I had been looking for the name of this song and when I saw it live I knew it was the one. It's a great softer Rush song in a way but also very progressive.
9: The Root of All Evil - Dream Theater
This song was written in behalf of Mike Portnoy's road to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. The song is executed very well and written great, because it has the perfect heavy tones to match the meaning.
8: Shine On American Dreamer - Joe Satriani
This is a great instrumental with very catchy riffs in it. I would recommend this song to anyone who is getting into the metal genre because it is a way to slowly progress into the genre.
7: Forsaken - Dream Theater
This song is written from a fictional standpoint, but the musicality is great. The piano intro from the first second is a perfect way to grab whoever is listening.
6: Can't Go Back - Joe Satriani -
Not only does this song highlight Joe Satriani's songwriting ability, it also is accompanied by great drum tracks.
5: Light Up The Night - Symphony X
Coming from a very heavy album, this song is the perfect "break" from that. I love how Symphony X executes their music because there is no "boring part" in their songs.
4: Harper Lewis - Russian Circles
A new band that was introduced to me this month, and they did not let me down. They are instrumental, and they can keep you hooked even without vocals.
3: I Walk Beside You - Dream Theater
This is a great catchy song with very meaningful lyrics. This is one of those songs that will send chills down your spine in a good way.
2: Station - Russian Circles
This track is very good, but it is even better when you listen to the full album in a row, because it starts great and only gets better.
1: These Walls - Dream Theater
I had known about this song for awhile, but only really listened to it a few weeks ago. This song is perfectly written, with great vocals and instrumentation. The mood changing is great as well, because all the instruments fit together exceptionally well.
