Roie I have to say a massive THANK YOU for choosing Scarred. That’s still my personal no.1 DT track 30 years later. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I f**ng LOVE that you guys brought us over an hour with one of my favourite musos ever... Any time you want to get individual interviews with the rest of the band is ok with me :) .... Thanks Jordan for spending your time like this ... Much appreciated !
Doing an interview with Jordan,especially in anticipation of DT 15, is exciting! The only thing that could make this even better,is timestamps on the video about the different topics you discussed. Not all followers have 1 hour to watch an interview,but want to hear something more specific. Think about it for your next,or even this,episodes.👍
Nuts, mission impossible but I'll have to give it a try. 12 tracks is challenging but I will also limit myself to one song per album. This is today's list and a honourable mention for Mike's Score tracklist that nails many of my favourites: Disc 1 58:12 1. Under a Glass Moon 7:03 2. Innocence Faded 5:42 3. A Change of Seasons 23:09 4. Lines in the Sand 12:05 5. Beyond this Life 11.23 Disc 2 58:17 6. In the Presence of Enemies (parts 1&2 of course) 25:38 6b. Losing Time 6:00 7. Octavarium (live version from Score) 26:39 Disc 3 64:06 8. The Count of Tuscany 19:18 9. Bridges in the Sky 11:01 10. Illumination Theory (live version from Breaking the Fourth Wall) 19:23 12. Pale Blue Dot 8:26 Bonus track: YTSE Jam 5:58
1) Bridges in the Sky 2) Peruvian Skies 3) Under A Glass Moon 4) On the Backs of Angels 5) S2N 6) Constant Motion 7) Stream of Consciousness 8) Surrounded 9) Panic Attack 10) Ytse Jam 11) 6:00 12) Trial of Tears
My picks, limiting to one song per album: Disc 1: 1. The Glass Prison 2. Scarred. 3. Learning to Live 4. Trial of Tears 5. The Count of Tuscany Disc 2: 6. As I Am 7. The Dark Eternal Night 8. The Spirit Carries On 9. Breaking All Illusions 10. Octavarium Too long, I know.
It's funny that I did something similar to this recently with one of my best friends and it pops up on my feed. But this is my top 10 Dream Theater songs I would love the "Ultimate DT" album to be like. 1) Illumination Theory 2) Breaking All Illusions 3) A Nightmare to Remember 4) Misunderstood 5) Space-Dye Vest 6) Pale Blue Dot 7) The Count of Tuscany 8) In the Presence of Enemies (both parts) 9) Awaken the Master 10) A View from the Top of the World
My seleciton, also trying to keep it to max one track / almbum 1. The killing hand 2. Metropolis pt. 1 - the miracle and the sleeper 3. Scarred 4. A change of seasons 5. Trial of Tears 6. Home 7. The great debate 8. This dying soul 9. In the prescense of enemies (counting pt. 1 & 2 as one song LOL) 10. The count of Tuscany 11. Bridges in the sky 12. Illumination theory
If I had to pick 3 more that weren't already picked I would go with Space Dye Vest, Panic Attack and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (is that cheating?)
If I had to pick three, I'd say: 1) A Change Of Seasons 2) Enigma Machine 3) At Wit's End Two of them are my two favourite Dream Theater songs, and I threw Enigma Machine in there because it's my favourite standalone DT instrumental (It would be Hell's Kitchen, but it serves as an intro to Lines In The Sand, so for me it doesn't stand alone as well).
I consider Dance of Eternity to be one of the greatest songs ever written including classical up there with Beethoven's 9th so is When the Water Breaks
agree on A Change of Seasons of course also got to see them perform it (philly on the Awake anniversary tour) no MP, but MM was 'on' that night (many said it was the best /most spirit he'd played with)
The Glass Prison In the Presence of Enemies pt. 2 Metropolis pt. 1 Voices A Change of Seasons Trial of Tears Misunderstood Fatal Tragedy Dance of Eternity This Dying Soul Octavarium The Spirit Carries On
near misses: Lines in the Sand Caught in a Web War Inside My Head/Test That Stumped Them All Th Root of All Evil Endless Sacrifice The Mirror Under a Glass Moon
Illumination Theory Breaking All Illusions Root Of All Evil Our New World The Mirror Surrounded Another Day The Bigger Picture These Walls Rite Of Passage Hells Kitchen This Dying Soul
omg how can you even be in the music 'world' (being a guy on a podcast about music, even) if you EVER thought it was okay to SKIP parts of songs wow that you even say that you did it shows how much you don't know even more

Awake is already the ultimate DT album
Amen
Awake was my 1st DT album at the time. Sold me right away. Never looked back
I cant believe how underrated is that album for real
Definitely a lot of ballads to choose from. Hollow Years (Live at Budokan) is one of my favorites!
Excellent interview, thanks for participating Jordan.

I just love this "Ultimate Album" series !
Always so cool to listen to you guys, especially with such prestigious guests 😃
These Walls is such a great mention! What a powerful song.. the melodies and the outro and everything
Scarred, Lost Not Forgotten and Dark Eternal Night for me. My three favourite albums represented right there.

These Walls has always been one of my favorites. The outro groove is amazing.
I am so glad Jordan said These Walls!😊

Ok, Jordan just became my favorite person by picking Take the Time. Such an underappreciated gem. One of my favorite songs by anyone ever.
Love that Jordan picked These Walls. Song is one of my favorites as well
Breaking all illusions would definitely be on my list
The greatest song Dream Theater ever made.
Learning to live is still my fav tune by DT, I love everything they do but that one was special to me.
Great songs list guys.. DT is my fave bands. Petrucci my fave guitarist. Great inside info from Jordan the wizard! Keep it up. ❤
Great watch! My 3, and I'm splitting them across eras:-

Loved this!
Stream Of Consciousness - Blind Faith - The Mirror

Not one pick from the Post Portnoy era lol. Welcome home MP. We all missed you. Btw, Jordan doing this is so friggin cool
If I had to pick 3 more that weren't already picked I would go with Space Dye Vest, Panic Attack and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (is that cheating?)
These Walls specify the times we're living in right now in 2023!!...
If I had to pick three, I'd say:
1) A Change Of Seasons
2) Enigma Machine
3) At Wit's End
Two of them are my two favourite Dream Theater songs, and I threw Enigma Machine in there because it's my favourite standalone DT instrumental (It would be Hell's Kitchen, but it serves as an intro to Lines In The Sand, so for me it doesn't stand alone as well).
Agreed but I like Erotomania as the best instrumental
@@UnderworldInferno Erotomania's pretty damn good too, but for whatever reason I don't go back to it much unless I'm listening to Awake in full.
@@faroffgrace5490 yeah I’m a little biased because Awake is my favorite album but can’t go wrong with any of them!!
Lol listen to lines in the sand and totos goodbye girl. Very similar groove.
I consider Dance of Eternity
to be one of the greatest songs ever written
including classical
up there with Beethoven's 9th
so is
When the Water Breaks
yes
This Dying Soul is in top 3-5 DT songs ever
Train of Thought is their 2nd best album after
Metropolis pt. 2 SFAM
yes
The Spirit Carries On is a MUST
also a top 10 DT song without doubt
it's probably the one I have other people listen to the most
you guys are doing great
agree on A Change of Seasons of course
also got to see them perform it (philly on the Awake anniversary tour)
no MP, but MM was 'on' that night (many said it was the best /most spirit he'd played with)
Episode title correction “Ultimate Dream Theater Triple Album”.
voices?
What?
Three words: Blind Faith unison.
lines in the sand is great...cuz its got DUG PINNOCK on it!
That would be the longest album ever made.
6DoIT. Ultimate album is already an album :D
Amen
Your Ultimate DT album would be 2h and 57m. Easely a triple album
The Glass Prison
In the Presence of Enemies pt. 2
Metropolis pt. 1
Voices
A Change of Seasons
Trial of Tears
Misunderstood
Fatal Tragedy
Dance of Eternity
This Dying Soul
Octavarium
The Spirit Carries On
near misses:
Lines in the Sand
Caught in a Web
War Inside My Head/Test That Stumped Them All
Th Root of All Evil
Endless Sacrifice
The Mirror
Under a Glass Moon
Ultimate? That means there will be no more DT albums after this one?
So just one song post 2009? Lol
Illumination Theory
Breaking All Illusions
Root Of All Evil
Our New World
The Mirror
Surrounded
Another Day
The Bigger Picture
These Walls
Rite Of Passage
Hells Kitchen

fake applause nice
