* [[http://loudwire.com/dream-theater-images-and-words-wins-march-metal-madness-2013/ Dream Theater's Images and Words voted best metal album of all time.]] What makes it particularly impressive is that a fairly niche prog rock album managed to not only win, but in doing so defeat legendary albums by the likes of Music/{{Metallica}}, Music/{{Slayer}}, Music/{{Megadeth}}, and Music/JudasPriest. Not bad.

* The entire "Live Scenes from New York" concert: they played the entirety of ''Scenes from a Memory,'' another full concerts worth of music after that (including all three parts of "A Mind Beside Itself"), and they for the encore, they played the [[EpicRocking 23-minute long]] "A Change of Seasons". The icing on the cake is at the very end when James [=LaBrie=] apologizes for having such a short set. Even more impressive, James [=LaBrie=] was suffering from food poisoning the entire time, and was hospitalized after the concert. And it still sounded awesome.

* James [=LaBrie=] deserves one himself for having the guts to tackle the ever-so-complicated topic of sexual assault and the horribly traumatic effects it has on the victim and their ability to maintain a relationship on "At Wit's End". Said song is from the husband's point of view, and said husband is determined to help his wife overcome the trauma and help her see that she deserves love and what happened in her past that she didn't intend to happen is ''not'' her fault at all.
