Rank the DT 10+ minute epics

[SleeperAwake]

One band wrote all those songs. Damn, Dream Theater is awesome.

I think that every time I see polls like this, or when I make my picks in the 'league' game being played in the poll subforum right now. Dream Theater aren't my favourite band (because Pink Floyd are unassailable for me) but they are the band that have the highest number of songs that I consider to be incredible. Most bands, even my favourites, have maybe 20 songs at most I think of as brilliant. DT have something like 50.

Hell this is almost impossible. I chose Trial of Tears, as it usually leaves me feeling so happily exhausted as it finishes. But on different days it could be any one of (in no particular order)
LTL
Scarred
ACOS
LITS
Home
SDOIT
ITNOG
8V
ITPOE
TSF
BAI
IT

although often I veer towards the earlier songs.
