1. The Moor 2. The Drapery Falls 3. When 4. Hessian Peel after that, I cant decide. Master's Apprentices, Black Rose Immortal, Hope Leaves, Heir Apparent, and The Baying of the Hounds are all up there. |

Are we limited to one per album? If not 1. Godhead's Lament (One of my favorite songs ever, I love the "Swedish Circus From Hell" lead riffs, and it has some of their best clean vocal hooks as well) 2. Ghost Of Perdition ("Keeper of oreos... KEEPER OF ORREEEEOOOOS!") 3. Moonlapse Vertigo (Combines the melodic and aggressive elements very well, and has one of the most brutal moments Opeth have ever written) 4. Heir Apparent (Has a very "Still Life" feel to it, but combines it with their modern sound in an awesome way) 5. Face Of Melinda (My favorite "melodic" song, I adore the lyrics, and I love the way they end such a beautiful song with a heavy instrumental section. The first time I heard it I really didn't see it coming) I'm a big Still Life fan. I feel kinda guilty only including songs from three albums, as they have so much great material on all of their albums. But since this is only a Top 5, my favorite Opeth album dominates the list. -------------

don't know what order but Bleak Ghost of Perdition The Drapery Falls The Lotus Eater Godhead's Lament agreeing with Mr. Hood, the vocal hook (and the harmonized guitar that does it beforehand) make Godhead's Lament awesome -------------

Hmm, this is very thought-provoking. I guess my list is something like this: When The Moor The Leper Affinity Ghost of Perdition Hessian Peel Honorable mention to Godhead's Lament, The Baying of the Hounds, Heir Apparent, and The Lotus Eater. Heh, I just scrolled up and realized I have the same exact list as el bothy. He has good taste! -------------

I'm surprised no one put Blackwater Park yet  it has the best riff Opeth ever wrote on it. But this is a tough one.. In no apparent order: Blackwater Park Face of Melinda To Bid You Farewell A Fair Judgement Master's Apprentice This however, changes a lot... |

I thought about putting that one; it was hard. I'd say that's easily #6 for me.  -------------

Yeah, it used to be my favorite hands down...then that acoustic part in the middle just dragged for a while, I still love it though -------------

Interesting you should mention White Cluster and Epilogue. They are bizzarrely underated in the Opeth world, whilst White Cluster has some of Lopez's best moments and Epilogue has some astonishly good guitar. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

NO ONE'S MENTIONED "FOREST OF OCTOBER" YET!!!??? It's and awesome song, admit it! |

Yeah. I like Epilogue the most of theirs, oddly. It's just...so good. I wanted to have something from Still Life in there, but can't really get into most of the middle tracks...only the beginning and ending ones strike a deafening chord with me. But that riff in White Cluster (the harmony octave riff thing) is just gruesomely good. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

5 is a bit difficult. I say this with all list threads, but it's true. So as of right now, here is what comes to mind:
Ghost of Perdition
The Leper Affinity
Windowpane
The Lotus Eater
Hours of Wealth
That last one never seems to get much recognition, but I think it is one of the most beautiful songs they've done and features some ridiculously tasty and heartfelt guitar work. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

One of my favourite bands 01: The Baying of the Honds
02: Godhead's Lament
03: The Night and the Silent Water (Live) (the mellotrons and synths of the live version make this song one of the most melancholic and beautiful expiriences of all my life)
04: The Leper Affinity
05: Serenity Painted Death (just so much BRUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Still life is one of my favourite records but I was a little bit dissapointed with watershed (thats why no watershed in my list).
There is really no band like OPETH!!!!!!!
