Ranking JP Solos

[lovethedrake]

Not sure I have ever actually started a thread here, but thought it would be fun to try and rank the JP solos over his illustrious career while I am bored at work on a Friday..   Stick with DT, no side projects.   Go for your top 5 or top 10. 

This is also incredibly tough to do without giving them all a listen again so I may want to make some changes.

After doing this I know I am missing about 100 of them but these were the ones that came to mind as some of his best.  Also I left out TSCO and Innocence Faded when I first made the list and they are two of my favorites for sure so I put them at 1a. and 2.a

1. Under A Glass Moon
1a.  The Spirit Carries On

2. One Last Time
2a Innocence Faded

3. Voices

4. Good Night Kiss

5. A New Beginning

6. Behind the Veil

7. Trial of Tears

8. Take the Time

9. Fatal Tragedy

10. Solitary Shell

[Scorpion]

1. Lines in the Sand
2. A Change of Seasons - Another World
3. Trial of Tears
4. Voices
5. Behind the Veil
6. In the Name of God
7. Goodnight Kiss
8. The Best of Times
9. Breaking All Illusions
10. Lie

Great call with ACOS.... Im too lazy to keep changing my list but that definitely belongs on there.    This is incredibly tough to do. Its awesome how many insanely great JP solo's there have been.

I'm not even going to try and rank them but some of my favorites:

Breaking All Illusions
The Spirit Carries On
Lines in the Sand
The Best of Times
Under a Glass Moon
A Better Life
Goodnight Kiss
To Live Forever (from LIT)
Our New World
Solitary Shell
Hollow Years (from LAB)
Octavarium (if you can count the ending section as a solo)

[TheCountOfNYC]

01) The Best of Times
02) The Spirit Carries On (this and TBoT are interchangeable)
03) Under a Glass Moon
04) The Shattered Fortress (severely underrated)
05) Goodnight Kiss
06) Another Day
07) Octavarium: Razor's Edge
08) A New Beginning outro (it may be new, but it's amazing)
09) Beyond This Life
10) The Ministry of Lost Souls outro

[Architeuthis]

The Ministry of Lost Souls outro solo is too repetitive even with the key changes.
I agree with the rest of those solos you listed..
