Cleaning Out The Closet & Other B-Sides
A Change Of Seasons
Don't Look Past Me
To Live Forever
Eve
Raise The Knife
Where Are You Now?
The Way It Used To Be
Cover My Eyes
Speak To Me
You Or Me
Raw Dog

Starting this one up a bit early today (just in case I don't keep up with it and it falls into the later hours of the day as the survivor goes on).

To answer some questions - Yes, ACOS will likely win this one and go to the Finals, but it's here anyways. Yes, that probably means only one of these other 10 songs will also go to the Finals, but they were all cut from their respective albums for a reason, right (except Raw Dog, which wasn't a non-album track)? Yes, I included You Or Me as it was officially released on the Hollow Years single, so it exists in an official fashion as a non-album track, even though it's a different version of a song that made a studio album. No, live-album songs are NOT included, so no "Another Hand" or "Moon Bubbles" or anything like that, especially if it wasn't on an official release - studio-recorded tracks only! And yes, before anyone nitpicks, I'm using the term "B-Side" loosely as a term to define songs that were released but not part of any official album, or were studio-recorded tracks that were released as singles or part of other singles and EPs.

Anyways, here we go, for ten rounds, the COTC and Other B-Sides Survivor!

Raw Dog.

10 bucks says at least 3 people will be voting for ACOS from round one.

Voting for Raise the Knife.

Raw Dog for me has brutal crushing riffs, sick bass lines and Portnoy Is stellar here.

Really good song.

Where Are You Now

Raw Dog is far from their worst song.... and of course, far from their best.

Okay, ACOS seems like the obvious winner, but can we at least get Eve through to the finals? Most underrated DT song ever and it's not even close.

Voting for Raw Dog but only because I completely forgot about Raise the Knife, I dislike that one slightly more

It's just DTF circle-jerking. It is by no means as bad as people make it out to be.

The intro is cool, but I can never remember the rest of the song. Us peeps voting for it just consider it the worst on the list.

I should have gone with You or me, though.

I think I'd put Eve 3rd or 4th, but it's really really great.

You or Me

No surprise to see Raw Dog losing, but honestly, that's a really fun instrumental. It's not a great song by any means, but I do enjoy the fun riffs.

Serah Farron · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2017, 10:16:38 PM »

1. A Change of Seasons (I know...Obvious.)
2. Eve/Cover My Eyes
3. To Live Forever/Don't Look Past

I know that's cheating but those six are my absolute favorites.

Adami · « **Reply #22 on:** February 28, 2017, 10:17:49 PM »

1. A Change of Seasons (fav DT song)
2. Raise the Knife
3. To Live Forever

Looks like I might be wrong. Guess Kotow doesn't check these.

Boo...I wanted to kill people.

Adami · « **Reply #28 on:** March 01, 2017, 01:49:01 AM »

Still almost 9 hours.

PLus all the other rounds.

Raw Dog - easily the worst song ever released under the Dream Theater name.

BlackInk · « **Reply #31 on:** March 01, 2017, 10:05:30 AM »

I don't consider Raw Dog to be bad, it's just not interesting.
