surrender to reason has that abysmally bad petrucci solo but otherwise is more memorable, i guess

neither are particularly good

[Adami]

I honestly never understood why everyone liked Surrender to Reason so much.

So yea, Surrender.

[aprilethereal]

Definitely A Tempting Offer

[MirrorMask]

I honestly never understood why everyone liked Surrender to Reason so much.

So yea, Surrender.

[Prog Snob]

Definitely A Tempting Offer

Yes

I honestly never understood why everyone liked Surrender to Reason so much.

So yea, Surrender.

I hope you choke on your large intestine.

[Mladen]

Surrender To Reason

And to be honest, I love A Tempting offer, but I would agree top 30 might be a bit much.

A Tempting Offer

[CharlesPL]

A Tempting Offer

[geeeemo]

I like a Tempting Offer because it is part of the story and is quite dramatic.  But, in and of itself, it is not as enjoyable as STR.

[BlackInk]

Definitely A Tempting Offer

[ToT-147]

They're equally awesome, but only one has one of JR's best solos..

surrender to reason has that abysmally bad petrucci solo but otherwise is more memorable, i guess

Except that song doesn't have any solo at all.. But I see you mean the guitar melody after the first chorus... and I don't get how anyone can dislike it, but yeah, tastes...

[Crow]

there is absolutely definitely a solo section near the end

[Adami]

I think this tie-breaker actually has more votes than the round.

[The Letter M]

Seems like there's a clear loser here, so I will be posting Round 8 momentarily!

-Marc.

[ToT-147]

there is absolutely definitely a solo section near the end

Yeah, that's the same melody I'm talking about.. It's not a solo section.. JP does more or less the same melody overlapping the final post-chorus..

[Crow]

dude it's the part that sounds like him taking a chainsaw to his guitar strings over myung grooving

that's called a solo and it's awful

[ToT-147]

dude it's the part that sounds like him taking a chainsaw to his guitar strings over myung grooving

that's called a solo and it's awful

Ahhh, my bad, you mean the in-your-face solo.. But it's not "near the end".. It's in the middle.. I guess I don't mind THAT kind of solos, that's why I totally forgot about it..

[jakepriest]

dude it's the part that sounds like him taking a chainsaw to his guitar strings over myung grooving

that's called a solo and it's awful

if the song didnt have that abomination of a solo, it would actually be very good
