Good list, I'll wait for a while to see if anyone wants to change something and eventually put it up if nothing changes.

So, Greg, what about the Freddie list?

Ville Valo
Studio:
1. Ode to Solitude
2. Sleepwalking Past Hope
3. Like St. Valentine
4. Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)
5. It's All Tears (Drown in This Love)
6. Bleed Well
7. Venus Doom
8. Summer Wine
9. In the Nightside of Eden
10. Buried Alive By Love

Live:
1. Wicked Game (Rock Am Ring '10)
2. Bleed Well (Rock Am Ring '10)
3. Funeral of Hearts (Rock Am Ring '10)
4. It's All Tears (Drown in This Love) (Digital Versatile Doom '08)
5. Soul on Fire (Digital Versatile Doom '08)

My attempt to create Valo's list... He has so many great performances that it is hard to pick up his best but I think many of those names deserve to be up there.

Geoff Tate:
1. Roads to Madness
2. Take Hold of the Flame
3. Before the Storm
4. Queen of the Reich
5. Suite Sister Mary
6. En Force
7. Revolution Calling
8. Eyes of a Stranger
9. No Sanctuary
10. Scarborough Fair

Live:
1. Take Hold of the Flame (Tokyo '85 )
2. Queen of the Reich (Tokyo '85 )
3. Roads to Madness (New York '87)
4. En Force (Tokyo '85 )
5. Child of Fire (Tokyo '85 )

The studio list definitely needs some Rage For Order songs. After just hearing the whole album for the first time, and being blown the fuck away, I think a performance like London could easily make the list. His volume control on many of those songs is just crazy...

As for the live list, there's a 1985 Pittsburgh performance on youtube that's pretty outstanding. Probably as good as the Tokyo concert.
The version of Roads To Madness there is easily better than the '87 version...

We have a list for Fish but not Roy Orbison? What is this blasphemy! Someone make a Roy Orbison list please, I don't feel qualified to do it though

Timi · **Posted:** Sun Oct 16, 2011 9:24 am

Whoever made that list for Fish must be executed for this heresy! Oh my god, blasphemous action!

Yousha · **Posted:** Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:29 am

he makes a legit point though, no Orbison list is wrong...

songs :

1. Crying

and after that...

Thr Crowd
I drove all night
Leah
Falling
Only the lonely
In Dreams
California Blue

more names ?

I definitely agree that Orbison needs to have a list but blasphemy if he doesn't have and Fish does? Just hilarious.

Graham Bonnet

3. Tonight I Fly
4. Jet to Jet
5. Only One Woman
6. Stand in Line
7. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Seriously....where's Island In The Sun? It's every bit as good as Hiroshima, maybe better. Lots of awesome falsetto switches, great controlled powerful highs, etc.
