POLL: Kevin's Greatest (DT) Song

[Mebert78]

OK. I've been thinking about this for a while. I am coordinating a tournament to determine the fans' choice of Kevin's all-time greatest song. This is the a great time to do it since there are exactly 3 DT albums, 3 CK albums and 3 OSI albums. It will be a three-part tournament: part 1 will be a poll to determine his greatest DT song; part 2 for the greatest CK song; and part 3 for the greatest OSI song. The top 4 songs from each poll will then advance to a final round to choose Kevin's all-time greatest song.

To qualify, the song must have lyrics written by Moore, he must have played and/or sang on the track, or he must be the song's chief songwriter. You can vote for 4 songs per poll. Why only 4? Because that keeps it simple and lets voters basically vote for their favorite song from each album, as well as an extra song.

I know polls and rankings are not everyone's cup of tea. But I thought it would be fun for those of us that like this kinda stuff. Let the voting begin!

glad 6:00 is on there, i really think its very creative!

my vote: PMU SPV WFS 6:00

My choice: Only a Matter of Time, Pull Me Under, Surrounded, Space-Dye Vest

I think Surrounded is one of DT's best songs. It's sort of "easy listening", but really complex with the odd time signatures and stuff. And the lyrics are so beautiful...

[Mebert78]

OK, time to make my choices. This poll is easy for me. I'm picking Only a Matter of Time, Surrounded, Space-Dye Vest and Eve. Eve is a beautiful instrumental song that most people have never heard and I'm sure it won't make it to the next round, but I had to pick it. Kevin's piano is in the forefront and it's amazing.

u should put there Take The time...

and i guess what i think about this!

All of the Above

[lukeduke]

I choose SDV (of course), 6:00, Surrounded and Wait for sleep.
Can't wait to listen to Eve, I'm very curious

[ceren]

That was easy for me. SDV (of course!), Wait For Sleep (he wrote that one for me;), Pull Me Under and Surrounded. You can tell how much I love Images and Words

[Mebert78]

hey lukeduke. if you goto the "Fan Stuff" section of this website and click on "Fan Videos" there are two videos made to the song Eve that i linked from youtube. Definitely check it out!

[vivace]

I wonder which one is Kevin's favorite?
Perhaps excluding SDV and WFS since those were the sort of direction he himself was headed in at the time.
But I wonder if he has a favorite out of the louder DT ones? Any info out there ?

my favorite out of the loud DT songs might be 6:00, but its hard to say since iv listened to Pull me Under like a gazillion times. My experience with PMU:
1. Wow this guitar intro is amazing
2. ummm that song just tore it apart let me listen to it again..and again for the next little while.
3. after a period you become aware the keyboard doing this amazing stuff in the intro.
4. Now you have to listen to it again and again for another period.

QQ I won't vote because I have not listened to DT enough yet, it would not be fair.

Space-Dye Vest
Eve

Ok, I left the poll open for another 24 hours and we got a few more votes that changed the finalists. The DT/CK/OSI polls have been open for a pull week, so I feel safe in saying it's time to close them and properly advance to the Championship Round. All the frequent posters here have voted. Here is the outcome:

DREAM THEATER WINNERS:
1) Space-Dye Vest (won in a landslide with 17 votes.)
2) Surrounded (9 votes)
3) Pull Me Under (7 votes)
4) 6:00 (7 votes)
