let's make "the best of opeth" cd?

[Ecto]

imagine all opeth guys died in a airplane accident...due to the band's end, MFN and other labels decided to make "the best of opeth" cd...
so, which songs should be in the track list in your opinion?...remember that it should be a single cd and it can't be more than 79:55 length...ah, don't forget to give a title for the cd!

 

[Manbient]

crikey... i've tried to do this MANY times when making CD's for people to check out Opeth.... i usually end up doing one mellow one and one heavier one, BUT then after i decide the tracks and what to put on them, after i burn them i realize what i missed... Every time i decide to make mix discs for people they end up different because i can't decide on the TRUE "best" songs hehe

 

[Ecto]

ehehehee...the same happens here...at the end i think "fuck, this song should be there too..."
but there's a solution: just burn the cd with mp3 files, so that we can fit ALL opeth songs and that's allright...

: o )

 

[x_0PETH_x]

yeah....i agree with the MP3 thing...like 6 hours of music and we they can charge like 25 bucks (nobody will even care about the price)

 

[Ecto]

it'll be just a kick in the ass to put in particular order all the songs!

 

[Bloody B]

couldn't you make it a six cd pack?

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

I made one just to listen to here at work. I wouldn't exactly say ALL of these are my favorite tracks by them, but I love them all...Besides that, with the length of their songs, and the fact that they have so many that I love, it would be impossible for me to put them all on one 80 minute disc! Here are the ones I put on my"Opethian Love" mix:

1. The Funeral Portrait
2. Masters Apprentices
3. The Twilight Is My Robe
4. Black Rose Immortal
5. When
6. White Cluster
7. Bleak
   [/list=1]
   
   That is all that will fit on an 80 minute CD!

 

[The Evil Toucan]

If I had to pick one song from each album to make up a greatest hits I'd pick:

The Apostle in Triumph
To Bid You Farewell
Demon of the Fall
The Moor
Bleak
A Fair Judgement

 

[jester00]

i still reckon release a fucking dvd!

 

[Stormrider586]

1. Demon of the Fall
2. The Drapery Falls
3. A Fair Judgement
4. The Funeral Portrait
5. Black Rose Immortal
6. April Ethereal
7. To Bid You Farewell

 

[DarkHawk]

Id put

1. The Apostle in Truimph
2. The Night and the Silent Water
3. Black Rose Immortal
4. GodHeads Lament
5. Harvest
6. Demon of the Fall
7. A Fair Judgement

 

[elm lateral]

[Static]

1. The Twilight is My Robe
2. Black Rose Immortal
3. When
4. The Moor
5. Moonlapse Vertigo
6. The Drapery Falls
7. Master's Apprentices

Couldnt have said it better myself

 

[Gimmickless]

"In Mist Stands Deliverance"

When
Face of Melinda
Twilight Is My Robe
Harvest
Drapery Falls (trust me, these guys belong hand in hand)
Requiem
A Fair Judgement
Demon Of The Fall
To Bid You Farewell

9 tracks, a little over 74 minutes.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

"The Triumphant Apostles - The best of Opeth"

1. Forest Of October
2. To Bid You Farewell
3. Demon Of The Fall
4. The Moor
5. Face Of Melinda
6. The Drapery Falls
7. Wreath
8. By The Pain I See In Others

Its an impossible task

 

[forest of october]

Black Rose Immortal should be on there but it takes up too much room. We'll make it a 2-CD set and it'll be on the second CD! hah.

Not including that song, I'd say:

The Twilight is My Robe
Nectar
When
Demon of the Fall
White Cluster
Bleak
Deliverance
A Fair Judegment


That wouldn't fit I don't think. But you'll just have to deal with it.
