Best 5 Devin Townsend Tracks!!
There are few artists who capture the essence of experimental/post metal than our heavy devy. I agree that his albums have to be listened to in their entirety to gain full value but I thought it would be interesting to see what people think concerning his best moments in prog.
For me I have to choose from these albums (have not heard latest I will admit):
Accelerated Evolution - Deadhead
Terria - Earth Day, Tiny Tears
and
Ziltoid The Omniscient - Hyperdrive, By Your Command
Your choice now... -------------

Infinity - Bad Devil Ocean Machine - Regulator Ziltoid - Solar Winds Terria - Canada Physicist - Namaste The 30 second appearance on Ayreon's Loser is also absolutely brilliant, but too short to be counted as a proper track. ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

Funeral Life is all dynamics b*****d sister (live) down and under Tiny Tears Earth day / Canada too hard to pick and i feel like i left too much out (particularly the shorter songs) but these are what came to mind. I absolutely LOVE that live version of sister. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/KeiserWillhelm" rel="nofollow - What im listening to |

In no particular order... 1. Earth Day - Terria 2. By Your Command - Ziltoid 3. Color Your World - Ziltoid 4. Heaven Send - Ki 5. (Because I have to throw this in given how epic it is) Skeksis - SYL's Alien 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.   -------------

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. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

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. |

^ 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... |

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.
