Some albums are really good. Many of these are good all the way around. And, in many cases, there is a single song that stands out, sometimes it's the last song on the album. This is a list of those songs.

For a more in depth look at this, I've codified each into a given category:
Type 1 - 'The long song at the end.' Often the title track. These have a tendency to be most well written and dynamic pieces on the album.

1.!T.O.O.H.! - Order And Punishment (Řád A Trest)

2.Abigail Williams - Becoming

3.Agalloch - The Mantle

4.Amon Amarth - Versus The World

When I first heard a Dream Theater song I said to myself "OMG!THIS IS MAGIC".It was this year with their brand-new album A Dramatic Turn Of Events,so I have not been a fan for a long time.It was pretty difficult for me to put their albums in a specific order because I love all of them.

I'll start with the disclaimer that I am not, nor ever have been, a musician. This list is of my own favorite performers, not the actual technical best musicians as I am a layman and can only go by what my stupid ears tell me. You'll notice the list is vocalist heavy which is a byproduct of my lack of musical talent. The list contains the artist, their instrument and the release where I feel they are at their best. **Last Update 08/16/11**

1.Symphony X - The Odyssey

2.Septicflesh - Communion

3.Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite

4.Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black Progress

5.Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy

I'm putting off "The Top 20 Albums Ever" list I was going to make this week a little bit longer. Instead I'll make another list of the 5 best songs of the week.

1.Allen/Lande - The Battle

2.At Vance - No Escape

3.Chthonic - Takasago Army

4.Dream Theater - Octavarium

5.Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition

This is a list of the top songs over 10 minutes long in my humble opinion. I had to resist the urge not to put every single Symphony X, Opeth and Agalloch song over 10 minutes long on the list so some of equally high quality are left off to increase diversity. Songs are sorted by approximate preference with #1 inspiring the list. I love long songs so if you know a good one please send me a message and I'll give it a listen. **Last Update 09/03/2011**

1.Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness

2.Gorod - Transcendence

3.Symphony X - The Odyssey

4.Opeth - Ghost Reveries
