So, what is your favorite Dream Theater song?
Myns probably
Another day : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUPgSOwTIAA
The intro and solo, is really some side of Petrucci I never really heard before this. Awesome guitar riffs and solo. And super awesome sax stuff! Way off the track of what they ussually do.
Metropolis is real good too.
tj
Wow, thats hard.....Maybe....."Forsaken" or "The Dark Eternal Night"
In Presence of Enemies part 1 and 2
or
Constant Motion but im also a big fan of These Walls
Constant motion is amazing.. .
Forsaken's pretty cool too.
i'd say "Trial Of Tears" and maybe "hells kitchen"...but there's so many
Edit: I just have to add "The Killing Hand" aswell, best song of their first album imo
Very hard, Surrounded I think, LOVE THAT DELAY SOLO!
Since they are one of my favorite bands I cant choose a single favorite, but Stream Of Conciousness is amazing.
You mean i have to choose?!?!?
its so close between so many songs- but i can only narrow it down to
"stream of consciousness"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF6tCPlFaO8
and "in the name of god"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZM04-ysM7g&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXstvXu5sPs&feature=related
yep i really love the train of thought album
...
i should probably explain my choices- stream of consciousness just keeps developing the same idea throughout and everytime i listen to it i hear new things- so well written and so damn memorable.
In the name of god- because the first time i heard that chorus, i froze . i was in awe- it was just epic. My jaw dropped and i was completly blank minded, just trying to absorb what i was hearing. It still has a similar effect on me now (just lacking the element of surprise this time )
Those are my top two i think
Erotomania & Metropolis part 1
I can't give you one i'm afraid, that's impossible
As I Am
Endless Sacrifice
Trial of Tears
Afterlife
Hollow Years (Budokan version)
The Spirit Carries on
The Dark Eternal Night
There's many more, these stand out the most for me. Ok maybe that's too much already lol
don't make me choose!
it's soo hard. i guess id say glass prison and under a glass moon maybe.
but i bet ill change my mind after i post this!
I like a lot of their songs but now I have "Home" in mind... what a great song, riff, chorus and solo.
I almost love every song of DT .. really hard to say wich one my favorite is.. :X
Lol are you kidding me, here are some of my favorite
Under a Glass Moon

Stream of Conciousnous (however you spell it, I hate English)
Lines in the Sand

Yea, I am pretty much like the biggest Dream Theater fan ever!!!
But WAIT. What would a best Dream Theater song list be without a WORST Dream Theater song list.
Here's mine
1- Pull Me Under. I HATE THIS SONG. This is why I made threads against Dream Theater when I started listening to them, because this song, being the first one I ever heard is pretty much crap, and I will still enforce that today.
2- Take Away My Pain
3- Hollow Years
4- Surrounded
5- Status Seeker
Riff-Wise
DaMaGe CoNtRoL
My favourite riff is the main riff in "the Ytse JAM", it's amazing !!! but my favourite song is more difficult to find... mmm maybe Dance of Eternity or Metropolis part 1... hehe, I'm a FREAK !!! XD
I discovered something very nice! The best 10 petrucci's solos...

I met Dream Theater with "The Spirit Carries on" and I think that song still is my favorite.
Very nice picks guys.
And thanks Gabriel, really nice links .
Under a Glass Moon
Hard choice...Erotomania lets say
This is very simple for me as I hate a lot of dream theater and love a small amount but what I do love I listen to a lot. Favourite songs.
1. Space Dye-Vest (Amazing song and in a different class to other Dream Theater songs but not really them)
2. Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
3. Ministry of Lost Souls
My fav album is Awake by a long way and we cover The Mirror in our band.
I hate a lot of DT songs as well. Images And Words is the only album I could appreciate from them. My pick for fav song would have to be:
Take The Time.
Images in words Is probably my favorite album of theirs.
I can't pick a favorite album. They are all really good. The only album that I don't like so much is When Dream and Day Unite.
If I HAD to make a list though it would be
1. Train of Thought
2. Images and Words
3. Falling into Infinity
4. Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory
5. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
7. Systematic Chaos
8. Octavarium
9. Awake
10. Change of Seasons
11. When Dream and Day Unite
Keep in mind though, all of them are still REALLY good.
Men, I donĀ“t have one favourite song... I love Dream Theater and I love all of their songs. They are incredibles!!!
I think it is Erotamania(instrumental song) and As I Am!
I think it is Erotamania(instrumental song) and As I Am!
Learning to Live!
I am fairly new to Dream Theater. I started listening to them about two or three months ago when I heard Thiago Campos play the intro solo to The Count of Tuscany (ending song of Black Clouds and Silver Linings). This album is just pure ear-candy. However I have scurried through their discography looking for melodic tracks, which I am particularly into.
I believe every single track on their last album is great. A Nightmare to Remember, The Best of Times and The Count of Tuscany are the most memorable ones.
I love every single song in the 1992 album Images and Words. My bass player told me to listen to Metropolis pt. 1 - The Miracle and the Sleeper, and I automatically listened to that album over and over. My favourite songs therein are Another Day, Take the Time, Surrounded, Metropolis pt. 1 and Learning to Live.
Other songs I enjoy would be Hollow Years (live at Budokan 2004), Stream of Consciousness, New Millenium, Peruvian Skies, Lines in the Sand.
The thing about Dream Theater though is that sometimes I can't exactly pin-point which song I love the most. For example, in the album Metropolis pt. 2 - Scenes from a Memory, the conceptual setting makes every song interconnected as it tells a story. All the songs are beautiful, some more than others of course...
Who?
I love every song but my fave song is Erotamania!
