HI WELCOME

[Nick]

Yeahhhhhh, we don't really do this here. There's an official thread for top 50 lists.

Not the case in this instance, he's not making a typical rundown, just quickly listing off his list as an introduction, quite alright.

Welcome.

[theseoafs]

You may be a mod, Nick, but that doesn't mean you can attribute false quotes to me.

Anyway, Beyond This Life, huh? Interesting choice.

[Nick]

Well played.

[Mind Trail]

Interesting list, especially number 13, 3 and 1. Welcome 

[Mladen]

Beyond this life is a great choice for #1, truly a mindblowing track that's in my top 10 as well. And welcome to DTF. 

[Elite]

Interesting list, especially number 13, 3 and 1. Welcome 

What's so weird about #13? A lot of people really like Under a Glass Moon..

I find The Dance of Eternity at #8 a lot more concerning lol
Also, what the hell is that at #36?

Oh, and welcome.

Wait for Sleep. Played at the same time as Raise the Knife.

Played at the same time as The Wizard of Oz.

[Dublagent66]

How can The Greatest Hit be #49?     Oh well.....it's your list.  Welcome to the forums.

They both tied for the 36th spot?  Looks like the same thing happened for the 34th spot.

A couple years ago, I introduced my dad to the world of digital music: mp3s, iTunes, and iPods. His first question about the iPod: "How many songs can you play at once?"

Well, not a bad song at all and I enjoy it, but.... Yeah maybe I'd place it at number 31 or something, I dunno. Maybe a tie with The Great Debate!

That's not a popular opinion around here, but I agree.

Well...Dance of Eternity is my most played song on iTunes. Yea...

I like  . A good list.

Status Seeker is my top 20 song. And I'm not ashamed.

[Cable]

What the hell is wrong with #18 ITPOE? Sure, it may not be their shining moment. And it may not be the top 20minute+'er. But the song has an intensity that goes throughout the entire song, which is a feat for more than 20 minutes. It reminds me of listening to my AA suite mashup- very heavy and intense for a long time.

[lithium112]

Welcome to the forums! Interesting list - don't think I've ever seen BTL at #1 before. You should put your name down in the Official Top 50 thread - I'd like to hear your take on some of these song placements. Digging most of your Top 10 though!!

[SystematicThought]

No offense intended but as a whole, The AA Suite is a snooze-fest. Live it'd be good good but sitting down and listening to it would not be high on my list of things to do

I disagree - I love listening to the saga all the way through. And TSF makes a lot more sense when it is immediately preceded by the other 4.

[SystematicThought]

I suppose I should have put in my opinion at the end of my post as I made it sound like The AA Suite being a snooze-fest was a fact.

Anyways, I just feel like Repentence kind of brings it down a bit too much

I didn't take any offense to it, we all have our views.  I will disagree about Repentance...without it, the song would play like Meshuggah or death metal album...no real let up.

I have always liked TSF minus the other four. But yeah, it does fit better as a part. Actually, i like the transition to TSF in my combined version the best out of the others. I spliced in the immediate full volume of the instrumental TSF (vocal one fades in), and that riff hits so hard after the end of Repentance.
