3. How many songs from 1985 to 1998 are in your top 10?

[wasteland]

Third and last dance!

Including all unreleased DT songs and almost songs, like JTHYS and MTHDDRIASS. And yes, even TOWHTSTS.

As for mysef: 6!

#1 Learning To Live
#2 Metropolis
#3 Trial Of Tears
#5 Scarred
#6 Eve
#8 Take The Time

[KevShmev]

8.

Take the Time
Metropolis
Learning to Live
Erotomania
Voices
Scarred
Lines in the Sand
Trial of Tears

A Change of Seasons, Space Dye Vest and Surrounded all just barely missed out.

[BlobVanDam]

As the inverse to my answer for the 1999-2009 thread, which was 6/7, 1989-1998 would be about 3/4 (nothing from after 2009 is close).

They'd be-
Take The Time (probably #3)
Trial of Tears
Lines in the Sand
and Hollow Years might just squeeze in there.

[krands85]

Four:

1. Learning to Live
2. Metropolis
6ish. Take the Time
9. A Change of Seasons

Trial of Tears, Under a Glass Moon, Lines in the Sand and maybe Voices all in my top 20.

Haha I did actually. I could've easily gone,  but I was a little mad that tickets were $14 more than last time, so I decided to boycott. Probably a bad decision. Plus the Phjlly show was apparently really good too. Oh well.

This would require me to actually compose a top 10 DT songs list. Something usually impossible for me.

But I know Metropolis, Learning to Live, Scarred, and A Change of Seasons are in there for sure. The rest is just hazy.

[Setlist Scotty]

This would require me to actually compose a top 10 DT songs list. Something usually impossible for me.

I just did it for these threads and I know what you mean by impossible. Top 20 maybe, but top 10 is pretty much impossible. Very difficult to weigh what's most important and cut the others. But I did the best I could and 5 from this era made the cut:
Light Fuse and Get Away
Learning to Live (absolute favorite DT song)
The Mirror
Space-Dye Vest
Lines in the Sand

[aprilethereal]

#2 Metropolis and #5 Space-Dye Vest. Maybe also Trial Of Tears, but probably not.

[Zantera]

4.

Under a Glass Moon, Metropolis, Voices, A Change of Seasons

[425]

Three, my 4, 5 and 6 songs.

4. Learning to Live
5. Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
6. Trial of Tears

[bl5150]

Four, my 4, 5 and 6 songs.

4. Learning to Live
5. Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
6. Trial of Tears

One spot for The Miracle and one for The Sleeper? 

[425]

Haha, good catch! Obviously there are three and I became confused somehow.

[erwinrafael]

Four for me.

#9  Caught in a Web
#8  Hell's Kitchen / Lines in the Sand
#6  The Mirror / Lie
#5  Lifting Shadows of a Dream

Metropolis Pt. 1 used to be #9, but Images and Words has just fallen off from my listening must-ahves the past two months. Album really really feels dated now whenever I listen to it, that the only reason I play the album is for nostalgia's sake.
