I just reacquired Falling Into Infinity after getting rid of my copy years ago.   I just started listening to it again, and I think it was mainly "You Not Me" that turned me off the album.  We'll see how this listen goes.

Boy . . .
(Again- I have been reminded of how I felt about that DT album and watching the Vid . . .)
That album had to grow on me but I ended up liking it alot!  The song that I still cant listen to is
"Burning my Soul", only for the reason that "Producer" (PRODUCER!!!???)  "Kevin Shirley" wanted
everyone to try "new things" and suggested that Petrucci try adding a "Voice Box" vocal in it Pinch. 
Luckily, when they do it live, its nowhere to be found.
This was pressure from the Label wanting DT to be more commercial and almost broke up the band.
You can "see" all this on the excellent Vid "5 Years in a Livetime".
Their were tracks that did not make the Album but are Bonus Tracks on the Japanese version (And
can be found on the Club CD "Cleaning out the Closet").
Including a beautiful track called "Speak to me" and "Have I lost my mind" that are played live on the
VHS/DVD Big smile  (I believe "Raise the Knife" was the extra track as well and is INCREDIBLE, though it
appeared as a "Demo Track").

"Speak to me" Live-5 Years in a Livetime:


"Raise the Knife"  -Cleaning out the Closet/Fanclub CD:


"Score DVD Live version" of same song- which I think is even better!:

Caress of Steel....love that album !!! But I picked Saxon Power & The Glory. That album blew me away back in 80something......The Eagle Has Landed...brutal song...I think I blew out some car speakers back in the day playing it so loud.

Quite a few good ones in there but I had to go with In Through the Out Door. Considering the issues in the band at the time it was essentially a JPJ solo album and taking it at that it's a pretty fucking good LZ album.
Of course, if Led Zeppelin is on the list I am going to choose them almost all the time.
With them out of the question I'd put Ultimate Sin slightly above Caress of Steel.

I'd re-vote if I could . . .

If I thought more about it, YES "Union" is really un-popular and I like it, especially all the "moody"
songs, very "Night-time/Nocturnal".  All the other albums I can see as more popular.
But I never really liked "The Grateful Dead" and as a Megadeth fan since the beginning, I will
NEVER like "Risk" no matter how much they re-mix it Tongue.



Saxon's "Power and the Glory" is a MUST for any Metal fan.
And being a die-hard Rush-head, Caress of Steel is classic Big smile.

I voted for the Dream Theater over Caress Of Steel which I don't really consider underrated and is a staple in my listening over the last 35 years.

I went for Risk by Megadeth, have always liked it, yes it is the oddball in their catalogue, but I think there are some really decent tunes on there. While I quite like Load, personally I think Re-Load is the album of that period that deserves the real criticism.

 

To be honest I am more a fan of 80s Rush, but every since the film, Beyond the Lighted Stage, I have always been meaning to go back to Caress of Steel and reacquaint myself with it. Maybe I’ll do that tonight ...
