BAI, R and FFH because of BAI alone (I like the other 2 as well, especially R, but BAI, man!).

The one with Breaking all Illusions, though it was a tough call against the group of Bridges in the Sky.

Outcry, BAI, Ravenskill and The Gift of Music are all top selections from their respective albums but I think BAI edges out Outcry as does Ravenskill over The Gift of Music.

Surrender to Reason, Three Days, and Our New World are is most consistent group of songs in terms of quality.

That's why it is fun. I try to make them as even as possible, given the general opinions I see on this forum of DT songs, although option 2 here is clearly the weakest link.

Yeah, this is very tough! The first 4 options all have 2 really great songs and one that I don't care much for. The final group doesn't have a song that I dislike, but only has 1 really great track.

I guess I'll go with Bridges in the Sky, Enigma Machine & The Path That Divides.

I have trouble with TA songs, so I pick my favorite one, The Gift of Music.

All songs from from ADTOE and DT12 are almost on par for me (except Far from Heaven).

Is there a pattern of the songs you choose?

I guess the Bridges in the Sky team.

I wnet with the Bridges in the Sky, Enigma Machine, The Path That Divides grouping. But it was a really close one between that and Surrender to Reason, Three Days, Our New World.

Outcry, Along for the Ride & The Gift of Music.  The first two entries are top-2 on their respective albums, and TGOM is pretty good too.

I try to make the groupings as even as I can, based on the likings of songs by fans on this forum.  Not easy to pull off, obviously.

Oh, and I always list the songs from the longest to the shortest.

BAI alone does it for me, regardless of the other 2.
