Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

People are gonna get tired of me talking about this song, but my answer is Octavarium.

Learning To Live, Metropolis. Those two songs most of all (there are others as well, even from DT) will most likely stay with me forever.

Octavarium. Easily their best epic; none of the others come close. There are a few other songs that I like better, but if anyone asked me to name one song that shows DT at their best, I would direct them to this one.

It's usually interchangeable between Under A Glass Moon, and The Mirror, but Illumination Theory is starting to get some consideration now as well, so I guess any of those three would be an answer from me.

Well right now probably Surrender To Reason. Every second of this song is absolute perfection. Even the lyrics are really great and I can relate to them a lot. I liked it from the first listen but it grew on me much more over time. Simply flawless DT song for me.

I'm surprised no one has said "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence". Definitely my choice, although ACOS and 8VM come close.

That's definitely my choice. :tup Great variety, showcases their melodic, metal and prog sides perfectly.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Err.. God damn, I can't really do it with complete certainty, it's too hard  :lol. But in this exact moment right now.. um... A Mind Beside Itself? It's got a bit of everything, and it's pretty epic as a whole.

If that's considered cheating then fine.. I pick Voices. - It's a very subtle and yet dynamic piece with lots of build up, great vocal delivery, weird mysterious lyrics, and one of the best guitar solos ever. Any DT song that can hold my interest for as long as this one would have to be a stellar track.
