The fact that you originally had Creeping Death is

[Zydar]

Yeah, but somehow I feel that Metallica is no longer on my top 10. Definitely on top 20 though.

[sneakyblueberry]

Me too.  Metallica and Megadeth were my love bands when I was 12-14ish.  Now I rarely listen to them.

[skydivingninja]

My list is pretty much the same as the last time I posted (except PT, I'm not sure what my favorite song is), but here's a bonus artist:

Devin Townsend-Deadhead

[Bombardana]

Top 10
Meshuggah - Dancers to a Discordant System
Devin Townsend - Earth Day
Behemoth - Slaves Shall Serve
Nile - User-Maat-Re
Opeth - The Drapery Falls
Symphony X - Rediscovery Pt.2
Dream Theater - The Glass Prison

Dream Theater - Disappear

Seriously?

Yup.
It's easily their best song for me, because it's emotional and beautiful - something DT very very rarely displays.
It also has a very special meaning, so i guess that adds something.
