OK. I am into this for a bit over 2 years now - since I made the greatest discovery ever. DT has more than 1 song.
I have been in the honeymoon stage pretty much the whole time and not until the last couple of months willing to listen to anyone else. I have kind of expanded a bit with Symphony X and Joe Stump. Love Metallica less now....
After 2 years I pretty much know all the music now and my list has changed a few times, but I think it's fairly settled now. I decided I really needed to listen to several albums to make a determination between 3 and 11. So for the last week or so I have been pounding DT. It has been wonderful and I am nowhere close to being burned out.
1. Scenes
2. ADTOE
3. Six Degrees
4. BCSL - everyone is so down on this, I love every song and never want to skip and the covers are great also. I will be listening to this more.
5. Awake
6. IAW - I suspect it is lower than typical because I didn't start out with them and this album.
7. The Astonishing - I prefer heavier, but I saw it 3 times and now Love it every time I turn it on. When I hear the NOMACS at the very beginning I am immediately transported to the concerts and where I fell in love. James does such a great job with the different characters. I have listened enough to really tell the difference.
8. TOT
9. SC - I like ITPOE 1 and 2 together better.
10. Octavarium - It has 3 of my fave songs and my all time fave - Ocatvarium, but I cant get into the rest as much. I love the art, the originality of how each song goes up 1 key to make the octave.
11. FII - I really like this one too
12. DT12 - a few greats
13. WDADU - I have to have JLB
I could easily switch around 4-11
