Hope Leaves, Moonlapse Vertigo and (at least by members of this board) The Grand Conjuration.

 

[The_Yeti]

After seeing the Morningrise thread, I'd have to say Nectar.

That song is definitely the weakest of the five. But then again, those other four songs are pretty amazing. The slap bass part at the end of Nectar is pretty sweet though.

 

[antipunx13]

I don't know, that song has always been my favorite on Morningrise...especially the clean parts.

 

[AnTz0r]

BTPISIO obviously

 

[Scourge of Malice]

hope leavs,dirge for november and the moor needs more atention

umm, "The Moor" won the elimination poll for favorite Opeth song on this board.

But I'll join in and say "Dirge for November". Its a really powerful and emotional song. People seem to hate on it because it only has a few riffs, but that's actually why I like it. It sticks out as something different for them.

 

[Blind Guardian]

i agree, i can see why many people think that song is boring, i thought so to at first. but it´s a really good song once you get into that kinda apathic feeling the song has. apathic in a good way

 

[tchocky]

Definitely Dirge For November, I'd also say Moonlapse.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Moonlapse Vertigo

 

[annt]

White Cluster

bubbling under: Dirge and Wreath.... though they seem to be everything but underrated at least according to this thread

Most "true" Opeth fans hate it because it was the single, imho

[songless]

rofl. you are all wrong. the amen corner it is

Exactly, amazing song.

 

[VitalAmarth]

Without question by the pain i see in others. Its the best song off their best album and is the least talked about track on Deliv. I mean, good lord, that part at 3:33 is probably the best lead ive heard in my life

Btw, i was told this was Mikael least fav. opeth song, which absolutely baffles me. but i was told by another that his least fav., along with mendez, is the night and silent water. can sum1 plz clear this up?
thx

Moonlapse Vertigo and April Ethereal definately, A Fair Judgement doesnt seem to get much attention either, despite the immense soloing. Epilogue is a definate too, amazing song but ignored by most.
