All Inclusive Snapshot In Time Top 5 DT Picks

[emtee]

Inspired by my Sunday night watching of When Dream And Day Reunite. I was floored by how fantastic that show was.

Anyways, for this question, anything that DT has ever released in a physical format qualifies. Official bootleg series, live releases, studio...you get the point.

At this moment in time, right now, what are your top 5 picks.

Mine;

A Dramatic Turn Of Events
Live Scenes From New York

Interesting question.  My top five studio albums are SFAM > I&W > SDOIT > Awake > 8VM.  For me, the top 2 non-studio album releases, by a LONG shot are the LSFNY and Score DVDs (I own the LSFNY album but rarely listen to it, and I don't own the Score album).  I prefer LSFNY.  Score was a great performance (esp. the stuff with the orchestra), but it was a relatively mediocre set list.  Without thinking about it too much, I think LSFNY could potentially squeak in ahead of Awake or maybe even SDOIT.

I don't know if it's a desert island question. I took it as what where the most impactful releases as they came out.


For me, I'd go...

Images & Words
Scenes From A Memory
Live At Budokan
A Dramatic Turn Of Events

I know it's not 5, but those were the truly landmark releases for me.

The Twelve Step Suite... for a variety of reasons. But most of all, because it's so beautifully arranged.
