The discography of Dream Theater, an American progressive metal band, consists of eleven studio albums, two extended plays, five live albums, one compilation, four videos, seven singles, and eleven music videos. The band was formed under the name Majesty by guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy while the three of them were attending Berklee College of Music in September 1985. The trio added keyboard player Kevin Moore and vocalist Chris Collins in order to complete their lineup.[1] After the band released a demo entitled Majesty Demos, Collins was replaced by Charlie Dominici in November 1987.[2]

The group signed with Mechanic Records, and released its debut album When Dream and Day Unite in 1989. After the album's release the group agreed to change their name to "Dream Theater", inspired by a now-demolished California movie theater. After firing Dominici, Dream Theater hired Canadian vocalist James LaBrie in 1991.[1] LaBrie's debut album was Images and Words, was the band's first gold-certified album by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold more than 500,000 copies.[3] Moore left the group after the recording of 1994's Awake and was replaced by Derek Sherinian for the album's tour—he was later hired as a full member. Dream Theater's first live album, Once in a Livetime, was released in 1998.[2]

In 1999, Jordan Rudess was hired to replace Sherinian. Rudess's first work was Scenes from a Memory, a concept album that followed the story of a murder mystery. In 2002, the group released Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, followed by Train of Thought in 2003, and Octavarium in 2005. The live album Score was released for the band's 20th anniversary and featured the band backed by a 29-piece orchestra. It was followed a year later by their ninth studio album, Systematic Chaos.[1] Dream Theater has sold over two million records and DVDs in the United States and over ten million records and DVDs throughout the world.[4][5][6] Dream Theater's tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, the band's second under Roadrunner Records; was released on June 23, 2009.[7] In September 2010, founding drummer Mike Portnoy announced that he was leaving the band. The band filmed a documentary ("The Spirit Carries On") of their search for a replacement who they found in Berklee professor Mike Mangini.[8] On September 13, 2011 Dream Theater released their eleventh studio album A Dramatic Turn of Events, their first album featuring drummer Mike Mangini. The band released their eleventh music video for On the Backs of Angels on October 4 2011.
