By the way, I don't think you'll be able to download the two Virgil Warner & Suzi Jane Hokom songs, as I think they were never released on a cd. It's from an LP simply called "Virgil Warner & Suzi Jane Hokom" released by LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) in 1968 I think.
The songs I posted are also my top 15 songs of all time!

Yep, Bleak is easily one of my favourite Opeth tracks. The intro, the false ending going into the melowest part ever, the mad final ending (THAT was awesome live). I was dissapointed they didnt play it live in London last time, but they did at x-mas

A-HAHAHA!
Bleak is probably the best song on BWP, but BWP (the song) runs it close. The intro is one of my favourite passages of music, and I actually learnt to play it today. 
When I get sick and have a fever I always have these weird dreams that are just tedious and puzzling. This Thursday (Tyr's Day) I had a fever of 103 degrees F and I had such a messed-up dream...but in the background the "Devious moments in your eyes..." part of Bleak was playing in the background. That kicked ass.
Bleak kicks ASS!

Bleak is a good song, but I definately like The Drapery Falls and Blackwater Park more.
It's really hard to fault Blackwater Park (the song). It's intention is to be a total riff fest, and that it is, so you can't fault it on being repetitive since that's the aim of riffs. It's not intended to be mellow, but it still has it's passages, so that's a few bonus points... etc. etc.

I must agree
they more you listen to the album, the more you realize that blackwater park is the best song on the album, at least taht's what i think.
gah i can't decide

I have slightly lost my grip on Bleak. Not that it wouldn't be good song, but I remember it being a GREAT song, but I no longer feel that way. Hope it's just a matter of time I'll discover it again, as happened with Black Rose Immortal.

Oh well, I stick by it though. It's the song that got me into Opeth and it's probably my favourite 'metal' track of all time.

hmm yeah, I suppose, but I would've thought since The Drapery Falls is so epic, it would've made a better final track... then again, I dunno.
