ASACRIFICEDSON's Top 75 Dream Theater Songs

[ASacrificedSon]

Number 52: The Glass Prison
Day after day, Suite after suite, they keep coming down. The Glass Prison is in the middle. Portnoy's vocals unfortunately kill me in this song. I love the beginning instrumental and the whole solo from the middle to the end. I really wish I could rank it higher, I really so, but I just can't

Number 51: Pull Me Under
This song is just meh to me. I really do think this song is very overrated and it just doesn't click that much. The chorus is catchy and the instruments are nice, but other than that, it falls quite short. Still, it is ranked 51 on this list. And now, for the number 50.....

Number 50: Prophets of War
Oh yeh. This song is pretty amazing and just gets to me every single time. The riffing is crunchy and everyone is playing their best. The fan chanting is the only downside, but other than  that, I love it. Portnoy.....I love his speaking part and is top 3 for Portnoy's vocals.

Prophets of War:

It's still early, but this thread is already amazing.

I can't wait to see which of Prophets of War or Raw Dog will be at at number one. 

And the winner is raw dog

Portnoy's vocals unfortunately kill me in this song.

Yep, that's how it usually is for me in general with Portnoy vocals.
It has a great solo section, and the riff coming out of the slower intro rocks!
I also agree about Pull Me Under although you ranked it higher than a ton of other songs that I love. I think PMU is boring to be honest, and it's the only track on IW that I really do not enjoy.

I don't understand how you can have " This song is just meh to me." in the write-ups for a song that's in the top 50. Also how can something at 51 be "meh" and at 50 be "amazing". Like, if a song has made top 50 out of about 170 tracks DT has then it's gotta be pretty good.

How the heck is Prophets of War so high and above Glass Prison?? 

[Outcrier]

And above Pull me Under as well

Agreed. The rationale behind some of these choices are pretty inconsistent.
