WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DREAM THEATER SONG?
« on: December 07, 2014, 05:31:30 PM »
Hello everyone. I apologize for starting a poll outside of the Polls & Survivors forum, but at least it's not 13 separate polls :)

Please vote for your favorite Dream Theater song.

The songs aren't in chronological or alphabetical order. The order is based on the divisions from DT the League (a game we play on the Polls & Survivors forum). I'm not predicting that the songs will be voted for in order, but I can say with confidence that the songs in the top 32 will receive more votes than the songs below them.

I've checked the "allow users to change vote" box because I know that one's favorite can change over time. Also, it's handy in case someone accidentally votes for the wrong song, very possible in a poll of this size.

Feel free to use this thread to talk about your favorite song, other peoples' favorite songs, and of course, the obligatory "what constitutes a song" arguments.

This will allow us to see, very clearly, which songs are our favorites. Happy voting and happy posting!

"Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence". It's got length, width, depth, and girth. It's got quantity AND quality. It's got it all. I love all 42 minutes of it and it's absolutely my favorite DT song ever.

Also, PRO-TIP: Use CTRL+F to find a specific song in the list before voting. It'll make it easier to see what you're voting for.

Metropolis was my favorite from the time I discovered the band till the time I first heard Scenes. Home was my favorite from that point until mid-2007.
Then it became In The Presence of Enemies, which it remains until this day, but it has been challenged by Nightmare and IT.

You should have included "can't pick just one" as an option.

How MANY songs-if you know-are on your list?

Those are some cool choices!

Metropolis is mine, and always will be, most likely. But of course, it depends on my mood what DT song I'm most into any given day.

Metropolis  -  Like other folks on this site, could be 5 or more depending on my mood.  I believe that Metropolis defines DT and progressive rock.

It would have been much easier to find songs if it were in album order. And it doesn't give me the option to change my vote.

My motivation in listing the songs like this was so that the songs that will get the majority of the votes can be all viewed without scrolling down.

Not sure why it wouldn't allow the changing of votes.

112.

Is that all of them? It looks like all of them. I swear last time I counted I thought there were 120 songs. I dunno.  :lol

EDIT: I see Where Are You Now is missing. But that's the only one I can notice atm without getting stupidly obscure about it.

Anyway, nothing too surprising so far. Only a few votes in and Learning to Live, Octavarium, Six Degrees, Metropolis and A Change of Seasons are already taking the lead.  :xbones

Oh, and Raw Dog and You Not Me, lol.

LTL.

When I first got into the band, I was more into the heavier side, with Train of Thought being my favourite album. In the Name of God was my favourite track for quite a while, occasionally Endless Sacrifice would challenge it for top spot. Then, when I started getting into Images and Words, Metropolis became my #1 for a long time. It has now been overtaken by Learning to Live and I don't see it changing any time soon.

Now, KNEEL!! :hefdaddy :biggrin:

More seriously : looking at this list, and wondering how the hell it is possible to chose just 1 song ? :omg:

Although 6DOIT is probably the song which best sums up what DT is, I will chose the easy way, by picking ACOS.  :biggrin:

I love those kinds of forum, where you have to pay real attention to each little word you wrote if you don't want to get banned...

This is what you can call tolerance, I guess... :yeahright
