[Scorpion]

1.   A Nightmare to Remember vs. Ytse Jam (ANTR is a little too long, whereas Ytse Jam is kept short and sweet.)
2.   Bridges in the Sky vs. Through Her Eyes (I like both a lot, for different reasons, but BITS is just so much awesome that THE can't compete.)
3.   Panic Attack vs. The Dark Eternal Night (I dislike both, but Panic Attack has some redeeming qualities.)
4.   Metropolis vs. Pull Me Under (Both are great, but come one.)
5.   Beyond This Life vs. Forsaken (I'm not that big on BTL, but it's sure better than Forsaken.)
6.   Lifting Shadows off a Dream vs. Another Day (LSOAD is beautiful, whereas AD tries to be that and fails.)
7.   Just Let Me Breathe vs. Finally Free (Similar to the BTL-F matchup. There are very few songs that would lose against JLMB.)
8.   New Millennium vs. Peruvian Skies (I despise NM with a passion. The intro is cool, but it quickly drops off into forgettable mediocrity. The chorus is laughable.)
9.   The Way it Used to Be vs. Wither (Wither is great, especially the piano work.)
10.   Octavarium vs. Constant Motion (I'm no fan of Octavarium, but, you know, I'm even less a fan of Constant Motion.)
11.   Speak to Me vs. The Root of All Evil (Both are some of DT's simpler, more straight-forward songs, I enjoy Root slightly more, but tomorrow that might be different. Very difficult for me!)
12.   Endless Sacrifice vs. Cover My Eyes (ES is awesome, even the instrumental section.)

Week 4-B

1.   A Nightmare to Remember vs. Ytse Jam (Antr suffers a lot from more than one questionable passage. I don't really like YJ, but it gets the vote)
2.   Bridges in the Sky vs. Through Her Eyes (I love THE, but BITS is an epic, and second best song on a great great album)
3.   Panic Attack vs. The Dark Eternal Night (TDEN has grown into me since seeing it played last tour. A great song on the stage)
4.   Metropolis vs. Pull Me Under (One of the gods against one of the greatest of mankind. The god wins)
5.   Beyond This Life vs. Forsaken (little though here)
6.   Lifting Shadows off a Dream vs. Another Day (I may have already repented. Don't ask for explaination)
7.   Just Let Me Breathe vs. Finally Free (no brainer, really)
8.   New Millennium vs. Peruvian Skies (a weak song vs. an extremely strong middle size. No brainer)
9.   The Way it Used to Be vs. Wither (The Way It Used can blow a lot of DT songs out of the lake. It's a shame it's so scarcely known!)
10.   Octavarium vs. Constant Motion (it's like a fly trying to overthrow the london eye just flying into it)
11.   Speak to Me vs. The Root of All Evil (I like root, it's probably my favourite of the suite, and much more so with the new ending, but STM is still a bit higher)
12.   Endless Sacrifice vs. Cover My Eyes (so far I have voted CMS over any song. This is not likely to go on forever)

This, except I picked Wither and The Root of All Evil

[namgalsipsclar]

It almost feels a little bit unfair to have the unreleased tracks in here. Unless theyre matched against each other theyre going to lose every round because many people havent heard of them.

You're right. But if I didn't include them, people who actually know of them/enjoy them might be upset. Hopefully this League inspires some Dream Theater fans to explore all of this band's amazing music.

[krands85]

1.   A Nightmare to Remember vs. Ytse Jam - ANTR is awesome, a lot of people don't like some sections of it but I've never really been bothered by that. 2nd best track from BC&SL. Ytse Jam is always good fun, but I prefer ANTR
2.   Bridges in the Sky vs. Through Her Eyes - Through her Eyes is nice, but it can never compete with a song like BitS. One of the best songs they've done recently, second best on ADTOE and has one of my favourite DT moments.
3.   Panic Attack vs. The Dark Eternal Night - I like them both, but TDEN can drag on a bit sometimes. Panic Attack is one of the 4 great songs on 8VM.
4.   Metropolis vs. Pull Me Under - Tough match for PMU which I love, never going to come close to my defeating favourite song ever though!
5.   Beyond This Life vs. Forsaken - I was obsessed with Forsaken for a while after SC came out and I was first starting to get into the band. I still enjoy it now, but I usually prefer the longer/heavier tracks. BTL is my favourite from Scenes.
6.   Lifting Shadows off a Dream vs. Another Day - 2 lovely songs. AD wins because of JPs solo and the incredible vocals
7.   Just Let Me Breathe vs. Finally Free - A good song against one of the worst. Easy.
8.   New Millennium vs. Peruvian Skies - Both of these fall into the middle ground of FII for me. Neither are amongst the dregs of the album like JLMB, but are not on the same tier as LitS or ToT either. NM slightly better I think
9.   The Way it Used to Be vs. Wither - One of the few times I'll vote for one of the "lesser known" tracks I think. I just listened to it again - great 2nd half to the song. Though I had voted for it beforehand anyway. Wither doesn't do too much for me.
10.   Octavarium vs. Constant Motion - I actually really like CM, more than a lot of people I think, but Octavarium is only bettered by Metropolis and Learning to Live.
11.   Speak to Me vs. The Root of All Evil - Great opener to 8VM, great live, awesome riff. Even if I regularly listened to Speak to Me, it wouldn't beat TROAE
12.   Endless Sacrifice vs. Cover My Eyes - Similar story to above. I've always loved Endless Sacrifice, especially the instrumental section through to the end of the song.

[Prog Snob]

1.   A Nightmare to Remember vs. Ytse Jam  - A no-brainer for me.
2.   Bridges in the Sky vs. Through Her Eyes - Tough call.  I love the beauty of the ending solo in Through Her Eyes, but BitS is such a killer song.
3.   Panic Attack vs. The Dark Eternal Night - How the hell did Panic Attack beat anything? 
4.   Metropolis vs. Pull Me Under - Easy choice for me.
5.   Beyond This Life vs. Forsaken - The instrumental parts in BTL are great.
6.   Lifting Shadows off a Dream vs. Another Day - Really tough call, but LSoaD is lyrically one of the best songs.
7.   Just Let Me Breathe vs. Finally Free - Love the guitar parts in this song from start to finish.
8.   New Millennium vs. Peruvian Skies - Tough call, but PS is an awesome and catchy song.
9.   The Way it Used to Be vs. Wither - My favorite of the "unreleased" DT songs.
10.   Octavarium vs. Constant Motion - Not a big fan of CM even against 8V's slow lyrical beginning.
11.   Speak to Me vs. The Root of All Evil - I love the guitars in this song.
12.   Endless Sacrifice vs. Cover My Eyes - After ItNoG, my favorite on ToT.

1 was the only one that confounded me. Overall I don't much care for ANtR, but the Beautiful Agony section's better than any of YJ. 

[MoraWintersoul]

1.   A Nightmare to Remember vs. Ytse Jam (I like the harsher vocals by JMX better )
2.   Bridges in the Sky vs. Through Her Eyes (BitS is still not quite there, THE is completely)
3.   Panic Attack vs. The Dark Eternal Night (two songs I don't like, but TDEN is a bit better)
4.   Metropolis vs. Pull Me Under (tough match, went for the legend)
5.   Beyond This Life vs. Forsaken (easily)
6.   Lifting Shadows off a Dream vs. Another Day (really hard, the lyrics won here)
7.   Just Let Me Breathe vs. Finally Free (yeah I don't get myself either sometimes)
8.   New Millennium vs. Peruvian Skies (easily)
9.   The Way it Used to Be vs. Wither (I don't really like Wither, and I like The Way)
10.   Octavarium vs. Constant Motion ('scuse me while I lol my way to Australia and back)
11.   Speak to Me vs. The Root of All Evil (preeeeetty tough, the Root has grown on me but not as much as it should)
12.   Endless Sacrifice vs. Cover My Eyes (As much as I like CME, ES is a monster)

[Octavaripolis]

What really baffles me is that one person actually voted Constant Motion..
