What Dream Theater song is the most "in the middle" for you?
« on: April 19, 2011, 09:34:46 PM »
And by that, I mean like... let's say that there are 100 DT songs (which there is around close to, adding up all from the 10 studio albums and then the Cleaning Out the Closet tracks)

Which one is the nearest to the middle of your rankings? Like, in the 50s area?

^ Beat me to Adami. More random than my which band member would pull a Kevin Moore thread....  :lol

Well this one is kind of hard to judge. I would say the entire WDADU album is in the middle.. all of those songs just kind of are meh to me.

Endless Sacrifice.

So Endless Sacrifice.
There is so little respek left in the world, that if you look it up in the dictionary, you'll find that it has been taken out.

Uncle Ricky wants YOU to show some respek

thats a hard one
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Trial of Tears
Wait. WHAT
This is just my opinion.But I see that you all like it, then most in the middle song is:
A Fortune in Lies

Don't be influenced by others to change your opinion like that, to each his own. I just find is strange.

What an odd thread.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
