Quite simply another "Top 5" poll, i don't think Opeth has ever been done before though. You know the drill.

1. Godhead's Lament
2. Ghost of Perdition
3. Moonlapse Vertigo
4. Bleak
5. When

Are we limited to one per album? If not

1. Godhead's Lament (One of my favorite songs ever, I love the "Swedish Circus From Hell" lead riffs, and it has some of their best clean vocal hooks as well)
2. Ghost Of Perdition ("Keeper of oreos... KEEPER OF ORREEEEOOOOS!")
3. Moonlapse Vertigo (Combines the melodic and aggressive elements very well, and has one of the most brutal moments Opeth have ever written)
4. Heir Apparent (Has a very "Still Life" feel to it, but combines it with their modern sound in an awesome way)
5. Face Of Melinda (My favorite "melodic" song, I adore the lyrics, and I love the way they end such a beautiful song with a heavy instrumental section. The first time I heard it I really didn't see it coming)

I'm a big Still Life fan. I feel kinda guilty only including songs from three albums, as they have so much great material on all of their albums. But since this is only a Top 5, my favorite Opeth album dominates the list.

don't know what order but

Bleak
Ghost of Perdition
The Drapery Falls
The Lotus Eater
Godhead's Lament

agreeing with Mr. Hood, the vocal hook (and the harmonized guitar that does it beforehand) make Godhead's Lament awesome

Hmm, this is very thought-provoking.

I guess my list is something like this:

When
The Moor
The Leper Affinity
Ghost of Perdition
Hessian Peel

Honorable mention to Godhead's Lament, The Baying of the Hounds, Heir Apparent, and The Lotus Eater.

Heh, I just scrolled up and realized I have the same exact list as el bothy. He has good taste!

I'm surprised no one put Blackwater Park yet Confused it has the best riff Opeth ever wrote on it.

But this is a tough one..

In no apparent order:

Blackwater Park
Face of Melinda
To Bid You Farewell
A Fair Judgement
Master's Apprentice

This however, changes a lot...

I thought about putting that one; it was hard. I'd say that's easily #6 for me. Clap

Interesting you should mention White Cluster and Epilogue. They are bizzarrely underated in the Opeth world, whilst White Cluster has some of Lopez's best moments and Epilogue has some astonishly good guitar.
