Tough one. Wish I could help, but I find that it's hard to break individual songs from their respective albums. In other words, Buechner's, Bibleland and Doppelganger tend not to mix together well (for me).

I go with album moods.


Posted by Mountain Fan on 03-13-2008 at20:59:

 

I have a hard enough time trying to put the albums in my favorite order, much less the songs. Red Face Big Grin

Here's my current thinking on their main original releases:
Darn Floor Big Bite
Mr. Buechner's Dream
Songs of the Heart / WEWH Bookset
Bibleland
Motorcycle
Kalhoun
Doppelganger
Alarma
Horrendous Disc
Shotgun Angel
Daniel Amos
Vox Humana
Fearful Symmetry

For me just about everything after shotgun angel was so much noise. I've been unable to return my discs. My favourite song was "Meal" except for the sound effects.

I'm with Dunphy. I'd rather pick my twenty favorite DA albums.


Posted by PuP on 03-14-2008 at00:07:

 

P.S. I still have nightmares about the "Survivor" polls!

Frown

I don't think that PTSD will ever go away.


Posted by ftg3plus4 on 03-14-2008 at09:29:

 

I can't really do this either. I'd have to do it in terms of best songs from the variouis albums, but said albums tend to be very even in quality, whether that quality be good (most of their albums) or bad (their self-titled debut).

There is only one album I can pick one definite "best" song from: "Shadow Catcher" from FEARFUL SYMMETRY. Why is that song not on anyone's list? (Note that FS songs are missing entirely from 2 of the 3 lists actually given so far.)


Posted by ladrtrk55 on 03-14-2008 at09:50:

 

I can't split the "Alarma Chronicles". Has to be taken in concept.


Besides, I'm getting grey and stooped waiting for the movie....
