Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts. The band comprises John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), Mike Portnoy (drums), James LaBrie (vocals), and Jordan Rudess (keyboards). Dream Theater was originally formed under the name Majesty by Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy—each from Long Island, New York—while they were attending Berklee College of Music. They left the school to focus on the band. Over the years, Dream Theater has undergone several lineup changes, though Petrucci and Myung have remained constant, and Portnoy continues to play with the band today. After a brief period with vocalist Chris Collins, followed by Charlie Dominici (who was dismissed shortly after the release of their 1989 debut album When Dream and Day Unite), James LaBrie was hired as the band’s singer in 1991. Dream Theater’s original keyboardist, Kevin Moore, left after three albums and was replaced by Derek Sherinian in 1995 following a touring period. The band recorded one album and an EP with Sherinian before he was replaced by current keyboardist Jordan Rudess in 1999. Portnoy left the band in 2010 to pursue other musical interests and was replaced by Mike Mangini; he rejoined Dream Theater in October 2023. Dream Theater has released sixteen studio albums. Their highest‑selling release is their second album, Images and Words (1992), which reached No. 61 on the Billboard 200 chart. Other albums such as Awake (1994) and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002) also entered the charts.
