Time for a different kind of poll!

We've had favorite album and top 3 polls before, but this time you're supposed to vote for the trio of subsequent DT albums you like the most, which should be more challenging. I may update this poll after the new album has been released, although I don't think it'll change the results that much.

My vote goes to the first 3 albums - Awake and I&W are my favorite DT records and I also love WD&DU much more than the average DT fan.

I actually enjoy the Scenes through ToT run.

FII/SFAM/SDOIT, and that's not even a contest for me. My #4/#2/#1 respectively. :tup :tup

Must be FII/SFAM/6DOIT. SFAM/6DOIT/TOT a good number two.

Lolzeez

Scratch that. I'm changing my vote to SFAM/SDOIT/TOT just because of the TOT tour.

wasteland

But the TOT tour was not featured in any album  :biggrin:

I can't have my top 3 albums in my top three run :p

I'm torn between SFAM - 6DOIT - TOT

and

6DOIT - TOT- 8V

Because that is a hell of a run of albums.  A decade of great material right there.

This is tough. All of the runs have at least 1 album that lets the side down a bit. I'm torn between Images/Awake/FII and TOT/8V/SC. I'll have to have a long think about it ;D
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

WDADU/I&W/Awake

Images and Awake are the two best albums, and WDADU is better than FII by a hair.

It's harder than voting for the most favorite album. Is there any vote system to choose several choices respectively? my favorite albums are sepertated from one anoter. 6doit, octavarium, adtoe.

This was the option I went for. It was either this or IAW/Awake/FII. But in the end, my love for SFAM and SDOIT slightly outweights my love for IAW and Awake.

I&W/Awake/FII. FII/SFAM/SDOIT would be pretty cool as well, but I've always liked SFAM considerably less than the average DT fan.

TheGreatPretender

Yeah, I'll have to go with the most popular option here, the SFAM - ToT run, but a close second would be the ToT - SC run. Anything else has at least one album that's near the bottom for me.

Yeah this.

SFAM is kinda bottom tier DT to me. Not bad, just not that exciting to me.

Cool Chris

This is hard. FII brings down way too many options. SFaM/SDoiT/ToT I guess, based on that was when I really got in to the band, and saw them live for the first time (ToT tour)
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

Easily SFAM/6DOIT/TOT. The first two ones are masterpieces, and Train of Thought rocks hard as well.  :metal

The Presence of Frenemies

Basically tied between the run that TOT starts and the one that it ends.

Mindflux

SFAM/6DOIT/TOT, though I'd gladly pretend TOT didn't exist to call the trio SFAM/6DOIT/8VM.

or.. SFAM/8VM/SC.. I'd like that trio too.

:rollin

LieLowTheWantedMan

Tough choice, Awake and SFaM are my two favourite DT albums, but FII is my least favourite. Not sure what to choose. :lol

JayOctavarium

TOT/8VRM/SC


WDADU/IW/Awake and SC / BCSL / ADTOE are close... Because I love Images and Awake and I love SC and A Dramatic Turn but Dream and Day and Black Clouds aren't as great

?

I thought I&W/Awake/FII would get more votes... Anyway, the results of this poll are as interesting as I expected - a lot of the options include at least one less popular album, which is why there isn't really an obvious #1 that everyone would choose, although SFAM/6DOIT/TOT is clearly in the lead.
