Honestly the entire Damnation album.  But my favorite from it is Weakness. Beside that I would say Face Of Melinda.

Mikael uses is clean voice well. Of the slow ones I picked "In My Time of Need". There is something so haunting about it.

Aww they're all so good. I voted for Harvest though, because it has this awesome atmosphere, although it was a close race with To Bid You Farewell.

Coil is sooo beautiful. Mikael's singing is already infamously great but then he got accompanied by that that chick whose name slipped away from me for a moment and that made Coil win this poll 
---- What a tackastrophe!

Out of the very few Opeth songs I can stand, I do like the song Burden alot, mostly due to the sweet keyboard solo and Mike's voice sounds very good on this one.

It's really hard to decide... if Weakness from Damnation was on this list I'd pick it in a heartbeat. That song is so spine-chilling.

This one is extremely hard since I love all of these songs, however Hours of Wealth I remember hitting home pretty well. I recall being in a hotel room in New York City last year looking out the window, seeing the hustle and bustling of people and cars below, and I was listening to this song at the time. The beautifully jazzy song really set the mood for the scene I was watching below and the moment just felt so right for the song to be played. I didn't even tell myself to play the song at the time, it just happened naturally and spontaneously. It was picture - perfect.

Of course Harvest would be at the top. Not surprising at all, since it's a great song and most people's favorite acoustic Opeth song. Still, while I love every song on this list, I have a thing for Coil. Something special about it. I totally want that song played at my funeral, especially if I have an untimely death. It's all about what happens when you shuffle off this mortal coil: "When I get out of here, when I leave you behind, I'll find that the years passed us by... And I can see you, running through the fields of sorrow..."

The lack of Burden on that list makes me nervous.

Windowpane has such great ambience especially when you're listening with headphones. I'm a drummer so I love the the intricacies and subtleties of the drumming coupled with the emotive guitar notes and vocals. This actually describes my feelings toward the entire Damnation album.

Benighted gets my vote. It's a beautiful song that has grown more precious to me over time just as my appreciation for it has, likewise, increased. I will note, however, that I didn't consider songs from Damnation or the last two in this poll since those are basically "slow" and "clean" albums all together making it difficult to get any sense of contrast.

Needs more Damnation, Windowpane isn't the only great song from the album.

I still think Credence is one of the best things they've ever done, but I'm weird like that.
