What's with everyone bumping year old threads lately
I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

1. Earth Day - Terria
2. Color Your World - Ziltoid
3. The Mighty Masturbator - Deconstruction

To be honest, after that it's pretty difficult for me to choose.  Probably Canada and The Greys, but not totally sure.  Those are the big three, though.

^ Most doesn't like it at first, but any proper fan should get it.

I know Terria is the classic hard to beat, but in my case, Ki is his record I listen the most... I find it deeper, darker and more beautiful than any other of his works.
This is not my beautiful house...

I'd go with

1. Deadhead (Accelerated Evolution)
2. Funeral (Ocean Machine)
3. Deep Peace (Terria)
4. Noisy Pink Bubbles (Infinity)
5. Ki (Ki)

Don't really know... Feel like I should list about 50 songs instead of 5.

I don't know all of his solo material yet, and while I really like the Project albums as a whole, the earlier ones are still a bit too varying in quality. But that's just a case of not listening to them quite enough, I believe. But the absolute masterpieces are easy to find:

1. Earth Day (Terria)
2. Deep Peace (Terria)
3. Supercrush! (Addicted)
4. Deadhead (Accelerated Evolution)
5. Terminal (Ki)

Some really great ones were left out.
It's on PA!

Although if we're only talking about Devy songs on PA, I would probably replace it with Notes from Africa.

It's so hard to pick from my favorite artist. CryLOL
 
 
Great choices - I am getting Ki soon - and you have peaked my interest in it again.
