Choose up to 3 songs.

I made this hard on purpose.  I will do a series of these polls in this subforum, just for fun.

I went with:

Learning to Live
Voices
Take the Time

A Change of Seasons
Voices

Those two came easy.

Then it got harder.

Came down to:
Learning to Live
At Wit's End
Octavarium
Breaking All Illusions
Fatal Tragedy

Well that was hard! Went with At Wit's End. Acknowledging it is in part due to it is the newest and one I've listened to the most recently.

Went with Learning to Live, The Mirror and Home. Could've picked ACoS, but at the moment, I think I rank these 3 higher. LtL is forever my #1 DT song.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Well, all the songs that I consider my top 3 are there, so I just picked them:

Metropolis
A Change of Seasons
Voices


Of course the list is filled with frabjously fantastic songs so it was nearly impossible to choose, but I did anyway  ;D
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Was just wondering who was the other person who had exquisite taste and selected The Mirror :) I went with ACoS instead of Home though, though it could have gone either way.

While I stated above my top 3, The Mirror will always have a special place in my heart because it's the song that made me finally think "hey, these guys are good, I should check them out", so it's the song that started the avalanche effect that made me into a DT fan. So while I don't place it on the podium, it's still one of my very favorite DT songs and one of the sentimentally dearest, so any kind of love for The Mirror is deeply appreciated and shared by me  :heart

Impossibly difficult.

Octavarium, Fatal Tragedy, Home and BAI are right on the cusp.

This was fairly easy for me.  But a really good poll.

A Change of Seasons
Trial of Tears
Home

Those are among my very favorite DT songs.  Although there are certainly others on in this poll I could add, but those rise to the top.
