I don't recall seeing this as a poll here before so when looking back at my one-two-punch song post (and resurrecting it), I figured I'd do the back-to-back albums thing as a poll.

It's very simple! I'm willing to bet Option 2 gets the most votes, then probably Option 5 the next most number of votes. Guess we'll see...

Silver Tears

Hmm I went with Images And Words + Awake though Scenes From A Memory + Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence is pretty close.

I'm betting option #5 is a close second.

Option 5 with option 2 not far behind.

Actually, I made remixes of "Finally Free" and "The Glass Prison" where the former ends right at the needle scratching and the latter begins with static. I also did one of "In The Name Of God" where the last note (the low F played with Jordan's nose) is actually the first note of "The Root Of All Evil". The fade-out/fade-in of SDOIT into "As I Am" stays the same, so I didn't touch that. But I have all those tracks in a playlist on my iPod, so I have had a 4-album marathon before... it's a pretty epic 315 minutes of awesome.

Images And Words / Awake. That was fairly easy.

As much as I love I&W, I went with SFAM + 6DOIT.

Although I&W + Awake is a great combo too.

SDOIT + ToT   That transition is cool...otherwise I'd probably go with SC + BC&SL :D

My favourite albums are IAW, SDOIT and Octavarium. All three of 'em worthy of the top spot, never quite sure who to give it to at any given time.

So it'd be one of them, paired with Dream and Day, Awake, Scenes, Train of Thought, or Systematic Chaos.

Out of those five... Awake and Scenes, while not bad albums, don't quite do it for me, Dream and Day is Dream and Day, so it was between TOT-OVM or OVM-SC.

I'm outlining my decision process simply 'cause I'm really surprised that it's Octavarium / Systematic Chaos, too. A little flabbergasted, actually, I keep looking for other combos, but no. My favourites seem to be fairly broadly split across the discography. So OVM / SC it is! Don't know why I'm so surprised, they're both superb albums. Just never realised that my top four (add FII into the mix) were so far away from one another.

Scenes From A Memory + Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence

SDoIT/ToT

Followed by I&W/Awake and SFaM/SDoIT.

I'm surprised I&W/Awake isn't running away with this poll. Maybe I shouldn't be, but I am.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

It's an 11% lead over SFAM/6DOIT.  We've already established that those 4 are the favorite four of the board, so I'm not surprised.

I listened to all of DT's albums back-to-back once, so yes.  ;D

LudwigVan

It's real close, but SFAM > SDOIT

then I&W > Awake

then WDADU > I&W
