AlexKzillion: top 25 dream theater songs

AlexKzillion 02.05.25	new album hypeeeeeee
KjSwantko 02.05.25	Respectable effort. A Change of Seasons remains maybe my favorite. Innocence caresses meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
AlexKzillion 02.05.25	getting to this final 25 was surprisingly easy but this is a rather loose ranking overall
KjSwantko 02.05.25	I don’t care for Scenes the way you do, but I can understand the appeal. I’ve just lost interest in the wankery DT over the years. Conversely, I look at songs like “Another Day” as brilliant. One of my favorite all time solos too.
SomeCallMeTim 02.05.25	many Awake songs need to be much higher =[
Zakusz 02.05.25	Agreed that Another Day is a genius song full heartedly, but when I spin DT it is not for that reason in the least. I am there for the wank... and then I move on
SomeCallMeTim 02.05.25	you dirty dog
Zakusz 02.05.25	Also A Change of Seasons is easily my favorite. And In the Name of God
Hawks 02.05.25	God awful band agreed everyone.
Zakusz 02.05.25	IDK man, music can be fun
el_newg 02.05.25	hmm I think I would have a lot of differences if I made this list! e.g. I'd choose Take the Time and Surrounded before Pull Me Under, Voices and Scarred instead of Lie, Endless Sacrifice over This Dying Soul (though 4 tracks from ToT may already be too many LOL), and I'd have to rep WDADU with The Killing Hand I like the inclusion of Peruvian Skies though and of course they have many agreed upon classics like Learning to Live
chemicalmarriage 02.05.25	Great list
AlexKzillion 02.05.25	gotta take things with a large grain of salt but the pre order vinyls have shipped already and the dt subreddit seems head over heels for the new one
Titan 02.05.25	Alex bro wtf where is surrounded? And space dye at 25?????? Pffttt Lots of great choices though
Veldin 02.05.25	Been to a deep discog dive this past year, because I love prog and have never listened to this band before. Currently on Systematic Chaos, but I have heard various songs on successive albums. Very good list of songs imo. New album is awesome. Cheers! @Hawks- super fun band and great group of dudes! ;)
JohnnyoftheWell 02.06.25	1 lol no 2 yes 3 meh 4 eh 5 jfc really? 6 yes ok 7 yes ok 8 uhhhhhh 9 yes absolutely 10 uh sure 11 sure 12 yes could be higher 13 yes exactly right 14 fine 15 obviously yes 16 uhhh okay!! 17 mandatory 18 y e s 19 lol fuck off metallica 20 sure 21 fine but where the fuck are voices or erotomania 22 meh sure 23 really? 24 corn 25 of course verdict 5-6/10?
AlexKzillion 02.06.25	erotomania / voices / the silent man probably make it in as one piece of music but did not want to attempt ranking that against regular tracks. same with six degrees. overall awake is probably my third fave dt album but its more so because of consistency than any huge highlights
DamnVanne 02.06.25	I listen to Take Away My Pain about twice as much as every other DT track combined. Great song
Meborphus 02.06.25	I'd shuffle this list a bit, but lots of good choices. I'd switch most ToT songs with more Six Degrees tracks, and would dare to offer up a Bridges in the Sky or Breaking All Illusions into the mix!
el_newg 02.06.25	yep Breaking All Illusions gotta be the best from the Mangini era and could have a spot in the list
KjSwantko 02.06.25	Hell’s Kitchen and Misunderstood are probably my favorite underrated songs. Interestingly, I don’t like that era of DT too much but always loved those songs.
Beardog 02.06.25	Nice list
Parallels 02.07.25	babby's first dt list
Parallels 02.07.25	here's a DT list with some armpit hair (in no particular order): 6:00 Caught in a Web The Mirror/Lie Scarred Pull Me Under Take the Time Wait for Sleep Blind Faith The Great Debate Misunderstood Vacant Honor Thy Father New Millenium Burning My Soul/Hell's Kitchen The Root of All Evil Never Enough Sacrificed Sons Breaking All Illusions Only a Matter Of Time
Parallels 02.07.25	also im drunk so i wouldnt give me too much consideration i think (most) of your songs are cool choices too
Willie 02.07.25	space dye-vest is an underrated classic.
budgie 02.07.25	i see top 25 dream pop songs outta the corner of my eye and get real excited but its foookin dream theater
AlexKzillion 02.07.25	@parellels way too many six degrees and octavarium duds on that list brother root of all evil and take the time were my last two cuts. i don't believe in honorable mentions
