| As I am sure I forgot someone's favorite epic, these are the nine I could think of off hand. And yeah, no Rush or Jethro Tull 'cause this is a metal site, right? My personal vote goes to Black Lake Nidst�ng (Shadow of Our Pale Companion was 15 seconds too short). Interested to see what the majority has to say about this one; maybe Opeth won't win a pole for once... |

Had to go for I, absolutely perfect. Though I'm not so sure why you shun Rush from metal when you have a Porcupine Tree song on the poll.  Would have also voted for Tulimyrski/J��st� Syntynyt by Moonsorrow.  ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore.

| Well, I mean Anesthetize has some pretty heavy riffs in it, the "epic" Rush songs I can't really make an excuse for metal. >.> And yeah, don't listen to Moonsorrow; knew I would leave out someone's beloved epics! |

No disrespect man, it's a good poll. There's no way you'd be able to list all the epics. Good poll anyway, welcome to MMA! ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

| Wow, quite a bit of submissions, thanks all! And yeah, sorry for missing some of your epics; I sometimes don't have as much musical knowledge as I'd like to. I'll check 'em later, I do enjoy the epics! Hoping that even if you didn't find your favorite, there's still a song that you enjoy. Also surprised at the lack of votes for Second Life Syndrome, almost chose that song...maybe I should have; ah well! Hope that you guys are enjoying the poll and I appreciate all the responses. |

Damn, good list. I was going to say Crimson, but honestly.....have to go with Black Lake Nidstang. When I really lay back and absorb that song, it is other worldly. An amazing experience. I love Crimson, I, and Black Rose Immortal but just doesn't compare to the power of that song! ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

| Octavarium is probably Dream Theater's best song, even if I'm not a fan of the album. |

| Light of Day, Day of Darkness from the list. I'm a big of both PT and Riverside but for me Anesthetize and Second Life Syndrome I don't consider metal, but prog. |

That list is too hard!  Yes there are plenty more but man, been thinking about it for awhile and cant decide .The only 2 I dont know at all are: Agalloch Triptykon . . . but have "heard" of them. ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

May I suggest Agalloch and Triptykon, then?  Very good bands.-------------

. . . and so I heard the darkness that seeped through my ears with tar entering my soul with its bitterness in the wake of benevolent depressionistic painted starkness. . . . Jeez, I like Celtic Frost but (Thomas Warrior)Fischer has gone into "None more Black" territory that makes me want to paint my walls in charcoal black! Not something I'd listen to on a regular basis as sometimes music can suck the air out of the room (and me!). Most of the time I need music as a "Light" because my Job is usually creative and I need to be on my game, and sometimes the work can be tedious . . . the mood I'm in as of now with this work . . . I'd take a stage dive onto a Stake  .Dark music can be really creative and musical, but for me, that kind of starkness can be very depressive and my life needs "life" right now. -No disrespect to those who like Triptykon. . . . Usually I'm not creating Hieronymus Bosch type paintings .Now Agalloch- This was a bit more easy to listen to, with its familiar sounds of Arcturus, Ulver, and the like. But again, I have to be in a mood to listen to this type of Metal, though I like it very much. Music is something I take pretty seriously and is a "Mood setter" and usually I'm doing my Art and listening to music, as it may help in the creative process. So sometimes it depends what I'm drawing-that will dictate what I need to hear. But saying all that, Agalloch has some beautiful atmospheric parts throughout .------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

| From this list, either Crimson or I, but where the hell is The Odyssey (by Symphony X)? |

Probably in the "whoops, missed that one!" list I keep. -------------

For me Crimson by Edge of Sanity. Light of Day, Day of Darkness, Second Life Syndrome and Octavarium are also great. The rest I do not know and the PT tune I don�t like. |

Block, that avy is pure win! While my pick from this list was Black Lake Nidstang, the best 15+ min metal song IMO is The Odyssey, by Symphony X. Surprise right? Though this is a great list. Black Rose Immortal, I, Crimson...all brilliant. I really like all the songs here except The Prolonging and LoD, DoD and I've never heard those Awesome list here.------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament.

Aw, you're missing "The Odyssey" by Symphony X! Oh well, gotta go with DT then.
