds and moods the music is creating. To put this analogy to something that would seem more logical to you, let me use some death metal as an example: I am not fond of growling/squealing vocals, but I can look beyond what is negative in the music and listen for positives, like the guitarists, the keyboardists, etc. I have found alot of death/doom metal that has fantastic music orchestration, but the vocals can sometimes overshadow or ruin things for me.
I hope you see where I am coming from
