TPOF's Overly Wordy Top 50

[Elite]

Great choice. Love the beautiful WDADRU version as well as Marquee.

To your other point, it would be great to have some short prog songs on the new Dream Theater. It seems lately that anything shorter than 8 minutes is the ballad or metal number. Would love to see them pack some prog craziness into a 4 to 6 minute arrangement.

Like The Dance of Eternity?

No, not like the Dance of Eternity. Nothing should ever be like TDOE.

Great enjoyed this a lot. This is how a top 50 should be.

Agreed.  If you took your actual writeups, and just moved all the numbers around, it would certainly be a top 50 I'd be proud of.

Like The Dance of Eternity?

Not really. For one thing, TDOE is an instrumental. I'm talking about a song with vocals.

I feel like 6:00 and Under a Glass Moon achieve this, among others.

A WDADU song as a number one!

These Walls is chock full of prog craziness??? It's one of their more straightforward songs! I'm talking something like Metropolis or Take The Time condensed down to four and a half minutes. Would be a wild ride, no?
