Dude, let me grieve for my dog, man

My mind has been on different things

Your dog died?

I missed that one, sorry.

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Your Houndoom died?

Your Houndoom died?

[tri.ad]

There are other people to whom this picture applies much, much better than to me. Besides, I was asking a legitimate question.

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Not serious of course. Not really intended to be funny either.

I'm sorry for the loss, PLM. I love dogs myself, and it saddens me to hear deaths.

No, but it was the first somewhat reasonable chance to attempt it. Nothing personal

[tri.ad]

That's your opinion, but it wasn't my intention at all.

bump again

In the time its taking PLM to finish this up, I'll probably have all my own writeups finished 

[Pirate]

Hmmm, seems someone criticized me for taking long with my top 50... have the tables turned?

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

By like, a lot. Maybe someone could start his own under PLM's agreement?

Lord knows I never expected any of this to happen to me. But I apologize

By like, a lot. Maybe someone could start his own under PLM's agreement?

I don't really care right now. I have tons of work for school and everything so I may not get done for a few weeks. In retrospect, i probably should have done all the writeups beforehand, but I can't worry about that now.

If you guys want me to finish, I could just post my rankings without the writeups? I dunno. What do you want me to do?

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

I certainly wouldn't mind that. I just want more people posting their lists, honestly.

This.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I do apologize for my absences. Life got in the way. It happens.

Without further ado, here is my top 15, sans descriptions. I may edit this later should I decide to go back to it:


15. Erotomania

14. The Count of Tuscany

13. The Spirit Carries On

12. Surrounded

11. Blind Faith

10. 6:00

9. These Walls

8. Learning To Live

7. Lines in the Sand

6.  Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (lolnuggetz)

5. Space-Dye Vest

4. Ytse Jam

3. Voices

2. Octavarium

1. Trial of Tears

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Very agreeable list, I have to say. I'm glad someone actually put Surrounded, Blind Faith, and 6:00 in his Top 15. Except for The Count, These Walls, TSCO, LitS, and Ytse Jam, the rest are in my Top 15 as well.

[skydivingninja]

I cannot argue with man whose favorite DT song is Trial of Tears and puts "These Walls" in his top ten.  I can however, argue with him about Blind Faith being just outside the top ten

[Zydar]

Interesting to see These Walls and Ytse Jam in your Top 10.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I really wanted to put Surrounded in my top ten too. It was a tough choice, but I think it's a good representation

[moffatt]

Very interesting top 15, great choices though. I guess I should start mine soon.

[Mladen]

Interesting top 10, especially with 6:00, These walls, Space-Dye Vest and Ytse Jam.

[Seventh Son]

Interesting top 15, I gotta say. Disagree about some stuff, but agree with the others.

I suppose Mofatt's turn is here though. Might as well take the time (lol nuggetz) to make sure all of my writeups are already done, eh?

[jag66]

very good top 3 indeed. Those are all in my top 4 along with Metropolis 

[hefdaddy42]

I suppose Mofatt's turn is here though. Might as well take the time (lol nuggetz) to make sure all of my writeups are already done, eh?

Are you going after him?

[moffatt]

Alright lets get this show on the road. Before I start I will say my list will be quite controversial, and there will be alot a rage from some people. So don't say I didn't warn you

50. Erotomania
So to start off this list we have an instrumental from awake. The main riff is heavy and catchy which is a great start for an instrumental. Overall the guitar work is very good on this song, lots of great riff's and solo's by petrucci. I feel this song could be at least 1 minute shorter though.

49. The Answer Lies Within
An underrated gem. People always criticise this song, but I think it is a brilliant song. The piano is really dark and JLB really shines (see what I did there?) out for me on this song. But I think the lyrics are good as well and also relatable for me which makes the song even better.

48. Beyond This Life
Another song that a lot of people that don't like. I however think it is a great DT metal song. This main riff is total I love how the lyrics are from a newspaper, it works perfectly. The chorus is very good too, great to singalong too. The instrumental part is great too. But the highlight for me on this song has to be after the slow part when the main riff comes storming back in.

47. Wait for Sleep
First song off I&W's too appear. Also the shortest DT song too appear on the list. Kevin Moore's piano work is just beautiful. James's singing just fits perfectly. Not much more to say about this song really.

[hefdaddy42]

Except for the glaring shitpile at # 49, you're off to a great start.

[Seventh Son]

I suppose Mofatt's turn is here though. Might as well take the time (lol nuggetz) to make sure all of my writeups are already done, eh?

Are you going after him?

I dunno. I think someone else was already in line after Mofatt. Plus, as it stands right now my writeups are a bit more in-depth so they'll obviously take longer to make. Figured I might as well get to writing!

[Pirate]

Well, I guess all of them but TALW belong in the top 50, where exactly is the question... 

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Except for the glaring shitpile at # 49, you're off to a great start.

[orcus116]

Another top 3 finish for Octavarium? Damn. At least SDV made the top 5.

[Mladen]

Fine so far. Wait for sleep is at the exact same spot where I would place it.
