[billydheyhey]

To Bid You Farewell
Blackwater Park
The Moor
The Night and the Silent Water
The Drapery Falls


But Idk about 'em. There just are so many songs that can be my favorite...

Out of all the top 5 I've seen, this appears to be the most 'legit' one. Covers both heavy and soft Opeth.

But, for what it's worth, my personal top 5:

1. Blackwater Park
2. The Drapery Falls
3. Wreath
4. The Lotus Eater
5. Serenity Painted Death

Mine are generally interchangeable as well, but Blackwater Park has forever been my favorite Opeth song.

 

[Lateralus14]

I absolutely refuse to narrow this down to five. I just can't.

Harlequin Forest
The Funeral Portrait
Wreath
Beneath the Mire
The Lotus Eater
Baying of the Hounds

 

[in limbow]

April Ethereal
Ghost of Perdition
Demon of the Fall
In Mist She Was Standing
Deliverance

 

[{-sapob-}]

Bit hard to pick favorites
Seeing as my opinion changes.
But i will try for at the moment.

Credence (i cant get enough of this song)
Leper affinity (the gigantour version with axe on the drums is killer)
In my time of need
When & Demon of the fall (both of the endings are absolut bliss)

 

[BriGreentea]

Heir Apparent
Lotus Eater
Closure
The Drapery Falls
Atonement

 

[Chinese Whispers]

Will do 5 that I'm really enjoying at the moment, but like mosts faves, it'll change with time.

Anyways -
"To Bid You Farewell" - loved this song the first time I heard it.
"Godhead's Lament"
"April Ethereal"
"Beneath The Mire" - I know a lot of people don't really rate this track but I love it.
"Coil" - Something different, maybe that is what I like about it. And so simple!

Ok this is really hard, so i'll just write my favorite track for each album (which is a torture by itself), and then I'll put an asterisk next to the actual top 5 out of that list. Otherwise this would take forever.

Morningrise : The Night and the Silent Water
My Arms, Your Hearse : When*
Still Life : The Moor
Blackwater Park : Aaaaargh -- Blackwater Park*
Deliverance : Master's Apprentice
