You could put Octavarium with my three least favorite Dream Theater songs, I'm still voting for it.

This one was almost impossible, but I went with

A Change of Seasons, Breaking All Illusions, Fatal Tragedy, Strange Deja Vu

It could have been 3, but it was kinda ruined by SD-V, so I went with 5

Quote from: Evermind on March 30, 2025, 10:35:41 AMI'm gonna send 1) stuff that's too heavy 2) stuff that's too proggy 3) singers that sound like Freddie Mercury. Hope that sounds good.

I feel the same way about "A Change of Seasons". Putting "Breaking All Illusions" with it is just the cherry on top.

Metropolis Part 1, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Scarred, Finally Free

That actually was a difficult choice.

Octavarium and Voices is possibly the single most enticing pair of songs in this series yet... but #3 has A Change of Seasons, and I'll take Fatal Tragedy and Strange Deja Vu over Pull Me Under and Take the Time any day.

This is particularly cruel and difficult for me 'cause my top 3 DT songs are Metropolis, A Change of Seasons and Voices and they're all scattered.

Octavarium + Voices is killer, and the two I&W songs are godlike even though a bit overplayed; Scarred and Finally Free is however another godlkike combo, even though I'm not crazy about Six Degrees.

Can't find a fault in the Change of Seasons group either.

In the end I picked Octavarium's group but I'll probably regret it  ;D

Definitely #5, despite The Count Of Tuscany being there.

Just looking at these groups makes me smile ;D  What a band  :hefdaddy

I went with the final group - it has my favourite song of all time (LTL) and 2 others from my DT top 10 (ITNOG and TCOT).

The second and third groups are incredible too, both have 2 of my top 10 and 2 other great songs each, so they're unlucky to lose out here!
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Is that what your signature is referring to? If so, that's fantastic.  :)

Learning To Live... That only enough for me to vote.

The grouping with Octavarium. No ragerts.
Look at all us freaks cluttering your city streets
Still scalping their ticket-less applause
Spun monkeys on the railroad track, take me to the caine field; I walk along pick my spiderbite

Group 1:  My #6, 52, 45 and 89 songs = 192

Group 2:  5, 20, 51, 23 = 99

Group 3:  1, 11, 10, 21 = 43

Group 4:  3, 4, 7, 26 = 40

Group 5:  2, 16, 8, 22 = 48

TAC

5 easily, though 3 is definitely second. Can't really even consider the other three choices.
Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

I chose the one with 11 songs in it, feels like cheating :biggrin:

Well, as impossible as this batch was, at least we can all bask in the awesomeness of DT's catalogue, if a group with Home, Trial of Tears, The Glass Prison and Under a Glass Moon arrives LAST.

I honestly was not expecting my choice to be the most popular! Surrounded is probably my top DT songs (and one of my favorite songs, period), and I love The Count of Tuscany (despite the fact that has definite good bits and bad bits). Throw in DT's original album-closing epic for the cherry on top.

But I didn't think that was going to be a popular choice. Shrug.

Learning To Live has made #1 DTF song twice in a row, so I don't think it was that surprising that that list won!
