Favorite DT Song from Each Album

When Dream And Day Unite: Afterlife--Very pensive lyrics, well-sung, and the music on all counts is charged with emotion.
Runner-up: Only A Matter Of Time

Images And Words: Learning To Live--From one of my top 3 albums, this song is the epitome of Dream Theater never forgetting that melody is important, and of course the Myung lyrics are beyond amazing!
Runner-up: Metropolis Pt. I

Awake: Scarred--A song that I can probably relate to the most, it is probably the one song that summed up my adolescence, so I enjoy the nostalgic feel.
Runner-up: Erotomania

Falling Into Infinity: Trial Of Tears--Probably holds the best instrumental break in Dream Theater's career, from JP's solo to the fantastic rhythmic support from JM and MP for Sherinian's massive keys solo; and again, Myung's lyrics tell more with each listen.
Runner-up: Lines In The Sand

Scenes From A Memory: Finally Free--Incredibly well-conceived song and perfect ending to an otherwise perfect album; LaBrie just shines completely for me.
Runner-up: Fatal Tragedy

Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence: The Great Debate--A song that deals with a divided issue and the music only makes the song so mesmerizing with it's progressive texture.
Runner-up: The Glass Prison

Train Of Thought: Stream Of Consciousness--One of the better instrumentals I have heard where everyone just manages to really show their full potential playing- and songwriting-wise.
Runner-up: Endless Sacrifice

Octavarium: Octavarium--The quintessential Dream Theater song; need I say more?
Runner-up: Sacrificed Sons

Systematic Chaos: In The Presence Of Enemies--More specifically, part two, since it just gets me pumped to battle any injustice.
Runner-up: Constant Motion

Black Clouds And Silver Linings: The Shattered Fortress--A marvelous close to the AA saga, and my favorite Portnoy lyric thus far, and the compilation parts mesh well with the new parts.
Runner-up: Wither

Sleep, sleep and dream of being the guardian to your best treasure-The love that in you I have consecrated, there is so much of it you have to give
