The Moor? Better than When and TBYF? You've gotta be kidding me...I'm voting against Bleak, it's the weakest out of the list (and shouldn't of made it to this round) but The Moor is the most overrated out of the bunch.
 
I've given When a few more listens and it has grown a lot on me. I like the solo which is somewhere near the middle of that song, and the ending is great as well. But I still think April Ethereal > When.

@ Azogue, for a while I loved The Moor much more than When. I think why everyone at one point or another falls in love with When (and all of MAYH) is because the song never gets old. Whereas Bleak, The Moor, The Drapery Falls, etc lose some of thehir charm after a while and they become fabricated. When and the rest of MAYH will always be enjoyable at its fullest.

I just wish more people would cross over to this stage. :D

Precisely. When is a far better song, The Moor is just catchier and has that great riff. I adored it, but I got quite bored of it. There isn't enough in the song for me. Granted, it's the best song on Still Life, but MAYH is in a different class to that album. Still Life has those bits where you think 'that's just brilliant' or 'mm, beautiful'. My Arms Your Hearse never stops being brilliant or beautiful at any point. Still Life's song structure is too polished for me as well. I've had When for longer. I've listened to When more. I still love When far more.

Bleak is by far one of the worst off BWP. After relistening to The Funeral Portrait hundreds of times, it goes like this: The Leper Affinity (one of the top 10 Opeth songs), The Funeral Portrait, Bleak, The Drapery Falls, Blackwater Park. Sadly the last three are far from the best ever Opeth songs. I haven't included Harvest for whatever reason. I just didn't.

1. The Leper Affinity
-----------------------
2. The Funeral Portrait
3. Blackwater Park
-------------------------
4. Bleak
----------------------------
5. The Drapery Falls
6. Dirge for November
7. Harvest
 
WyldeBill speaks the truth. It seems our constant bitching has worked GoD. :D

ANd I agree totally with what you said about Still Life and MAYH. I love every Opeth album, but the first three, especially MAYH and Morningrise, are absolutely brilliant. I never get tired of them. Every moment spent listening to any song off those albums is a great moment.

Oh, and since I think this is really fun:

ORCHID
1 - Forest of October
2 - In Mist She Was Standing
3 - Under the Weeping Moon
4/5 - The Apostle in Triumph, The Twilight is My Robe (these two just haven't sunk in yet, unfortunately)

MORNINGRISE
1 - Black Rose Immortal (:notworthy)
2 - The Night and the Silent Water (almost as good as BRI)
3 - To Bid You Farewell
4 - Advent
5 - Nectar (sadly, not a very good song)

MAYH
1 - April Ethereal
2 - When (although When is slowly becoming better than April)
3 - Demon of the Fall
4 - The Amen Corner
5 - Karma
6 - Credence (just because I like Karma more)

STILL LIFE (this is gonna be wild, I still have to give it a few more good listens)
1 - The Moor
2 - Serenity Painted Death
3/4 - Godhead's Lament, White Cluster
5 - Moonlapse Vertigo
6 - Face of Melinda
7 - Benighted

BWP
1 - The Leper Affinity (GODLY)
2 - Funeral Portrait
3 - Bleak
4/5 - The Drapery Falls, Blackwater Park
6 - Dirge For November (if it wasn't so repetative, it'd be great)
7 - Harvest

DELIVERANCE (what is about to follow is completely coincidental)
1 - Wreath (you never know how good a song is until you stop listening to it)
2 - Deliverance
3 - A Fair Judgment
4/5 - Master's Apprentices, By the Pain I See In Other

DAMNATION
1 - Windowpane
2/3 - Rid the Disease, In My Time of Need
4 - Hope Leaves
5 - Closure
6 - Ending Credits
7 - Death Whispered a Lullaby
8 - Weakness

There's my list.
 
I had to vote off bleak.... I don't really know what it's doing here. I mean, I love the song, but I really prefer Deliverance, To rid the disease and for that matter The Drapery Falls.... Anyway I think my favourite is winning :grin:

Karma and Credence are amazing songs. Credence isn't the best or even top three of Opeth's best mellow songs but Karma is so much better than:

Wreath
Master's Apprentices
By the Pain I See in Others
Nectar
The Apostle in Triumph
The Twilight is My Robe
Godhead's Lament
White Cluster
The Drapery Falls

and many more (I'm counting heavy songs only). Karma = teh win. I'm sorry if it hasn't sunk into you yet, it's a beautiful song.

2. To Bid You Farewell
3. Face Of Melinda
4. The Leper Affinity
5. Harvest
6. Demon Of The Fall
7. Epilogue
8. The Twilight Is My Robe (I want to say I like it more than DOTF, but...) / Forest Of October
9. Blackwater Park (this should probably be farther up there...
10. Windowpane

So it's really 11... oh well.
 
Karma is the forgotten Opeth song in my mind. I think it's very underrated. It's just so overshadowed by AE, When, and DotF. Karma beats The Amen Corner though.

The Night and the Silent Water. This is my favorite song off of MR. I never get tired of this song. Too bad Mike and Peter hate this song and will never play it live.
I can make a list too.
