Studio version is better, unless you're there at the gig, in which case you're in for something special

Avenged Sevenfold - Sidewinder

The fact that someone picked Avenged Sevenfold doesn't really surprise me, but the fact that someone picked Sidewinder kinda does. I thought I was the only one in love with that song.

Anyway, as for me, my favorite song kinda varies depending on my mood. Could be anything from Metallica's Of Wolf and Man to Nirvana's All Apologies to Eve 6's Inside Out to Iron Maiden's Powerslave to Rush's 2112... well, you get the idea. But at this particular moment, gun to my head, I think I'd say...

Ænema, by Tool.

Post by: Ħ on October 20, 2011, 12:26:58 PM: Any of the following:

Transatlantic - The Whirlwind, Stranger in Your Soul
Pink Floyd - Don't Leave Me Now
Porcupine Tree - Collapse the Light Into Earth

Was thinking maybe a Neal Morse song, but I think he's more of a story-telling concept album guy and his songs don't stand well on their own.

And maybe even this:

Title: Re: favourite non DT song?
Post by: skydivingninja on October 20, 2011, 12:36:20 PM: Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen is objectively the greatest song written by anybody ever.

Title: Re: favourite non DT song?
Post by: Basekick on October 20, 2011, 07:01:57 PM: Oh man. Well, I just happened to give some serious thought to my absolute top 5 songs ever, with only 1 song per artist, and I came up with this:

1. Something - The Beatles

And then the rest in no particular order:

Funeral - Devin Townsend
The Drapery Falls/Ghost Of Perdition - Opeth (Couldn't decide!)
The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
Wake Up - Rage Against The Machine

Then I couldn't help myself and filled out the top ten (again no particular order):

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Blackbird - Alter Bridge
Starship Trooper - Yes
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here - Porcupine Tree
Stockholm Syndrome - Muse

Honorable Mentions:
Get The Funk Out - Extreme
The Other Me - Frost*
Little Wing (Cover) - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Castles Made Of Sand - Jimi Hendrix
Sleeping Giant - Mastodon
Cochise - Audioslave

I realized that while I consider myself a man who loves more than anything the Super Riff Heavy Pump Up masterpieces, I find that most of these songs make me the happiest. Not necessarily rock the hardest, but strike the biggest chord in me for whatever reason. Some do just rock the fuck out though. :metal

If I was able to add Dream Theater on here though, it would probably be Misunderstood replacing Stockholm Syndrome in the top 10. Really tough choice there though.
