maybe this question has been made before but here it goes:
if you could make a best of Opeth album which songs would you include?
me:
1.-When
2.-Deliverance
3.-Black Rose Immortal
4.-Bleak
5.-Under the weeping moon
6.-Benighted
7.-Credence
8.-To bid you farewell

and the artwork would be a grave in a black and white picture and a statue of someone mourning on the grave
 
1. Forest Of October
2. Apostle In Triumph
3. Advent
4. To Bid You Farewell
5. April Ethereal
6. Demon Of The Fall
7. The Moor
8. Face Of Melinda
9. Serenity Painted Death
10. The Leper Affinity
11. Harvest
12. The Drapery Falls
13. Deliverance
14. A Fair Judgement
15. By The Pain I See In Others
16. Demon Of The Fall (Live) :D :headbang: :D

Spread across 2 cds obviously, with the artwork being a collage of all their album covers or something like that. That would rule
 
i made this a few months ago...

1. Advent
2. Serenity Painted Death
3.Deamon of the Fall
4. The Night and the Silent Water
5. Face of Melinda
6. In Mist She Was Standing
7. The Amen Corner

not bad if i say so myself :)
 
1. In The Mist She Was Standing
2. Deliverance
3. When
4. Serenity Painted Death
5. The Drapery Falls
6. Demon Of The Fall
7. Black Rose Immortal
 
Although I don't fully agree with the purpose of this post, due to the my belief that separating tracks from their intended place on the albums they are recorded disturbs the flow, especially on concept albums like SL and MAYH.
I will list my faves nonetheless:

The Moor
When
Deliverence
A Fair Judgement
The Drapery Falls
Harvest
Moonlapse Vertigo
Bleak
Masters Apprentices
White Cluster
 
1. The Leper Affinity
2. When
3. A Fair Judgement
4. Black Rose Immortal
5. Demon of the Fall
6. Credence
7. Deliverance
8. The Drapery Falls
9. To Bid You Farewell
10. The Amen Corner
11. Advent
 
I've never seen such heterogeneous 'favorites' lists when it comes to Opeth albums or songs!!! I don't refer to this thread, which is one among 10000000 of others, but it gets more obvious to me that trying to ask in an Opeth forum "which would be the best Opeth album to buy first" is a complete pointless task, which would not bring any helpful advice but the classic "buy them all!"
I don't know anymore which is my favorite, nor my fav song, and it'd be painful for me to make a compilation.
So, Manuel I suggest the following: write down in little pieces of paper the names of all Opeth songs from all albums. Fold them, mix them in a bag, throw them all in the air, catch about 8, 9 or 10 and burn them in a CD.
This way your compilation will be surely the best around!!!!!!!!!!!
