In no order.


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.


Yeah. I like Epilogue the most of theirs, oddly. It's just...so good. I wanted to have something from Still Life in there, but can't really get into most of the middle tracks...only the beginning and ending ones strike a deafening chord with me. But that riff in White Cluster (the harmony octave riff thing) is just gruesomely good.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

5 is a bit difficult. I say this with all list threads, but it's true. So as of right now, here is what comes to mind:
 
Ghost of Perdition
The Leper Affinity
Windowpane
The Lotus Eater
Hours of Wealth
 
That last one never seems to get much recognition, but I think it is one of the most beautiful songs they've done and features some ridiculously tasty and heartfelt guitar work.

One of my favourite bands Tongue 

Really can't decide wich songs are my favourites but I'll try:
01: The Baying of the Honds
02: Godhead's Lament
03: The Night and the Silent Water (Live) (the mellotrons and synths of the live version make this song one of the most melancholic and beautiful expiriences of all my life)
04: The Leper Affinity
05: Serenity Painted Death (just so much BRUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
 
Still life is one of my favourite records but I was a little bit dissapointed with watershed (thats why no watershed in my list).
There is really no band like OPETH!!!!!!! Tongue
