skydivingninja's Top 50 Dream Theater Songs! (Starts at Page 9)

[hefdaddy42]

LtL is perhaps my #1 DT song. Such a masterpiece on a masterpiece album.

This.  I absolutely love this song.  Great to see that you have it ranked so high.

[Silver Tears]

LtL is perhaps my #1 DT song. Such a masterpiece on a masterpiece album.

Yup, great choice.

[Dark Master Of Sin]

Fatal Tragedy was my first favorite Dream Theater song! I now put it in the top five still, though.

[Quadrochosis]

Yay, at least we all agree on LtL!

[Marvellous G]

I'm guessing SDOIT and Pull Me Under.

[glaurung]

Yay, at least we all agree on LtL!

It isn't a very controversial pick for a favorite song.

[antigoon]

Trial of Tears shoulda been in the top 2!

[KevShmev]

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, I am disowning you, Quad.

[Dark Master Of Sin]

Yay, at least we all agree on LtL!

It's really hard to hate the song...

[MetalManiac666]

Yay, at least we all agree on LtL!

It's really hard to hate the song...

Yeah, pretty much.  Great song.

[contest_sanity]

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, I am disowning you, Quad.

"Voices" would be my number 1, so I'm hoping it's here too.

[Quadrochosis]

Here is number 2..

2. "Scene Nine: Finally Free" - Metropolis Pt. II: Scenes From A Memory

The grand finale of the best album ever created clocks in a number two on my controversial list. I'd imagine that this song is going to create quite a bit of controversy, but here it is. I consider this song to be so unbelievable that I only listen to it on rare occasion because often times I don't feel worthy listening to it. I don't even want to mention any specific parts because I feel like that would incorrectly demean other parts of this piece, and I can't just sit here and write a massive essay about the entire thing so I'll just leave it at saying this: For those that disagree with its placement. Listen again, and actually pay attention to it, and let it take you away.

Wow.  Unexpected choice.  For me, at least.

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Unexpected for me too. But then, now I remember how great this song is. The chorus is one of the best I've ever heard. "This feeling, inside me, finally found my life I'm finally free."

[KevShmev]

While this wouldn't be my number 2 DT song, anyone who has a problem with the placement of "Finally Free" needs to have their ears checked.   That song is just full of win.

[Gorille85]

Great choice for spot number 2! Finally Free is in my top 5 as well. A great, great song and a fantastic album closer.

[Plasmastrike]

Here is number 2..

HELL YES. Also a top 5 DT song for me!! 

[Zydar]

Great choice!

[RoeDent]

 

OK, that was unexpected. I was going to post yesterday that it was gonna be between 6DOIT and Pull Me Under, but this has blown the championship wide open.

Well done.   

[Mladen]

Whoa, I so didn't see this coming! 

Great song, but actually one of my lesser favorites on the magnificent SFAM. But heck, even my lesser favorites on that particular album still rule. 

[hefdaddy42]

OK, that was unexpected.

[moffatt]

Brilliant choice, it is definately a top 5 song for me too. It is just full of win. That riff at the end is just epic 

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Someone wanna list numbers 50 through 2? I'm too lazy to do so

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Just realized how unique this list is.

[antigoon]

Awesome pick. There are so many mood changes in the song and somehow they all work really well and it doesn't feel cut and paste one bit. One of the best, for sure.

[Silver Tears]

OK, that was unexpected.

[hefdaddy42]

Voices or Scarred for # 1 I assume?  Both are respectable choices.  But given one of them, the absence of the other from your Top 50 is mystifying. 

[Zydar]

It has to be You Not Me.

[tri.ad]

Sadly, SDOIT is going to be number 1. Oh well. Good list, nonetheless.

[KevShmev]

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, I am disowning you, Quad.

Changing this to:

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, while "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" is number one, I am disowning you, Quad.

[GuineaPig]

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, I am disowning you, Quad.

Changing this to:

If both "Voices" and "Scarred" don't make this top 50, while "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" is number one, I am disowning you, Quad.

So this.

[ScioPath]

It is without question going to be:
CAUGHT IN ALICE'S NINE-INCH TOOL GARDEN!!!

[Marvellous G]

Great choice for number two, I always forget how amazing Finally Free is until I actually listen to it. Hmmm, I still think it'll be SDOIT or Pull Me Under, but then where's Voices? Very interesting list.

[Plasmastrike]

I'd be disappointed to see PMU as number one. I'm really surprised Voices/Scarred isn't on the list yet based on his prior choices.

Here's to number one being either of those two.

EDIT: Yeah, SDOIT isn't on there. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[antigoon]

SDOIT is Dream Theater's most overrated song ever. Any other realistic pick would be preferable
