Very good discussion folks!


I ended up burning the 2 cd one I came up with at the end of page 1.

It is tough as to fit the songs on each cd so that it just squeeks under 80 minute each is very tough.

 

[maneatingbrick]

Disk 1:

1.Advent (13:45)
2.When (9:14)
3.Masters aprentices (10:32)
4.Harvest (6:01)
5.Under the weeping moon (9:53)

(Total - 79:12)

Disk 2:

1.Forest of october (13:04)
2.Godheads lament (9:48)
3.The drapery falls (10:54)
4.The baying of the hounds (10:41)

6.Heir apparent (8:50)
7.Deliverance (13:36)
8.Demon of the fall (6:13)

(Total - 80:59)

Ah close enough.

 

[epihasi]

CD 1

1.Nectar - for the contrast of brutality and beauty (nothing beats nectar after 6.00 minutes)
2.To bid you Farewell (one of the most emotional and embracing mellow songs ever. period.
3.Forest of October (epic as shit)
4.The Twilight is my Robe (breathtaking)
5.April Ethereal (this need no explanation)
6.Credence (see above)
7.The Moor (Probably Opeth's greatest opener)
8Serenity Painted Death (shows off Opeth's ability to also write more brutal and "catchy" songs)

approx. 80 minutes for cd 1


CD 2

1.Harvest (another one to show off opeth's mellow side, i'd put the lamentations version on, give 'em a taste of per's genius)
2.Blackwater Park (in my opinion some of mike's best growls)
3.A fair Judgement (jawdroppingly sexy shit)
4.Deliverance (make their fucking heads explode with the one of the best outros ever)
5.Baying of the hounds (filled with great riffs and superb growls)
6.Ghost of Perdition (all of Opeth's best qualities in one song)
7.Epilogue (great ending of 2 great cds)

Around 66 minutes.

my 2 cents

 

[Slayer101]

Why no Damnation?

Anyway, ignoring that rule, this would be what I'd give to people wanting to hear some Opeth...

1) Ghost of Perdition
2) Bleak
3) Harvest
4) Deliverance
5) Face of Melinda
6) The Drapery Falls
7) When
8) The Leper Affinity
9) A Fair Judgment
10) To Rid The Disease
11) Demon of the Fall
12) Burden
13) Windowpane
14) Hessian Peel
15) Isolation Years

Actually I probably wouldn't make a compilation at all. I'd just lend them a copy of whatever CD I'd think they'd like the most based on their music taste in general.

That list totally blows, no songs from Orchid or Morningrise?
