The band hasn't changed drastically over time at all. And like Erik said no one sounds like them, so time frame shouldn't matter.
K so what are your tenfavourite songs then? After a sleepless night´s consideration: Khazad Dûm Kortirion among the Trees Kôr The Passing of the Grey Company Of Pale White Morns and Darkened Eves The Rotting Horse on the Deadly Ground Nightshade Forests The Mountain King´s Return Might and Glory A Distant Flame before the Sun
Khazad Dûm Nightshade Forests A Distant Flame Before the Sun Land of the Dead The Passing of the Grey Company The Loud Music of the Sky Where Hope and Daylight Die The Rotting Horse on the Deadly Ground Habbanan Beneath the Stars Old Mornings Dawn
(subject to change): Long Lost to Where no Pathway Goes Might and Glory Lugburz Old Mornings Dawn Where Hope and Daylight Die Across the Streaming Tide Flesh and Blood The White Tower Khazad Dhum Nightshade Forests
The White Tower makes me lose my shit. Beauty meets strength. Would make a noodle dancer grow a spine.
