Favorite OPETH ballad

[Strange Brew]

Not on the list but I have to go for To Rid The Disease. It has the most beautiful chorus of any Opeth song ever (imo anyway). Pity they didnt do the backing vocals when they played it live but it was still awesome.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

Face of Melinda and Harvest.

 

[BlackLodge]

Why isn't 'Burden' among those songs?

 

[Annihilat0r]

1. I don't think Facial of Melinda and TBYF are ballads
2. It's nearly impossible to update this thread because of the Damnation album

With FoM and TBYF gone, my favorite Opeth ballad is Isolation Years.

 

[Sexy_Grandpa]

Hah I was about to say 'Where is Burden, Isolation Years, Atonement, Hours of Wealth, the Entire Damnation album, A Fair Judgement??? Then I saw the date. Haha!

Urgh... I'm not one of those people who absolutely have to know exactly what note of which part of which track of which album of which band of which genre of which era I absolutely positively like the very very best.

I could not decide which one is the best. I could write a very long post about which songs fits to the best moods and occasions for me personally. Suffice it to say they're all well within my 'superb' treshold. I won't vote.

Well said.

 

[Depth Perception]

To Bid you Farewell is the classic

 

[Dammnare]

Harvest is undoubtedly the best song made on Earth.

 

[grey knight]

Not yet have I got into Credence completely, but so far my favorites are Hours of Wealth and Harvest.

Edit: I just noticed, To bid you farevel pwns both!

 

[Korlich]

FoM no contest, TBYF is only semi interesting live.

 

[hexwind]

To bid farewell.The first Opeth song i've ever heard, and at that time i thought Opeth plays only that kinda music, and then i listened to When...and u can imagine how that screaming thing smashed my face lol.
And all those songs are awesome !!!

 

[Lilith Bloodshed]

Harvest, but don't understand why a cover and forget Isolation Years (I would vote it) and Burden

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Benighted. When I first heard it, I couldn't belive it was even Opeth. Such a masterpiece of a song.

 

[Jaikkuli]

Hard to decide really, most of them have been my fav at one point, but I think I have to go with Harvest because it is certainly my fav overall Opeth song at this particular moment.

rofl ty for letting me notice >_< /blush

 

[Luann]

[BriGreentea]

None of those...so I voted for nothing. Personally, I don't think Face of Belinda is a ballad because of the end but whatever.

Closure is my favorite ballad...one of the best Opeth songs period.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

TBYF is a good song, but laughably over-rated. You guys just like it because it's the longest song of all the options.
