Ooh boy! Semi-Final time!

As much as I absolutely love A Change of Seasons, Breaking All Illusions in the Final would be an absolute fairytale for a Mangini-era song, so I'm voting for that. If it loses here, though, it's still a fantastic achievement for the song, and sets it on its way to becoming one of the Immortal Classics.

The 2nd matchup was a bit more difficult, but I went for Octavarium, the song that got me into Dream Theater in the first place.

Shall be donning my best bib and tucker for the Grand Final in a few days!  :biggrin:

ACOS and 8V. Maybe it's pretty typical to go for the two epics here, but what can I say? They're that good.

I'm honestly just stoked that BAI made it this far. It certainly proves that with time it'll be seen as a timeless DT classic along the likes of LTL and ACOS, which it certainly deserves.

All 4 are in my top 10 (and 3 are in my top 5 probably), so I obviously love each of the tracks. Still, fairly easy decisions for me:

Breaking All Illusions

ACOS
Octavarium

Octavarium is the only one that might make my top 10, so this is a pretty disappointing, but obvious, semifinal round.

BAI, Octavarium.

I'm so happy LtL is losing though. You don't know how happy this makes me.

Honestly I love both of the songs in the first poll so either winning is fine as long as they win the entire thing in the end

My two favorite DT songs are A Change of Seasons and Learning To Live, so those.

It's kind of neat that each lineup, since JLB joined the band, is represented in this final four.

LaBrie/Petrucci/Myung/Moore/Portnoy: Learning to Live
LaBrie/Petrucci/Myung/Sherinian/Portnoy: A Change of Seasons
LaBrie/Petrucci/Myung/Rudess/Portnoy: Octavarium

And, for me at least, those 4 songs are almost all my favorite from each era. 8Vm and ACoS are from those 2, and LTL and BAI are very close to being my favorite.

I went with BAI and 8VM. Hope 8VM takes it to the end.

Damn!  So tough to choose between BAI and ACOS.  I always knew that BAI would be one of DT's best.  Glad to see it in the final 4.  Sorry ACOS but even if you win, I'm totally cool with that.  8VM is great but gotta go with LTL.

BAI
LTL

Wow!  What a final!   :hefdaddy
