Humm. I love every clean songs from Opeth.. the Damnation album and all the others. But when I heard the song Burden from the new album for the first time, I actually cried at the 2nd solo... Yeah I know very lame, but what can I say? I myself don't even know why, but it's one of the most beautiful melodies I've heard. Well, there's no Burden on the poll so I'll vote for the 2nd best. To Bid You Farewell.

Written by Dark Blood on 14.10.2008 at 06:37 Not that lame, Burden is one of their best songs ever EDIT: I noticed BloodTears has made a post that is almost the same, I swear I didn't see it, even the smile is the same

Written by Dark Blood on 14.10.2008 at 06:37 //Yeah sorry i should've made an "other" option for songs like Burden. Isn't it crazy though when you listen to a beautiful song like Burden or Benighted and then a brutal song like Wreath comes on and you think, man i can't believe this is the same band! They are scary good musicians  //

Written by Metal_Militia on 15.10.2008 at 06:02 Yeah, you're right. Isn't that what a good musician is all about? Being creative. Being able to combine all diferent styles together without messing all up. Changes of tempos, good themed lyrics, and so on... I guess that's why I respect musicians like Mikael, and Arjen Lucassen so much. It's guys like them that make me proud of being a metal fan

I guess every single song from Damnation could have a place at the top songs.. or maybe the whole Damnation album as just 1 song

...it was hard to pick between in my time of need & harvest, but i'd say in my time of need...plus, the lyrics are amazing...

Written by BloodTears on 16.10.2008 at 21:01 I just love the atmosphere that Opeth created with that song. The melodies...Mikaels voice...the drumming....its all just amazing. I think its also one of the first Opeth songs I ever listened to.

Benighted to me is the greatest from the poll options. That song is just so hauntingly beautiful. But also, all of those songs are just great.

Don't know all of them yet, but my favorite is easily 'in my time of need'. Beautiful rhythmic work with the voice, which I only knew of J.M. Keenan so far.

My vote from this list is for Harvest i love that song, interesting lyrics vocals and music. Coil is also worth a mention although i believe and 'Other' options needs to be on this list. 'Death Whispered a Lullaby' is by far my favorite lyrics and ballad of Opeth.

I'm also missing "Death Whispered A Lullaby" or at least an "other" option. From that list I voted for "Face Of Melinda", a great song of a great band

Well, i had to vote for Harvest, but don't know why, i had like 10 minutes thinking the answer, for me are tied Harvest, Windowpane, Closure, To Bid You Farewell and Hours OF Wealth. I realizaed no one has voted for Hours Of Wealth, weird, this songs expresses too much, and when i listen to the music i feel Opeth chosses the perfect name for that song.

I guess I'm the minority, only me and another person think Benighted is the best. Hey, I stick by it.

Out of these, i choose Windowpane. However, if it were on here i would choose Hope Leaves. that's my favorite "slow"-peth song.

I just love the guitar on coil. Other songs are probably better, but the guitaring is just brilliant
