I tried to do another one, including all 13 studio albums, but there would have been just too many compromises and I've already had to cheat slightly to get it to 12! So Black Clouds has to miss out.
I've already spent too long thinking about this, so it's just in chronological order
1. A Fortune in Lies
2. Take the Time
3. The Mirror
4. Hell's Kitchen
5. Fatal Tragedy
6. War Inside my Head
7. In the Name of God
8. Panic Attack
9. Forsaken
10. On the Backs of Angels
11. The Enemy Inside
12. The Gift of Music
It's 30 seconds over 80 minutes, but the end of Panic Attack could be trimmed off and obviously I've counted In the Name of God as the epic! I could have got a bit more balance by adding a pure piano ballad in there somewhere, but I wanted to keep the 12 album thing and also that it was a collection of songs where I really liked all of them. That's quite tough when you tend to prefer the longer songs the band does.
