Title: DT songs list in A > Y order
Post by: d-tailer on November 14, 2013, 12:36:36 AM: As I've been exploring the DT archives of albums & concerts, here's a Wiki of their complete songs list that's been useful, in conjunction with Letter M's albums & songs index - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_recorded_by_Dream_Theater

Also this discography includes tracklists of the concert albums: https://www.listal.com/list/dream-theater-discography

Just thought they would be of interest for others trying to catch up with DT's extensive collection.

I always saw variations in how song titles or bands that begin with "The" are alphabetized. Some places use "The" as the first word, other places I've seen use the word after "The." I'm not even sure what is technically correct.

Uncanny, I was thinking the very same thing when I posted my comment. I have a rock encyclopedia which lists it like "Flower Kings, The". Anyway, with this method we have G and K crossed out, only the most obscure of letters remain. :)

The trickier letters could be X and Z but here's a few theme words that come to mind (in no particular order):

Xenophobia/ic, or maybe drop the 'e' off 'ex-' words like X-treme

Zero-, Zeal/ot/ous, Zombie/s, Zodiac
