Lolzeez's Top 50 Dream Theater Songs v. Numbah Won

[Scorpion]

Wow, totally didn't see that one coming.

Seriously, cool list. I enjoy your write-up style a fair bit, they're very random, but in a good way. Also, Beyond This Life rocks, it's been growing on me recently.

Hey, I didn't see that coming for real! I think it's the first time I see BITL that high!

For me, the song is outshined by the zappa jam, especially in the hyperextended 2004 version

[BlobVanDam]

Great choice for #1! I don't like the Budokan extended version much (I always skip the extended noodling), but otherwise I agree that it's an underrated track from SFAM, and one of my very favourites from it. One of their best instrumental sections ever.

[MoraWintersoul]

I'd take BTL over Home, and twice on Sundays.

I think I've said enough of BTL numerous times before already... Anyway, your writeups were random at times but that's why they were entertaining!

Me too.

You are the devil incarnate AND IT'S NO SURPRISE YOU DWELL IN AUSTRALIA.

This of course. Very much this.

[Unlegit]

Great song, very under appreciated in my opinion. Don't have it that quite high on my list, but you'll see.

[jsem]

From 7:11 and onwards, Beyond This Life is sheer genius. The main riff bores me though, which is sad because the song has such great moments.

[Onno]

Really cool song, interesting #1

[GasparXR]

I used to not like it that much, but it grew on me after I realized how awesome it is. There are a lot of different inspirations in it, I could compare it so a Haken song although that's a bit of a stretch.

[nicmos]

Agreed it is probably one of the most underrated DT songs.  excellent choice.  I just love when "Our deeds" kicks back in after the long instrumental section.

Great to see more than the same old songs at #1.  At least it wasn't ACOS.  (sorry, ACOS lovers.)

[DebraKadabra]

At least it wasn't ACOS.  (sorry, ACOS lovers.)

[Zydar]

Beyond This Life is a great song, not really a Top 10 for me but definitely Top 20. The Budokan version is cool as well.

And that chorus! "Aaaall that we've learned this tiiiime (What we have been is what we aaare)".

[Lolzeez]

At least it wasn't ACOS.  (sorry, ACOS lovers.)

[Rattlehead]

At least it wasn't ACOS.  (sorry, ACOS lovers.)

Beyond this Life would be the worst song on the album, had Through Her Eyes, Regression, Through My Words and The Dance of Eternity not existed.
How's that for your #1?

So this is a "ACOS is overrated" thread now?

[GasparXR]

Yes.

Well, maybe it is... but just a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny bit

Don't hurt yourself, that was never my intention.
