Help me make a mix for my uncle

[Implode]

After showing my aunt a few songs, she thinks my uncle would really like Dream Theater. I know that I'm definitely going to put 6 Degrees, Octavarium, and Metropolis on there. Considering his favorite band is Rush, what other songs do you guys think would fit his tastes?

[tri.ad]

Most of Images And Words should be worth a look (aside from Metropolis: Take The Time, Surrounded, Learning To Live). Throw in some stuff from SDOIT on there as well (aside from the title track); also, The Best Of Times might be a good choice.

[ZBomber]

If he likes Rush, include some stuff from WDADU (whether it be the studio version or a live JLB version.... A Fortune in Lies and Ytse Jam in particular)

[Jamesman42]

He'll probably like the proggier side of DT.

So maybe The Count of Tuscany, Take the Time, Learning to Live, A Change of Seasons, Trial of Tears, Lines in the Sand, The Best of Times.

Voices has to be included. just go with the whole A Mind Beside Itself

Voices has to be included. just go with the whole A Mind Beside Itself

Why? Voices works perfectly on its own. I'd be cautious about including Erotomania, since it might be a bit "too much" for a new listener.

6:00
Take the Time
These Walls
Hell's Kitchen
Lines in the Sand
Under a Glass Moon
Disappear
In the Name of God

A bit over an hour.  Just made it now without looking through it in iTunes, but you get mostly the proggy side of DT with the heavier side at the end.  I have a feeling he'll respond well to 6:00, TTT, LitS, and UAGM in particular.

Gotta include a newer song or two. I might consider "A RIte of Passage" or "Forsaken" .
