We're past the midway point in my Favorite "Time of Day" Songs series. #4 is "6:00" by Dream Theater.
Dream Theater is an insanely talented prog metal band from Boston, where they formed as "Majesty" in 1985. Band members routinely win awards from music magazines, and, according to Wikipedia, former drummer Mike Portnoy was the 2nd youngest person inducted into the Rock Drummer Hall of Fame. The band is also in the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Dream Theater has sold over 12 million records worldwide.
From their 1994 album, Awake, "6:00" was not released as a single, but it does make a fine opener for the album. Wikipedia, again: The band's record company had been pushing them to make a more commercial metal album for marketing purposes. "6:00" more than fits the bill.

Tsk. They could have made the song six minutes long instead of 5:34.

I did not know they were that old. This band was always way underrated. I am also impressed still chugging along on these time a day songs. I wonder if I can find 10 songs from some random topic. lol

I was a bit surprised they've been around that long, myself.
