What Are Your Favorites of These DT Songs
« on: July 01, 2020, 02:09:16 PM »
Pretty simple.  Choose the FIVE songs from this list that you like the most.

This list is populated by the bottom two songs from each DT album based on the DT "league" that was completed in December 2019.  I have excluded False Awakening Suite and transitional songs from SFAM and TA.

P.S.  Sorry for the misfire when I initially tried to create this thread.

I picked:

The Great Debate
Never Enough
A Rite of Passage
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Along for the Ride

HOWEVER, if I had seen that Through Her Eyes was on the list I would have chose that instead of Along for the Ride.

Easy vote for me:
Light Fuse and Get Away (fave on WDaDU, an album I rate very highly)
The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun (former fave of WDaDU)
The Great Debate (second song that was an early fave on SDoIT behind Disappear)
Honor Thy Father (song I've come to appreciate more than before)
Never Enough (love this song, including the Muse influence, lyrics and in particular that instrumental section)

Just missing the cut:
Enigma Machine
Room 137

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.

Im really surprised to see One Last Time on this list.  I have always absolutely loved that song.   I guess it just shows how amazing SFAM is.

I went with:

One Last Time
Silent Man
Another Day
Great Debate
Misunderstood.

"bottom two" is subjective I guess. As any preference of five pieces here. (back on topic: I'm surprised to see Misunderstood appear here. Not because of how (apparently) not liked it is, but rather just for what it is I guess. When I heard them play it live it was strange to say the least, but also interesting in some ways. I only heard them play it 3 times at the most, in 2002.)

Exactly.  The actual bottom 2 songs from SFAM were Regression and Through My Words, but as I mentioned in the original post, I omitted transitional songs like those and a few on TA.  I suspect if I had included them, they'd get no votes at all.

You can't be too surprised that WFS is a bottom 2 song on I&W, can you?  It surprises me that, at the moment, it has the most votes of any of the listed songs.

And there are only six songs on SDOIT.  I'm surprised Misunderstood ranked below Disappear, but folks here seem to like Disappear.  And, while you (and I) like both AFTR and OOR, I think we both know that both rank pretty low on their respective albums for most folks here.

Through Her Eyes  - Like better the TSCO
The Great Debate  - One of my favorites (so many!)
Prophets of War -   This and the next one are similar to me and very groovy and great to work out to.
Build Me Up
Far From Heaven  -  Makes me cry.

Controversial opinion: Wait for Sleep is better than Take the Time (well maybe equal to Take the Time), Surrounded and Under a Glass Moon.

I absolutely am surprised.  The worst I could possibly rank it is 4th on I&W if I really stretch.  And there is no way I could honestly rank it below TTT, Surrounded, UAGM, or Another Day.

I'll just have to take your word on how "most folks" feel.  But that being the case, what I said about those opinions still stands.  :lol

Wait for Sleep is incredibly important for that album. It's like the rose in the case in Beauty and the Beast.

I would only rank WFS ahead of Another Day and UAGM.  The worst thing I can say about WFS, though, is that it's short, which means that, as good as it is, it can't stand up to the longer songs that are equally as good or better.  I don't think that's such an unusual take, and even if you think more highly of the song, I also don't think it's all that surprising.

probably, and it prepares us for Learning To Live quite nicely, seeing as some parts from WFS are reprised in it. (Far From Heaven and BAI work similarly btw)

My picks were:

Caught in a Web - I was suprised to see this was even on the poll, how it managed to make bottom 2 on Awake. But then I tought about the rest of Awake and that's some stiff competition. Song still rocks though.
Burning My Soul
The Great Debate - picked this by accident thinking it was Blind Faith for some reason, and now I can't un-vote it :blush
Never Enough
A Rite of Passage - I was surprised to see this so low on here, it's far and away my favourite song from that album.

So...after 61 votes and with three days of inactivity, the top 5 of these "bottom 2" songs are

1. Misunderstood (32 votes)
2. The Great Debate (30 votes)
3. Wait for Sleep (29 votes)
4. Caught in a Web (26 votes)
5. Another Day (25 votes)


On the other end of the spectrum, You Not Me, Act of Faythe and Losing Faythe have only gotten one vote each.  Enigma Machine only got 2 votes, and Burning My Soul and Repentance round out the "worst of the worst" with only 3 votes each.

Not really surprised to see at the top songs from two major classic albums, and two from an album with only six songs where "bottom 2" is a very relative concept.

As indicated above, I'm a bit surprised about WFS given its brevity and status as sort of a prelude to LTL.  Otherwise, I agree.

From a personal standpoint, I'm baffled at the love that TGD gets.  I'm doing a run through DT's albums, and I'm finishing SFAM later today, so I'll give TGD another listen soon.
