per
i like the keyboards in ghost of perdition

 

Mikael vocals - blackwater park, isolation years, entirety of still life (too much to be specific)
Mikael guitar - harvest, hope leaves, isolation years, the Leper Affinity
Peter - White Cluster, A fair judgement, When, deliverance, wreath, forest of october (I think he plays that solo, you know the one?)
Mendez - baying of the hounds, blackwater park, moonlapse vertigo, reverie/harlequin forest
Lopez - deliverance and damnation albums (once again, too much to be specific), especially closure, by the pain I see in others
Per - Weakness (duh!! although I wish they would have kept some of the cool stuff Wilson did with it), isolation years, all of ghost reveries
Johan - To Bid You Farewell (I love the riffs in this)
Anders - hmm, tough - I'd say Advent, Black rose immortal, requiem (obviously)

 

mike vocals: hours of wealth
mike guitar: the moor
peter: a fair judgement
lopez: windowpane and deliverance
mendez: blackwater park

 

Both guitarists: White Cluster (solos at the end)
Lopez: Deliverance (there is no other option for this)
Per: Ghost of Perdition (the keyboards aren't as out in the open as on other songs, but they really add to the song in a subtle way)
Mendez: It would have to be something on Damnation
Mike on vocals: Too hard to pick
Johan: To Bid You Farewell
Anders: no idea

 

Mikael -Death vox - Serenity Painted Death
Clean vox - Hours Of Wealth,
The Moor (Melinda Is The Reason Why Ive Come!...that part always gives me chills)
Solos - Deliverance,Baying Of The Hounds,Closure,White Cluster,Windowpane,Twilight Is My Robe,TGC...Wreath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter Solos-Godheads Lament,Serenity Painted Death,A fair Judgement,White Cluster,Wreath,Twilight is My Robe...
and in Mikeals Baying of the Hounds solo...Petes Rhythm steals the spotlight

Mendez -Deliverance,White Cluster,Harlequin Forest,Baying Of The Hounds

Johan - Twilight Is My Robe (7:51!!!),Nectar (3:13),Apostle in Triumph,Advent byfar his best work,TBYF

Anders - Silhouette,Nectar Intro, doesnt take much skill to play, but damn that beat has groove lol

Lopez -Anything From GR,Damnation...Windowpane Byfar

Per - When Live,Everything on GR is amazing

Rhythm Guitar (both Guitarists) -Funeral Portrait (1:16..Mint),Masters Apprentices,Godheads Lament,Dirge For November,Leper Affinity,Harlequin Forest,Baying Of The Hounds,TGC (NOT THE MAIN RIFF),TBYF

 

O.k. hard one, but I'll give it a try.

Lopez - Deliverance. The ingenuity in the writing of this drum part alone is reason enough, and the execution even more so.

Mendez - either Blackwater Park for the pop and slap parts near the end or The Drapery Falls for a wonderfully inserted bass line all the way through

Wiberg - The Baying of the Hounds, no doubts here.

Lindgren - In My Time of Need - the textures he created (with a little help from S. Wilson) are just plain trippy and beautiful

Akerfeldt (Death vocals) - Demon of the Fall - so evil!!!
(clean vocals) - Ghost of Perdition - listen to all intertwining melodies in there!
(guitars) - all of the Still Life album (acoustic parts in Benighted are wonderful, and the originality of the songwriting in there has not been surpassed, in my humble opinion)

Cheers!

 

Mendez: Blackwater Park, The Drapery Falls
Per: The Baying of the Hounds, A Fair Judgement(live)

The entire "Damnation" album for all band members. This album convinced me that Opeth were brilliant musicians, not just another crush your skull "Metal" band. All albums and musicianship are great, but, "Damnation is a sublime masterpiece IMO.
