1. Surrounded 5:30
2. Voices 9:53
3. Trial of Tears 13:07
4. Fatal Tragedy 6:49
5. Misunderstood 9:34
6. Endless Sacrifice 11:23
7. Octavarium 24:00

9. The Best of Times 13:07
10. Breaking all Illusions 12:25

Total running time: 122:26  :P

Kotowboy

If people wanna be picky - they can include overall CD time to see how long their best of would add up to :)

Wonder if any of them will fit on one CD !

Not necessarily my favorite from each album, but this might actually fit on to a CD.

Edit... nope, 1.8 hours.  Oh well.  If it were really  my fave per disc, it would likely be each epic from the album.

Doing that would have required you to start and end with LTL, which you evidently did not do here.

I would've put Octavarium in place of TROAE, but I'd love a transition from the end of This Dying Soul to the beginning (just after the intro) of The Root of All Evil.

1:48:00

The chronological order is a little wonky; I'd probably order it like this across 2 CD's:

I. AWESOME SIDE (SORRY ABOUT PROPHETS OF WAR)
1. Strange Deja Vu
2. Prophets of War
3. Blind Faith
4. Voices
5. The Best of Times
6. Learning to Live
56:03

II. AWESOMER SIDE
1. Hell's Kitchen
2. Stream of Consciousness
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. Octavarium
51:57

But, then again, if we're idealizing things, Systematic Chaos wouldn't be represented at all.

Doing that would have required you to start and end with LTL, which you evidently did not do here.

He jokingly hinted at the similarities between LTL and BAI.
