two best opeth songs

[chattefemme]

hey all,
i'm putting together some cds with all European bands on it and distributing them around my area so specific things can and will hopefully happen. What two songs from Opeth do you recommend i put on the cd? please and thanks for your input

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Advent and The Moor

 

[_Transparent_]

black rose immortal and demon of the fall (i know everyone thinks its over rated, but its the one opeth song for me that sums the up in under 7 minutes)

 

[O'blivion]

The Night and the Silent Water, Moonlapse Vertigo

 

[despair]

when, bleak

 

[Heliologue]

the song i think most indicative of their style is Drapery Falls, but then I would also have to go with Godheads lament

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

You can't do it all in two songs, that's why I chose one from their old style, and one from their new.

 

[TheMindzI]

Demon Of The Fall / The Twilight Is My Robe

 

[Manbient]

The Night And The Silen Water, Godhead's Lament.

 

[Spike]

To Bid You Farewell and Moonlapse Vertigo....

 

[Slayed Necros]

Blackwater Park/The Amen Corner

 

[Pieguy]

Black Rose Immortal, Moonlapse Vertigo.

 

[Cutter]

Wow...this is an extremely tough question. How does one judge the two best Opeth songs? What would the selection criteria be? Would you choose the most progressive, the most atmospheric?...My faviroute Opeth song seems to change on a weekly basis, depending on what mood I'm in.

I think I will choose one from their recent stuff, and one from their old stuff.

Moonlapse Vertigo off SL. It seems to wash over me in these jazzy, harrowing waves.

Advent off Morningrise. This song really highlights their earlier style and kind of slowly draws too this crescendo. It seems to build a tempo before finally releasing you into Eleysian fields towards the end...

...watch this space, as next week, I will choose two different songs

 

[Klaha]

The Apostle in Triumph, Credence.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Godhead's Lament, Face Of Melinda

 

[requiem]

How's the poor guy/girl supposed to chose two songs from all those nominated?

To add to the chaos, I chose...

The Moor and April Ethereal

 

[KIRILL]

Face of Melinda and Deamon of the Fall......

 

[solkar_saruman]

I agree with those who think that 2 songs are few, but

White Cluster

& Drapery Falls

White Cluster has the best vocals on an Opeth song

 

[dittohead]

I think we're not necassarily after the best two opeth songs, seeing as its for a little distro, but two songs that give a good overview Opeth. A very tough one, perhaps Advent and Godheads Lament (or maybe Blackwater Park)

 

[MetalManCPA]

The Drapery Falls
The Funeral Portrait

...but those are just MY 2 favorite songs.
