Bumping threads just to bump them is generally frowned on here.

Welcome to the forum.
This probably already has multiple threads on this exact topic, so that is probably why you aren't getting a response.

Anyway.
Tough one tho, this is the first top 10 thread I see (I've seen top 3 and top 5, but not 10)
Octavarium
The Count of Tuscany
In The Presence of Enemies
Home
The Spirit Carries On
Prophets of War
Innocence Faded

Here's a typically prog-lovers/epic-lovers list...(and in no real order, because that would take a lot of time to figure out...)
A Change Of Seasons
Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
Octavarium
The Count Of Tuscany
Illumination Theory
In The Presence Of Enemies
In The Name Of God
Trial Of Tears
Home
Learning To Live
Yeah, I love the long songs. I blame my love for bands like Yes, The Flower Kings and Spock's Beard/Neal Morse for that, but for me, DT's longer tracks/epics are some of their best pieces, with some amazing performances from the whole band.

Well, I really like it. Sorry.
-
No reason not to like it. It is pretty good. It's just not a song.
-
I didn't get that. What do you mean?
-
are you pointing out that it is just a part of SDOIT? If so, I prefer to look at that separately, because there are some "songs" in it that I do not like so much....
-
It's hard not to put together a list, but I'm trying to resist as I want to do a top 30/50 list at some point on this forum :-X
I think it would contain a mix of favorites from my top 4 albums (Awake, sfam, sdoit, iaw)

4. 6:00
5. Blind Faith
6. Bridges in the Sky
7. Endless Sacrifice
8. Trial of Tears
9. The Dark Eternal Night
10. Voices
So, a mix of well liked songs and some uncommon choices.
-
it's really hard to choose top 10 because lot of their songs are impressive :)
i think their good melodic songs for me are
-hollow years
-spirit carries on
-wither
-home
-another day
-endless sacrifice
-surrounded
-through her eyes
-octavarium
instrumental/technical songs:
enigma machine
glass prison
erotomania
dance of eternity
breaking all illusion
etc
even mike portnoy was left nothing changed.dramatic turn of events album is blow my mind too.
-
I have a list on here somewhere and I agonized over it, and I'm not doing that again. I do know that Number One is "Cover My Eyes", and somewhere in there is "To Live Forever", "Fatal Tragedy", "I Walk Beside You" and "This Is The Life".
-
paradigm shift
universal mind
another dimension
when the water breaks
acid rain
liquid tension songs are more mind blowing so technical./ :tup :tup :tup :tup
-
Liquiid Tension, technically awesome as it is, does not appeal to me at all.
-
before i usually play loud/intense music but as we mature and lose the need for peer approval we become more inclined to unpretentious or sophisticated music such as jazz and classical pieces :)
-
Actually, I think it's the other way around. When we mature it's when we do not feel the need to play such things, and we start to play what we actually LIKE. If I understood correctly what you meant.
-
are you pointing out that it is just a part of SDOIT? If so, I prefer to look at that separately, because there are some "songs" in it that I do not like so much....
Same here.
I don't look at SDOIT as "one" song. I see it as a song cycle similar to Porcupine Tree - The Incident, Meshuggah-Catch 33, or even A Mind Beside Itself.
I think it's totally fine for you to put Solitary Shell as it's own song because it is.
-
In chronological order:
Metropolis
Learning to Live
Voices
A Change of Seasons
Lines in the Sand
Trial of Tears
The Spirit Carries On
Blind Faith
Misunderstood
Octavarium
-

Same here. I may try to find it when I get time.
-
Liquiid Tension, technically awesome as it is, does not appeal to me at all.
Me neither. I have no interest in instrumental music.

technically on how petrucci playing solos at 1000 notes per minute. :lol :lol

I won't defend my picks, since nobody else is defending theirs.

4. The Count of Tuscany
5. Forsaken

7. Learning to Live

Honorable Mention: The remainder of Images and Words in its entirety (except Another Day); Caught In A Web, The Silent Man, Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, and Scarred; A Change of Seasons; Trial of Tears; most of the remainder of Scenes From A Memory; Blind Faith; As I Am, This Dying Soul and Endless Sacrifice, In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1 and The Dark Eternal Night; A Nightmare to Remember; Bridges in the Sky; The Enemy Inside and Illumination Theory.
Finally, if part of a suite is presented as its own track number on a CD, it should be able to count as a song for this exercise. I only included all of Six Degrees because it is played live in its entirety (at least parts II. through VIII.), is presented as only one track on Score, and is brilliant from beginning to end.
-
Man, that's actually harder to chose than it seems.
Let's see... I know my top 2 are Hell's Kitchen and Learning to Live. I'm not sure which is number 1 and which is 2 though...
As for the others, here's a list of the songs that could potentially make my top ten:
The Killing Hand with young James on vocals
Take The Time and Wait for Sleep
The Mirror and Lifting Shadows of a Dream
Peruvian Skies
Home
The whole first CD of Six Degrees
Vacant and In the Name of God
Sacrificed Sons
A Nightmare to Remember
Bridges in the Sky
The Bigger Picture and Illumination Theory (mostly due to the first 2 movements)
Unfortunately, I really can't narrow it down more than that... let alone rank them :lol
-
No particular order. These are my favorite DT songs as of today, the list always keeps changing.
Octavarium
Blind Faith
A Change of Seasons
Voices
Learning to Live
Breaking all Illusions
Hell's Kitchen
Lines in the Sand
Surrounded
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Under a Glass Moon
Yes, that would make it 11. I just think it would be a crime to leave any of these out of the list.
-
Scenes from a Memory as a whole, that's it
Overture 1928 is part of Strange Deja Vu.
Through my Words is part of Fatal Tragedy.
There we go
1.- Regression
2.- Overture Deja vu
3.- Through my Tragedy
4.- Beyond This Life
5.- Through Her Eyes
6.- Home
7.- The Dance of Eternity
8.- One Last Time (Kicks so much ass it isn't part of The Dance of Eternity, it's a coincidence, don't get yourselves fooled)
9.- The Spirit Carries On
10.- Finally Free
There you go.
-
Finally, if part of a suite is presented as its own track number on a CD, it should be able to count as a song for this exercise. I only included all of Six Degrees because it is played live in its entirety (at least parts II. through VIII.), is presented as only one track on Score, and is brilliant from beginning to end.
Six Degrees is one song, so no justification necessary. :tup
-
I think if you have a song that clearly is made of some shorter songs that has well defined beginnings and ends (which is not always the case in DT songs), for the purpose of this exercise you can name the whole or any piece of that. Why not?

1 About to crash
2 Through her words

Ok, my 10.
1. The Count of Tuscany (lyrics aside, my favorite music ever written by DT)
2. The Spirit Carries On (my favorite JP solo)
3. The Ministry of Lost Souls (awesome lyrics, great music)
4. Surrounded (the song that made me fall in love with DT)
5. Breaking All Illusions (overall great song)
6. A Change of Seasons (great epic)
7. Octavarium (another awesome epic)
8. Wither (beautiful song, great playing by everyone, great JP solo)
9. Losing Time/Grand Finale (just very cool to me)
10. Bridges in the Sky (maybe a half-dozen or so other songs could be here instead, but.....)
These could be re-ordered somewhat, but they're certainly my favorites. A lot of epics here.....I love long songs!
