I think Breaking All Illusions is the perfect realization of almost everything that I've ever loved about Dream Theater. That's my choice for sure.
A Change Of Seasons.
Nothing since then has come close to the perfection of that song, and i doubt ever will.
Agreed. It was also the last studio performance LaBrie gave at the height of his Powers.
Actually, it wasn't. A Change of Seasons was post-accident.
I guess that makes it the first official performance
since the 'accident'? Which makes it all the more impressive. I always thought if this accident was so detrimental to James' vocals, that A Change of Seasons is quite the anomaly between Awake and Falling into Infinity (considering also Perfect Strangers sounds like something you might expect to hear on Live at the Marquee, based on vocal performance, not to mention the Zeppelin Medley). Personally I believe he wore himself out even more from all the touring in 94-96 and that it was more a loss of consistency than anything else. But many would argue that today, his consistency has gone beyond even what it used to be.
Constant Motion.
GTFO
It's a good song, so what? It might be a controversial opinion, but I honestly think Systematic Chaos is one of the best DT albums, overall.
Don't know if you're serious, it's a shame that I don't know whether to believe if someone is serious or not when they say their favourite song is CM.
I still think it's a top 20 song and I have a friend who'd rank it in his top 3 or maybe 5. And sometimes the mixed reactions on this song means I don't even know if it's underrated and unappreciated, or just generally overrated and hated.
