It's finally my turn, so here's my top 30 Dream Theater songs!
First off, I'd like to note that I have not listened to WDADU and some of FII. Also, there are songs from 6DOIT, ADTOE, and SFAM that I haven't ranked because I haven't listened to them enough yet. So if a great song you like isn't on this list and you're wondering why, that may be why.
Okay, let's start.
30. Lines In The Sand (Falling Into Infinity)
When my friend told me how bad this song was, I had to take a listen. I was confused at why he thought it was so horrible. It's freaking awesome! Lines In The Sand is a really groovy song. I love the break starting at around five and a half minutes. The only thing I don't care for is in the chorus when JLB goes "LINES IN THE SANNNNNNNNND!!". The note just doesn't seem to go with the song. Other then that, great song.
29. The Silent Man (Awake)
A short Dream Theater song (by their standards), but nevertheless a great acoustic song. The short guitar solo is awesome, and whoever does the backup vocals does a great job. I also love JLB's main vocals. A fabulous ending to A Mind Beside Itself.
28. I Walk Beside You (Octavarium)
I used to love this song a lot more. I still do love it, though. I don't understand why, cause it's a very simple song. I can't really pinpoint what I like about it, but I like it. Uh, yeah...
One more thing. I will assure you that the #1 song will surprise you. ;]
-
Nice start to your list. Lines in the sand is awesome and the silent man is an excellent ballad. I used to love I Walk Beside You but it hasn't aged very well for me. I'll def. be following this one.
-
Surprise number one? Cool!
LITS is among my favourites, TSM is good, but I don't care about IWBY.
-
Lines in the Sand is one of my favourite DT songs ever. That guitar solo is a thing of beauty, and that groove... :hefdaddy
-
I'm not overly familiar with Lines In The Sand, nor am I a big fan of I Walk Beside You, but I do agree with your ranking of The Silent Man.
-
I'm not overly familiar with Lines In The Sand, nor am I a big fan of I Walk Beside You, but I do agree with your ranking of The Silent Man.
Listen to Lines in the Sand - You will love it. Also, Trial of Tears is Great. Some great songs off of FII.
-
Lines in the Sand has a great bass. I Walk Beside You is rather awesome, though one of the cheesier songs DT has yet written. I'm not that familiar with The Silent Man, but from what I remember it's 'a silent genius'.
-
I love Lines In The Sand, it really is a great song. I feel as if it's a bit overlooked. I personally prefer it to Trial of Tears. What a groovy song.
The Silent Man is great too, and though I wouldn't put I Walk Beside You all that high, it isn't bad. I really like the bridge though, the harmonies and keyboard strings (?) are amazing together.
-
LITS - wah pedal - amazing.
-
Love LITS, it's a great song. TSM has really aged well for me, and it's fantastic and simplistic. IWBS is a fun song, but somewhat cheesy and a little out of style for DT. Will be following your list to se how it turns out :tup
-
Okay, so I'm on vacation right now, so I will have limited internet access. Here's the next 3.
27. Metropolis Part I (Images And Words)
This was probably expected to be higher. It's an awesome song, and as much as I'd like to raise it, I can't. The instrumental section is cool, especially the bass solo. I can't say anything bad about any part in this song.
26. Hell's Kitchen (Falling Into Infinity)
Another FII song. This song was a lot higher on my list, mainly cause of the first 1-2 minutes. One of the greatest Dream Theater solos. It's just so epic! The rest isn't bad, but it doesn't get as good as the opening guitar solo. A good DT instrumental, but then again, I don't think I've heard a bad one.
25. Fatal Tragedy (Scenes From A Memory)
I'm going to be honest, I don't remember this one. I listened to this and ranked it a while ago, then haven't listened to it again. When I'm back from vacation with good Wi-Fi, I'll listen again and make a description.
-
I updated my last post with descriptions.
-
I'm not a big Metropolis fan (compared to most). I think its a good song but I really don't like the instrumental section. Hell's Kitchen rules. Probably my favorite DT instrumental. Fatal Tragedy starts off really good, but again the instrumental section ruins it for me.
-
Fatal Tragedy starts off really good, but again the instrumental section ruins it for me.
Finally someone I can agree with on FT :tup.

I would hope so. Fatal Tragedy's instrumental section is one of my favourite parts of the entire album. :lol It's killer!

We have very different tastes it seems, Blob. :P
-
I think it's time for another three songs.
24. Breaking All Illusions (A Dramatic Turn Of Events)
Of the ones I remember, this is my favorite song off ADTOE. I feel like a lot of the songs off ADTOE have a similar sound, especially in the choruses. While this song also has a chorus similar to other ADTOE songs, there is much more to it. There is a really nice guitar solo, that starts out quiet and builds up. Probably my favorite part. The ending is also really good too. IMO, Breaking All Illusions is one of the songs that saves ADTOE from being a mediocre album.
23. In The Name Of God (Train Of Thought)
Now we're starting to get into DT's masterpieces. While not my favorite song on TOT, ITNOG is a great song. This may surprise you, but my favorite part is the fast Flight Of The Bumblebee part. It just sounds really cool, especially with the awesome bass line. The verses are great as well. And of course, the last chorus is cool. A good ending to TOT.
22. Another Day (Images And Words)
Just like Hell's Kitchen, this song was a lot higher on my list. I think I listened to it too much, though. The sax in this song is amazing. I get chills at the first sax solo, because it's so awesome. The rest of the song is beautiful too. Even though I lowered this song, it's still amazing.
-
3 great songs right there. :metal
-
Breaking All Illusions is fantastic, and Another Day is one of my favorite DT tracks. I'm not crazy about In The Name Of God.
-
Breaking All Illusions! :metal
ITNOG! :metal
Another Day! :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal
Nice to see Breaking All Illusions though, it's my favorite from ADTOE.
-
Breaking All Illusions should be higher IMO.
-
:bump:
-
Sorry for lack of updates.
21. 6:00 (Awake)
6:00 is a really rockin' song. I really like the chorus and guitar solo of this song, but of course, the whole song is great. James LaBrie's vocal performance on 6:00 is really good as well. Oh, and the drums are great too. IMO, the best first song on a DT album.
20. Stream Of Consciousness (Train Of Thought)
I think this might have been the first DT instrumental I'd ever listened to. When I first heard it, I honestly thought it should've ended TOT. I still think that, even though an instrumental would be a weird ending. But hey, Metallica did it. Anyways, this song is great because it doesn't stay in one place for long. One minute you've got a fast guitar solo, then you get a groovy bass line another minute. Speaking of solos, the guitar solo/keyboard solo around 3:50 is one of my favorite DT moments. It's just so full of energy, if you know what I mean. But yeah, a great instrumental.
19. Overture 1928 (Scenes From A Memory)
Oh look, another instrumental! If it wasn't for Regression, I'd say this is the best first song on a DT album. (Not that Regression sucks...) This song is full of energy. Just like Stream Of Consciousness, it doesn't stay in one place for too long. A great overture for SFAM.
-
Love 6:00 and Overture 1928. Both excellent songs. SoC is pretty good too. :tup
-
Not much activity in here. =/ Whatever, here's the next 3.
18. The Dance Of Eternity (Scenes From A Memory)
Third instrumental in a row. I assure you, this is the last consecutive one. Anyways, this song doesn't stay in one spot for too long. I know I've said it for the last two songs, but if it applied to just one, it's this one. My favorite part is easily the ragtime section. It's just so different from anything DT's ever done, which makes it special, I guess. My second favorite DT instrumental.
17. Through Her Eyes (Scenes From A Memory)
I promise you, last consecutive song for SFAM. This is a really nice ballad. I really like the bass in this, mainly the sliding notes. It sounds really nice. Also, the intro is beautiful. I can't think of what else to say about this song, so I guess that's all.
16. Erotomania (Awake)
My favorite DT instrumental, which means no more instrumentals on this list! Woohoo! There are just so many awesome moments in this song. 3:03 - 3:42 might be my favorite. The guitar solo is short but it's amazing. 5:07 - 5:28 is also great. Again the guitar shines, but at the end of the section the drums are pretty cool. Well, there you go, my top DT instrumental.
-
Wow man, you've got some interesting choices. Cool to see both Through Her Eyes and Erotomania so high :tup
-
Erotomania :tup . Great piece, so many cool moments, a rare song that manages to run in a hundred different directions and still feel cohesive.
TDOE has some great parts, but to me, it starts to fall apart as a cohesive piece of music after the ragtime solo.
-
17. Through Her Eyes (Scenes From A Memory)
I promise you, last consecutive song for SFAM. This is a really nice ballad. I really like the bass in this, mainly the sliding notes. It sounds really nice. Also, the intro is beautiful. I can't think of what else to say about this song, so I guess that's all.
So underrated. :metal

This. And since I missed the last update, I have to say it warms my heart to see 6:00 so high :heart
-
21. 6:00 (Awake)
6:00 is a really rockin' song. I really like the chorus and guitar solo of this song, but of course, the whole song is great. James LaBrie's vocal performance on 6:00 is really good as well. Oh, and the drums are great too. IMO, the best first song on a DT album.
So true. Awake starts with a bang! Great lyrics, too... :metal
-
15. Vacant (Train Of Thought)
This might be a surprise to some of you. But this is a really beautiful song. Every instrument in this song sounds amazing. There's not much to say about this song, other then that it's beautiful. So I'll keep it at that.
14. The Spirit Carries On (Scenes From A Memory)
This song is great! I love the chord progression in this that is used throughout SFAM. It just never gets old. But anyways, JLB's vocals really stand out here. Maybe his best vocal performance not from IAW or Awake? I dunno, but it's pretty good. The only thing I don't like is that Portnoy seems to put a million drum fills in this. It'd be fine for a more metal song, but this is a ballad. Luckily that issue doesn't screw up the song. Also, nice guitar in this song!
13. Learning To Live (Images And Words)
Now we're starting to get into Dream Theater's masterpieces. This song is just pure awesome. The outro is probably my favorite part, but I like the whole song of course. A pretty good ending for IAW!
-
Great choices (although I'm not so big on LTL, but that's just me).
TSCO and Vacant are both easily among my favourites from each album, and it's great to see some love for the much underrated Vacant. :tup I really can't add anything to your description.
-
Three nice picks :tup.
-
Definitely like seeing TSCO and Vacant so high up! :tup
-
Three great songs, but Vacant and LTL stand out for me. I think I've heard TSCO too many times.
-
Next update!
12. The Count Of Tuscany (Black Clouds And Silver Linings)
I hate to say it, but BCASL was "A Nightmare To Remember". Easily my least favorite album. This song saves it from being a bad album. My favorite part is the outro, but the Octavarium intro-esque part right before it is really cool too. And the verses at the beginning are really rockin'. The only somewhat weak part in this 19 minute song is the crazy part with all the time signature changes before the Octavarium part. But even that part isn't bad. A great song on a decent album.
11. Trial Of Tears (Falling Into Infinity)
What an amazing song. The first minute is a really nice and calming intro. However, once that is over, it really starts! This whole song has no weak points IMO. But from 6:30 to the end is my favorite part. It's hard to pick a smaller favorite part, because it's just so awesome! Anyways, a guitar solo starts at 6:30, and it slowly builds up. As well as getting louder, the key keeps getting higher. At 8:10, the solo stops for 20 seconds with an awesome bass part. Around 15 seconds later, a keyboard solo breaks out. The keyboard solos for a bit, then at 9:10, it builds up some more! Just when you think it can't build up anymore, you hear two awesome notes closing the solo. It's only two notes, but ma, do they have an effect on you! From there is the acoustic part, which is just as awesome. I'd describe it as well, but I don't want to bore you anymore. Get prepared for long descriptions, because the more awesome the song, the longer the description. ;]
10. Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence)
Here it is, DT's longest song (That is, if you consider it one song). But I do. Anyways, the overture is nice, but when the second movement starts is when the song really gets awesome! My favorite part in About To Crash is the reaaaaally slow part with the guitar solo. Then comes War Inside My Head, my second favorite movement of SDOIT despite the length. War Inside My Head starts to get more metal. When The Test That Stumped Them All comes in, then it starts to get REALLY metal. Then when you can't think it can't get anymore metal, it comes to a halting stop and Goodnight Kiss starts. Goodnight Kiss is a beautiful ballad with a nice guitar solo. Near the end of the solo, you hear the bass drum thumping, starting Solitary Shell, my favorite movement in SDOIT. It's not metal at all, but it's not a ballad at all either. It sits right in the middle of soft and loud, and it's really awesome. After that is a reprise of About To Crash, and then is the final movement. It's a really nice ending, but I think it could've been better. Either way, it's still great. The second best song off SDOIT.
-
Three pretty good choices. I don't like TCOT quite as much as you do and like ToT and SDOIT a little more than you (both of course by comparison to the rest of DT's discography), but still, three excellent top 20 choices!
-
and like ToT and SDOIT a little more than you
Train of Thought is my favorite DT album.
-
I was referring to the song Trial of Tears, not the album Train of Thought, which you do clearly like more than me, since it is nowhere near my favorite DT album (also, I was referring to the song SDOIT and not the album SDOIT).

Oh lol. That makes more sense. Honestly, if I hadn't already posted it, I'd probably make it higher now.
-
Three great songs.
-
11. Trial Of Tears (Falling Into Infinity)
IMHO, this is Sherinian's best moment on DT.
-
11. Trial Of Tears (Falling Into Infinity)

I agree completely.
Okay, time for three more songs. Two of them are of SC, and ALL of them will probably surprise you.
9. The Ministry Of Lost Souls (Systematic Chaos)
Surprise number one! I actually really like SC. As far as I know, the hate of this song seems to go on the instrumental section. It's very random, but I don't mind. The instrumental section is awesome IMO. Then, of course, the ending guitar solo is brilliant. A really nice song.
8. Endless Sacrifice (Train Of Thought)
Surprise number two! This one is probably the least surprising, but surprise number three will be VERY surprising. Anyways, I freaking love this song. My favorite part is the random orchestral section near the beginning of the long solo. It comes out of nowhere and sounds awesome! The whole solo is really nice, though. Even though it's long, I don't find it boring one bit. My favorite song off TOT.
7. Prophets Of War (Systematic Chaos)
:omg: Did he really just put Prophets Of War in his top 10? you're probably thinking. I did; this is surprise number three. I really don't understand all the hate for this song. The riff between the first and second verse is one of my favorite DT riffs. Then the second verse is where it gets freakin' awesome. And then there's the quiet vocal/acoustic guitar break somewhat near the end. This is a really awesome song, IMO.
I hope I surprised you.
-
Wow. Surprised is an understatement there. Definitely didn't see Prophets of War coming. I like the surprises thoug. Very interested to see what comes next.
-
Ministry is great. I would put it close to that high but not that high.
Endless Sacrifice is another very good song that is easily top 30 but not top 10 IMO.
An-- hey, what is this? Yeah, Prophets isn't one I'd think to be in a top 10. It's nowhere near that for me, but it's by no means a bad song, so it's nice to see it get some love and fun to be surprised by its place on your list!
-

I'll just quote this, so I don't need to type my own reply. I agree! :lol
-
Ministry is great. I would put it close to that high but not that high.
I've been building my Top 50 and every time I listen to that song again, it creeps higher up my list. I wouldn't put it quite this high either but it's cracked my top 20.
-
Prophets of War :tup deserves to be this high in a list. The song has a good political message, entertaining word play, and the Queen callbacks are highly amusing.
Ministry of Lost Souls :tdwn should be nowhere near a top 50 list. One of the most bloated songs in the band's catalog. There might be a good song in there if they cut it to about 4m.
-
Wow, tell us how you really feel! :P
-
I'm not a fan of POW and TMOLS, and I wouldn't rank ES nearly that high, but things like these make lists interesting.
-
I love Prophets of War :metal :heart.
-
I don't understand the hate PoW gets either. To me it's a little lackluster in the album as a whole but it has a nice riff, and I like the Queen-esque vocals. TMOLS is great, nice to see it this high :metal As for Endless Sacrifice, that one never caught on much for me. It would probably be near the bottom of my top 50 to be honest, but it's a good song. It rocks live :o

We have like completely opposite views haha. I really dislike POW. I think TMOLS is pretty good except I can't stand the instrumental section. And I think Endless Sacrifice is at least a top 20. Interesting how people who like the same band can have such different opinions. Just shows how good DT is. :metal
-
Time for 6, 5, and 4! BTW, I won't do 1, 2, and 3 altogether.
6. A Change Of Seasons (A Change Of Seasons)
The title track off DT's first EP. And DAMN is it good! ACOS tells an awesome tale of a man's life. ACOS also has the most epic DT section IMO. That section is the movement "Another World". Not only is it epic, it has one of the greatest DT solos. I really like the instrumentals in this song as well. Heck, almost every part of this 23 minute song is good! I'd love to raise this song, but the next 5 songs are just masterpieces.
5. You Not Me (Falling Into Infinity)
IT'S ALL ABOUT YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW NOT MEEEEEEE!
5. In The Presence Of Enemies (Systematic Chaos)
Ignore the above. I was thinking about putting that there and see how many people believed it. Anyways, ITPOE is the first of the top 5. From what I've seen on the forum, Pt. 1 and Heretic have been praised. I praise the whole thing. Heretic might be my favorite part, but I love the whole thing. The story is pretty cool too. And dat guitar throughout a lot of the song. The highlight of SC for me, after Prophets Of War.
4. Space Dye Vest (Awake)
I think this song peaked at about #2 before. Regardless, it's fucking amazing. The lyrics are some of the best DT has written, if not the best. It's also a beautiful song. The ending has made me cry before. I can't think of much to say about this song, other then it's really beautiful. It sucks that Kevin Moore left, because he wrote some great songs (like this). But, I won't get into that.
-
4. Space Dye Vest (Awake)
:tup
-
Amazing choices! :tup I think Heretic is probably the best part of ITPOE. And Space Dye Vest is fast climbing my list too. And obvious love for ACOS.
-
SDV at #4!! :hefdaddy :tup :metal
-
ACOS and SDV are solid choices. ACOS was a song I initially fell in love with, then out of love with because I had an affair with the hotter and more mature Octavarium, but I've recently heard ACOS again and am falling back in love with it. It probably deserves this high. And SDV I've always loved and definitely deserves this. /marriageanalogy
ITPOE is a solid choice, I'd put it high but not quite this high.
YNM is a brilliant choice. I like the part where James tells us that he's been gay every single day.
-
Nice to see someone ranking ITPOE up high! Great song, the most underrated of the DT epics. I don't rank it quite that high, but it's a very strong piece.
-
These choices please me.
-
Gonna post 3 and 2 today, cause I'm bored.
3. Finally Free (Scenes From A Memory)
Here's number three. This song is fucking brilliant! So many amazing parts in it, such as the chorus, the "Feeling good this Friday afternoon" part, and of course the One Last Time part. I can't even describe how good this song is, so screw it. A perfect ending for SFAM.
2. Octavarium (Octavarium)
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN! Octavarium isn't number one. Well, then again I said number one would be a surprise, and Octavarium wouldn't be very surprising, would it? Anyways, I can't find one part of this 24 minute song that is bad. The Pink Floyd-esque intro is so beautiful and amazing; a great start to this epic. Then, after a brief loud part, you have the pretty 12-string guitar part. Movement two starts off with some awesome bass and drums. Then the keys and vocals come in to tell the story of a man who has awoken after being in a coma for 30 years. At the end ofmovement two, you have a really cool keyboard solo that leads into movement three. In movement three there are many references to other songs ("Lucy in the sky with diamonds", "my supper's ready"). After the vocals finish, you have a really proggy solo. I can't list all the cool parts in the solo, so I'll move on to movement four. Movement four starts to build up slowly and dramatically. Nearing the end, you hear LaBrie screaming "TRAPPED INSIDE THE OCTAVARIUM!". At the last time he says that I get chills down my spine, and movement five starts. Prepare yourself for one of DT's most epic moments. Razor's Edge starts off with some vocals, but it's when you hear the guitar solo that your mind is blown. When you hear that last guitar note you know this song is epic. It ends the same way The Root Of All Evil starts, with a piano note. It was very hard to put this song at number two, but I had too, because number one is a true masterpiece.
Any guesses for number one?
-
Beyond This Life? F*cking Home?
Take The Time? Pull Me Under?
The Glass Prison?
-
A good choice and a great choice, respectively.
I'll go with my stock controversial choice guess and say Sacrificed Sons.
-
None of your guesses were right. So, here's number 1!
1. Disappear (Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence)
My favorite DT song is Disappear. It may even be the best song ever, I dunno. Either way, this song is really sad and emotional. It just brings up so many emotions when you listen to it. The plot of the lyrics is very simple; a relationship where one of the people is dying. However, JLB nails the lyrics on this one. The lyrics are one of the best parts of the song IMO, and I rarely listen to the lyrics of songs carefully. No guitar solos, this song is just too good by itself. My favorite part of the song is near the end, at "So I'm moving on". This part contains the couple's last words to each other. It's one of the most beautiful parts in ANY song. IMO, even though it would've been weird, Disappear should've ended SDOIT. It's just a really amazing song.
-
:omg:
-
i knew it
Seriously though, I never saw that coming. Good choice. :tup
-
Amazing song, and TOTALLY deserving of that spot. Great list!
-
Nice pick! Disappear is an incredible song. Nice to see some love for it.
-
Great songs!! Truly great to see FF so high, I LOVE that track too! Octavarium is my personal #1 and Disappear is probably my favourite DT ballad, amazing song. Great list man!
-
Interesting pick. I wouldn't have made it myself, but it is a very good (and unfortunately often overlooked, including by myself, because of that massive album) song.
-
AWESOME pick for numba 1. Disappear is one of my all time faves.
-
Amazing song, and TOTALLY deserving of that spot. Great list!
This. :hefdaddy
-
:clap:
Excellent top 3. I always agree with the oddball picks like this more than the obvious ones. :lol
-
Picks 6-3 are amazing :metal.
Octavarium? Eugh.
Disappear is very good, it's growing on me every time I listen to it.
-
Octavarium? Eugh.
death cometh
-
Octavarium? Eugh.
:hifive:
-
Octavarium? Eugh.

You two are truly evil. Exorcise yourselves!

IMO, even though it would've been weird, Disappear should've ended SDOIT. It's just a really amazing song.
:clap:
Seriously, we share the same feelings about the song. It's beautiful and it should have ended SDOIT.
High five for Disappear!

Would I need to get approval to do a bottom 10 DT song list?
-
If you plan on posting all 10 at once, feel free to do it in this thread. If you're going to post them little by little with write ups and discussion, then yes, sign up and wait your turn. fortunately, the waiting list is short right now.

Eh, I'll just post all ten. *prepares for hatred*
10. The Looking Glass
9. The Killing Hand
8. Under A Glass Moon
7. The Shattered Fortress
6. Only A Matter Of Time
5. A Rite Of Passage
4. Surrender To Reason
3. Surrounded
I don't really hate any of these tracks above. They're just kinda boring. Surrounded is no exception. I don't know why this one is boring, since it is usually liked. But it just doesn't do it for me.
2. Light Fuse And Get Away
Ugh. This song and #1 I can actually say I hate. The lyrics in the first verse seem really whiny, and just make me want to stop listening. But if I get past it, I hear the super random and stupid chorus. The beat is just completely different. "Can you tell me why things had to change so suddenly?"
1. Scarred
Yup. Scarred is my least favorite DT song. It's just a really boring song for the most part, and the chorus sounds like crap IMO. I don't see why this song is liked so much. I don't even find the outro any good.

O_O

I can agree with half of those being bottom 10 songs, but some of your choices are just shocking. :eek
-
The Looking Glass is eh but not bottom 10. TKH I dunno probably not. UAGM is GOOD screw you :T
The Shattered Fortress is alright, it's interesting as a series of reprises but not as a song. OAMAT and AROP I have on my bottom 10 as well so okay alright. Surrender to Reason is definitely not bottom 10. Surrounded is awesome. LFAGA is okay for bottom 10 as well.
Scarred as the worst song is a very no though :tdwn
tl;dr I hate this bottom 10 but ehh your picks.
-
I can understand some choices, even the DT12 ones that are in my top50, well, Scarred I can understand too (though not as the worst song), but Surrounded? Ugh.

Terrible opinions.

And thank god I'm not the only one who dislikes Scarred...
-
I'm not really a big fan of Scarred either. I mean, it's a pretty good track, but it really surprised me to find out that for a lot of people it's one of their best.

Same. When I got Awake, I expected a lot more out of Scarred. Although, looking at the list, I might switch it with Light Fuse And Get Away, since I think I hate that one more then Scarred.
-
None of the songs in your top 10 worst except for Light Fuse belong there. Seeing STR, Scarred and TSF there actually makes me sad.
It's your list though :tup
-
Eh, I'll just post all ten. *prepares for hatred*
3. Surrounded
1. Scarred
Today is opposite day?

I am Light Pirate 1.0!

So I thought you guys would find it interesing to see my new top 10 DT songs. Because my new top 10 DT songs are very different now.
10. A Change Of Seasons (ACOS) - This one fell a bit, only to make room for some new songs that I think are even more awesome.
9. In The Presence Of Enemies (SC) - Same as above. Still a great song.
8. Lifting Shadows Off A Dream (Awake) - When I made this thread, this song just BARELY missed the top 30. I've listened to it more, and now I just find it amazing. "And she listens OPENLYYYYYYYYYYY" is friggin' great.
7. Finally Free (SFAM) - Same as ITPOE and ACOS.
6. The Great Debate (6DOIT) - Before I made this thread, I only listened to this song a few times, and it didn't do it for me. But two days ago I saw somebody put this at #2 on their list, so I decided to listen to this. Holy crap, this is epic! The last "turn to the light" part is one of the most epic parts in a DT song. This will probably make the top 5 in a few days.
5. Space Dye Vest (Awake) - Moved down one. Finally Free and this one were moved out of the top 4, and they were replaced by these two songs:
4. Prophets Of War (SC) - Yeah. I'm sorry, but this song is just awesome. I can't understand all the hate for it to be completely honest. The second verse and the last chorus are truly spectacular.
3. About To Crash (6DOIT) - This probably will be the most surprisinging to all of you. About To Crash above SDV, ITPOE, ACOS, and FF? Yup. This song is THAT good to me. The whole thing is just stunning, but the super slow guitar solo is probably the most epic DT section I've ever heard. About To Crash is fuckign amazing.
2. Octavarium (8VM) - Hasn't changed. Still a killer song.
1. Disappear (6DOIT) - Also hasn't changed. Also still a killer song.
-
The last "Turn to the light" part in TGD is probably the worst part to me because it feels unnecessary and the lyrical section before it was a much better ending to the lyrical portions of the song
PoW is just meh because 1. Muse 2. MP vox aren't very good here
mostly because Muse though
