Which of these Opeth songs do you like best? Why?

[Jim LotFP]

...tell me tell me!

 

[Parasite]

As I have in my signature, one of my favorite songs, "Godhead's Lament".

 

[JesusChristPose]

Out of your selection, to me, it is between To Bid You Farewell and The Amen Corner ~ Too close to call. They would both each get a half vote.

 

[J.]

Requiem

I LOVE the acoustic guitar in Godhead's Lament. That was my first favorite Opeth song, and it will always be a favorite since they opened the Milwaukee Metalfest with it.

 

[genizah]

dirge for november.....as the fianl album...
i love because it is melancholic and dimensional

 

[Xtokalon]

Jim, why are you asking? and why that particular selection of songs? (curious)

Anyway, I like Godhead's Lament too.

GL is nothing without and everything with that singing section. (imo)

 

[Klemi]

Hard to say... Now when I'm thinking, I consider Opeth more as flowing stream of music than "songs"... It sounds cliched, but that's how it is!

 

[Mayh]

Godhead´s Lament, I don´t really know why other than it´s a great song, one of my favourites.

 

[Forlorn Hope]

To bid you farewell, ecstatic.

 

[Sadistik]

Godhead's Lament, because of that gorgeous three note guitar harmony "Searching my way, to perplexion, AHhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

 

[Alcapoth]

I GOTTA go with To Bid You Farewell...

The intro is some of the GREATEST acoustic music I have ever, ever heard. And, the song just gets better further down with the distorted guitar.

The line, "she wept and whispered: I know" will deeply, forever mark my soul...

Out of those five i would have to go The Amen Corner.

I just fucking love that song! Especially the ending.

Beautiful!

yup ...my favorite song.

 

[Demonspell]

I can't think of any logical connection between the choices (I voted for Godhead's Lament), but I can say that the new LOTFP banner rules. Great show tonight, Jim.

 

[Lina]

Well, fuck me. Disregard my earlier post, please. I was thinking of Moonlapse Vertigo.

But I still vote Godhead's Lament.

 

[Jayde]

To Bid You Farewell. Because it's beautiful.

 

[pac1288]

damn I'm surprised I'm the only person here so far that has voted for the amen corner.

Odd.

 

[_Transparent_]

the funeral portrait repreents the best openning 3 minutes to an opeth song to me, the amen corner is great too.

 

[Silver Raven]

To Bid You Farewell...too hard to explain why I love that song so damn much!
