Man, I'm not even sure of any of these, and mine will be quite different from others here. But going by my playing time lately:

1. Systematic Chaos
2. A Dramatic Turn of Events
3. Awake
4. Train of Thought
5. Octavarium
6. Images and Words
7. Scenes From a Memory
8. Six Degrees
9. Black Clouds
10. Falling Into Infinity
11. When Dream and Day Unite

The top 10 are, to me, all in the A+ to A- category, so they could move around and aren't much different. I haven't seen anyone put Systematic on top, but I just can't stop playing that. I especially like the 5.1 mix on a very good surround system. I wish they would do that for more albums, but I guess I'm the minority on that. I guess I like the heavier things better, but love a lot of songs from the Light Side of greatest hit.

And Niels B, I don't think we "hate" When Dream..., it's just not as good as the others. Sound quality and singing is important to me, and I just don't find myself playing that CD very often.

1. Images and Words
2. Metropolis Part 2 - Scenes From a Memory
3. A Dramatic Turn of Events
4. Awake
5. Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulance
6. Train of Thought
7. Systematic Chaos
8. Octavarium(Octavarium is clearly one of their best songs, but the album isn't satisfying)
9. Black Clouds and Silver Linings
10. Falling Into Infinity
11. When Dream and Day Unite

(I don't think that A Change of Seansons is an album, but it's a perfect song so we shouldn't forget it)

Each one has a unique feel to it though and depends on my mood for which one I listen to the most. But Octavarium is probably my favorite!
