What do you think is the most underrated Dream Theater song?

#1
These Walls

EDIT: I would also say Surrounded

Umm... probably PoW.  It's not my favorite or anything, but considering most people hate it, my mild liking of it makes me consider it underrated.

If I'm going by songs that I really LOVE and nobody else seems to, then either Caught in a Web or These Walls.

FlyingBIZKIT

I would say Blind Faith and New Millennium.

From what I've seen, Blind Faith is pretty highly rated.  But heck - I said These Walls like a minute after someone else, so maybe it's not as underrated as I thought, either.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I actually feel that The Ministry of Lost Souls is underrated. I've always loved that tune ;D

Don't Look Past Me
To Live Forever

Why these songs weren't on I&W is beyond me. If they didn't have enough room for them to fit on one cd, then they should have been in place of Surrounded and Another Day.

Burning My Soul, I love this song

I agree with this - I was surprised when so many picked it as the worst song on FII in another thread.  Also, I love Lifting Shadows Off a Dream and it seems a lot of people don't care for it.

tri.ad

Light Fuse And Get Away. The amount of groove in the instrumental section impresses me every time.

You not Me - Highly underated song imo.  More "mainstream" than alot of DT work, but I really enjoy the song.

LSOAD is awesome!! :tup

Metrovarium

The Answer Lies Within and These Walls. The entire album (Octavarium) is underrated, IMO.

Heaven Outcry Angel

a lot of ToT in particular though.

FlyingBIZKIT

I forgot Vacant. My 2nd favorite song from ToT.

These, plus The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun, Status Seeker and Speak to Me.

Another Day

It usually gets a low spot on many people's rankings, but personally it's a Top 5 DT song for me. The same goes for Surrounded too.

This too.  Another Day isn't a top 5 for me, but it is underrated for sure.  And Surrounded is amazing.

Probably Metropolis Pt.1 or a change of seasons

Underrated? Those gets plenty of praise and are usually in the Top 5 in all the rankings.

DejaVu

The Ministry of Lost Souls for sure! It's an excellent song!

Odyssey is still my favourite DT instrumental, that never gets mentioned on here.

FlyingBIZKIT

I would say the Great Debate as well. It's in my top 25

Dynia

These Walls and The Great Debate. I like both, and they are rarely talked about.
