The ultimate DT song ranking thread

[bosk1]

I've always been interested in getting as close to an actual consensus as possible as to where certain DT songs rank in people's song preferences.  So, while I know this is a bit time consuming, I'm interested in getting as many rankings as possible.  Hopefully, I will have time to tabulate results eventually (or, even better, hopefully, someone will volunteer to do this for me).  So, below is a list of all DT songs appearing on official studio releases from WDADU through SC, including the EP.  Yes, I know there are demos, B-sides, etc. out there.  But this is the list.  Please rank only the songs you've heard.  So if, for example, you only have Images & Words and have never heard another DT song, you would only rank the songs on I&W as 1-8.  So...rank 'em!

The list:

A Fortune In Lies
Status Seeker
The Ytse Jam
The Killing Hand
Light Fuse And Get Away
Afterlife
The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Wow you're right I can kill a lot of time doing this... I'll have to think long and hard about it.

[jingle.boy]

Didn't the Ultimate Hurt/Heal pretty much solve this last year?

[bosk1]

No because (1) heal/hurt threads are lame; (2) if it was last year, that thread no longer exists, and (3) heal/hurt threads are lame.

[jingle.boy]

No because (1) heal/hurt threads are lame; (2) if it was last year, that thread no longer exists, and (3) heal/hurt threads are lame.

hmmm... who's fault would that be?

Your failure's are starting to rival Nick's.     Hurt/Heal tourney's are entertaining.

I shall give this matter some thought and post here later tonight.

[Dream Team]

Maybe we should wait a couple more weeks until we have assimilated BC&SL?

[brakkum]

Maybe we should wait a couple more weeks until we have assimilated BC&SL?

maybe, but to really figure out where those songs sit in your list, you would have to listen to it for a while first.

I agree with that, except I think a lot of people have listened to them quite a bit already  .

[The Root Of All Evil]

Only really listened to a Rite of Passage, I didn't really wana ruin that feeling when you buy the album and listening to it for the first time if ya know what I mean? lol.

[jingle.boy]

Only really listened to a Rite of Passage, I didn't really wana ruin that feeling when you buy the album and listening to it for the first time if ya know what I mean? lol.

A lot of us here are like that.  I also prefer the legal method of listening to the artists I love, and want to give my money to so they can continue making great music.

[TheOutlawXanadu]

No one needs to have heard BC&SL to know that "The Count of Tuscany" is more epic than ACoS + 8VM + Marisa Tomei + Goku + Neil Patrick Harris. The song's got the words "Count" and "Tuscany" in it for God's sake. Just everyone rank it at #1 and let's move on.

[glaurung]

This is much harder than I thought it would be but I'm working on it. It's especially hard with Scenes from a Memory because I'm so used to thinking of the whole thing as an album and not individual tracks.

[Zeltar]

I'll do this after BCSL comes out so I can legally put the songs on the list.

Best TOX post in a while.

Now wait a minute man . . .

[TheOutlawXanadu]

Alright maybe that was a stretch.

[bosk1]

I'll do this after BCSL comes out so I can legally put the songs on the list.

I don't want the BCSL songs on the list, which is why I started this thread now instead of waiting.

Some tracks I haven't listened to/listened to enough to rate against others, so left them out. For example most of 6DoIT I have listened to a few times but not much. That list is pretty close, sure if I spent more time on it I could get it closer but, it took me a good 45mins! lol.

This is here temporarily so it doesn't get deleted when we're pruning old threads.  Now that BCSL has been out a while, I'm going to do something with it.  In the meantime, it's a good resource for anyone who wants a quick list of all DT official releases.
