The results are in...the BOTTOM to TOP of Opeth songs!

[Alcapoth]

To all who submitted their lists, thanks! I wanted 100, but then I didn't even get 50...38 is what I got so I guess that was enough to warrant a list (especially since it was a bitch to compile.)

THE ULTIMATE OPETH LIST - hardly definitive, but based on the 38 lists that were supplied these are the results I have received. Some surprises and shockers, while most seem to be where we have seen them before (give or take.) In the end, all for fun.

We begin at the bottom.......

[i aint play this]

and the most dedicated, hardcore Opeth fan evar is:





























































ALCAPOTH :FTLOG:

 

[LightningLixxx]

Cool. I think this was a pretty good idea. We should do one every month.

 

[Alcapoth]

^ @ I ain't play this!


Jesus, I even look at that list now and i'm getting a headache... yeah, i'm on crack! So...many...numbers......wee-ooh-weeeee.


A personal observation: 16 songs in my top 20 made the overall top 20. Woohoo - go me.

 

[~random~]

Awesome, that came out pretty well. I think Updating is pretty good, maybe every once in a while we can get everyone to repost their favourites (because they keep changing.) Guaranteed, we'll never get the same list twice.

 

[hibernal_dream]

GoP? That's it? Best Opeth has to Offer? Hahaha... come on

 

[~random~]

I admit, I was expecting one of the other top 10 to be no.1 instead of GoP. How many people actually put it as their number one?

 

[i aint play this]

GoP? That's it? Best Opeth has to Offer? Hahaha... come on

Not the best but of course it is one of the best 3 songs Opeth ever worte, bh

 

[Pethical]

i'm very suprised GoP won, but i'm glad to see when and dotf in 2nd and 3rd spot

 

[tgrude]

I admit, I was expecting one of the other top 10 to be no.1 instead of GoP. How many people actually put it as their number one?

GoP? That's it? Best Opeth has to Offer? Hahaha... come on

I did, or.. well.. i put it in my top3 if i dont remember wrong.
And I'm so f**king glad to see that dotf didn't win, as i think its so overrated.
Its a killer live track, but overrated nevertheless.

Blackwater Park at #10?? it deserves so much more..

 

[BefriendedUnit]

I think the top 15 would make a KILLER show by any fan's standards.

 

[King Richard]

I think Bleak at #7 surprised me most. Bleak = teh shit

 

[Arjen W.]

GoP? Strange. I'd expect When and The Moor taking the first two spots.

 

[BlackRoseImmortal90]

Well done man!! ... I do not agree but that was fun!!
Cheers

 

[Alex78]

GoP on 1st is odd and so is When on 2nd...I'm pretty surprised!

 

[biggsy]

I thought this would just fail and die but well done alcapoth. Fairly nice list there. Surprised Atonement polled no votes!

 

[Sadguru]

Wow, admirable job man!! +Rep goes to you.

And yes, Ghost of Perdition as #1 is just strange to me. It's a fantastic song, but the best Opeth has to offer? I think not. Oh well...

(539 pts.) 34/38 avg. 15.4

over one hundred point lead from 2nd place....

Great job you've done.
But you made a mistake here. Ghost of Perdition was included in 35/38 lists, not 34/38. Only foodforthegods, me and frycus spoiled the unity of the community by leaving the song out of our lists.
But it's a good song, and it was very close for making it to my list. Just not this time.

 

[billyneverdies]

i think had more than 38 vote had come in, we'd have different results.

 

[~random~]

Had I given myself time, maybe listened to all 8 or so hours of music a couple of times over, my list would be different.
