DT Song Wars - THE EPICS
« on: July 10, 2012, 02:02:57 AM »
Time to make this really fun...and hard. :biggrin:

And let's NOT make this an argument over what is an epic and what isn't.  Let's just vote and discuss which of these particular groupings are best, k? :)

Also, in this one, everyone can vote for their three favorite groupings, so that throws a bit of a twist into it.  Several songs over 10 minutes were left off, so no quibbling about that either, please. :)

I think I'll go with B, E and I.

I voted for 2: A and F

If I had to choose between them, I would've chosen F based on the fact that Metropolis AND ITPOE trump everything.

C, G, and H. Trail of Tears, Octavarium, and Breaking all Illusions are my #2, #4, and #1 DT songs, respectively, and the other songs are all in my top 20.

Yeah... very tough, since every group seems to have a bit of a stinker in there.  How convenient. 

I went E, G, H.  Tough to leave F out though, but I love ES and BAI too much to skip that one.

Tight battle between A and I, but I won.

Pity that Lines in the Sand has so weak mates.

E: I had three votes? Shit.

I don't get it too, both SDOIT and Lines In The Sand are flawless and ANTR isn't bad at all and it has Beautiful Agony Section and so on... I voted for D, G, H.

There are no stinkers here.  Even the least best songs here are still pretty darn good.  :tup :tup

Considering the competition, nothing will surprise me in this poll.  I went in thinking that any of the nine options could have finished first or last.

Allow me to clarify... each group seems to have an A, B, and C-list song.  It's not like you put The Glass Prison, Metropolis, and Breaking All Illusions together, or conversely ANTR, Ministry of Lost Souls and Beyond this Life.

"Stinker" was harsher than I intended.  And it's all relative.
