[ori.elias5]

Pick just 1 song, no excuses, a song that is your ultimate Dream Theater song and will be there for your entire life.

I know theres bunch of them and its tough but you have to pick just 1.

I'll start: Breaking All Illusions.

Live in the moment, breathe in a new begining.. wow. plus the amazing guitar solo

The Count of Tuscany















Because I imagine sweaty neckbearded DT fans in their basement everytime they say "MAH BRUTHA".

[TheCountOfNYC]

People are gonna get tired of me talking about this song, but my answer is Octavarium.

[wasteland]

Learning To Live, Metropolis. Those two songs most of all (there are others as well, even from DT) will most likely stay with me forever.

[CharlesPL]

Ltl,Metro,ACOS,ToT,8V and Sdoit.

[Randaran]

Octavarium. Easily their best epic; none of the others come close. There are a few other songs that I like better, but if anyone asked me to name one song that shows DT at their best, I would direct them to this one.

[CrimsonSunrise]

ACOS... hands down, no question. 

[Dark Castle]

It's usually interchangeable between Under A Glass Moon, and The Mirror, but Illumination Theory is starting to get some consideration now as well, so I guess any of those three would be an answer from me.

[MirzekDT]

Well right now probably Surrender To Reason. Every second of this song is absolute perfection. Even the lyrics are really great and I can relate to them a lot. I liked it from the first listen but it grew on me much more over time. Simply flawless DT song for me.

[KevShmev]

Scarred.

[Polarbear]

A Change Of Seasons.

Nothing since then has come close to the perfection of that song, and i doubt ever will.

[ThatOneGuy2112]

Metropolis.

Pretty much one of the most perfect songs ever written.

[hefdaddy42]

A Change of Seasons

[Tom Bombadil]

Scarred.

This. And it's not even close.

[Zydar]

Learning To Live

[Lucien]

These Walls

[The Letter M]

I'm surprised no one has said "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence". Definitely my choice, although ACOS and 8VM come close.

-Marc.

[ReaPsTA]

Octavarium.  Maybe the deepest level of craft in any DT song.

[Xenon]

Voices.

[me7]

Don't have a single favourite, but I miss "Blind Faith" among the mentioned highlight songs.

[TheAtliator]

Octavarium

[DreamerTV]

Another Hand - The Killing Hand

[BlobVanDam]

I'm surprised no one has said "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence". Definitely my choice, although ACOS and 8VM come close.

-Marc.

That's definitely my choice. Great variety, showcases their melodic, metal and prog sides perfectly.

[mike099]

Tough choice, but for me Trial of Tears.  Great progressive  song!

[bl5150]

Metropolis.

Pretty much one of the most perfect songs ever written.

[XB0BX]

Constant Motion.

[Rodni Demental]

Err.. God damn, I can't really do it with complete certainty, it's too hard  . But in this exact moment right now.. um... A Mind Beside Itself? It's got a bit of everything, and it's pretty epic as a whole.

If that's considered cheating then fine.. I pick Voices. - It's a very subtle and yet dynamic piece with lots of build up, great vocal delivery, weird mysterious lyrics, and one of the best guitar solos ever. Any DT song that can hold my interest for as long as this one would have to be a stellar track.

[haceeb]

It's one and only: Illumination Theory.

[yeah_93]

Learning to Live.

[YtseJamittaja]

Octavarium because of it's perfection and NUGGETZZZZZ!!!

[aprilethereal]

Octavarium.

[Tomislav95]

A Change of Seasons

[Riitasointi]

Octavarium for sure
