One question

[The Wooden Doors]

Yeah, Opeth aren't a good Best Of band.
But if it would have to be a ten track compilation...

(In no particular order)

The Moor
Bleak
The Night and the Silent Water
When
The Drapery Falls
Serenity Painted Death
Windowpane
Advent
Forest of October
Ghost of Perdition

 

[Requiem960]

Mine would be the entire My Arms album + one other song! Although, that wouldn't be possible... So here's my 'doable' top ten:

1. The Moor
2. When
3. April Ethereal
4. The Twilight is My Robe
5. The Night and Silent Water
6. The Apostle in Triumph
7. White Cluster
8. Ghost of Perdition
9. The Lotus Eater
10. Demon of the Fall

 

[Vega Skater]

The Best of Opeth

1. The Moor
2. Godhead's Lament
3. Benighted
4. Moonlapse Vertigo
5. Face of Melinda
6. Serenity Painted Death
7. White Cluster

[Albatros]

I think a "Greatest Hits" album would fit Opeth better!

 

[HoursOfDebt]

how about opeths "greatest growls" cd? that would own.

?

 

[Korlich]

If I had to chose only 10 opeth songs for a compilation:

1. Apostle
2. BRI
3. When
4. Godsheads
5. White cluster
6. Drapery
7. Deliverance
8. Clousure
9. GoP
10. TLE

This record is not nesecarely Opeth best but gives a vague idea about their capabilities.

SHIT THREAD

 

[Absolute_Steel]

I express regret if there is another thread like this one and if it is, please delete this thread.
Ok, now the question:

Would you like Opeth to release a "Best of" album?

Thanks.

It's called Damnation

 

[Absolute_Steel]

Nah. Feels too mainstream to me. Roadrunner might convince them to do something of the like if they feel the last album in the contract is going bad. But then there's legal rights etcetera. Anyway I don't think Opeth are popular enough to warrant a best of album, even if fans want it.

Yeah you're right, Opeth isn't mainstream enough for that yet. Direct support to Dream Theater, many successful headlining tours, signed to the bigest metal record label in the WORLD, Headbanger's Ball all the time, hot topic poseurs in their shirts...they aren't mainstream at all.
