I'll let you all figure out the logic on these groupings. :biggrin:

Pick your three favorite groupings.

I'll take B, C and E.  Not taking A was painful, since it has two of my top six DT songs, but A Fortune in Lies, while good, wouldn't break my top 50.

I chose A, B and K.

A.) I really like a Fortune in Lies and when it's coupled with Metropolis and Scarred, two of my favorite songs ever, it was an easy pick.

B.) I pretty much love all 3 songs on here as well.

K.) I mainly picked this because of Bridges and Learning to Live though Ytse Jam is a cool track as well.

There we go. I chose BEH. All stellar songs.

While I am sure it will get a few votes, I see G finishing a distant last in this.

Voted for F just for Octavarium, and didn't realize I could vote for 3 groups.  :facepalm:

D,E,F. B was very close too.

?

A, B and K. I noticed that the songs in group G are all songs that start in a ballady way and feature a complex instrumental section notably different from the rest of the song (for better or worse). However that wouldn't explain the rest of the groupings.

A - A Fortune in Lies, Metropolis & Scarred

A, D, K... but it was REALLY hard. A LOT of good combinations.

Damn that was so hard  :lol

The only one I was sure of was G (Endless Sacrifice, Sacrificed Sons & The Ministry of Lost Souls) - which is in last place  :'(  None of the 3 are in my top 10, but all are in my top 15.

I also chose 'F' and 'K'. 'B' just missed out. 'A' was quite close too. 'I' would almost certainly have got in my top 3 had it not included The Best of Times, but it dragged the other 2 brilliant songs down.
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Jaffa

B for sure.

I also went with E and F.

FYI, since no one ever figured out the logic behind these groupings, I'll explain it:

-I took three of the most popular songs from all 11 albums and listed them in order of occurrence on their CDs. 
-The first from each stayed in the grouping.
-The second from each moved up a grouping.  Song 2 from I&W moved up alongside Song 1 from WDADU, Song 2 from Awake moved up alongside Song 1 from I&W, etc.
-The third from each moved up two groupings.  Song 3 from I&W moved up into the grouping that started off with Song 1 from ADTOE, Song 3 from Awake moved up into the grouping that started off with Song 1 from WDADU.

And that's it.

You expected people to figure that out?  :lol

I'm cool with it as long as HE has it under control. :lol
