OT: What is the best opener to an album ever?
- Thread starter dahliaclone
- Start date
Agreed.
On the Wilco(ish) tip, "Windfall" by Son Volt (Trace) belongs in this discussion.
First album I ever bought, at 12 years old. It is still one of my all-time favorites.
"Woman from Tokyo" Deep Purple (Who Do We Think We Are)
"Arc of the Diver" Steve Winwood (Arc of the Diver)
"Twice As Hard" Black Crowes (Shake Your Money Maker)
"Radio Song" R.E.M. (Out of Time)
"Achilles Last Stand" LZ (Presence)

Cherub Rock gets my vote too. Just obscure enough that I'm surprised it's got this much attention.
Can we do best concert opener next?

This thread had some potential, until guys who know bands that nobody else knows, showed up. Just to show they know more about bands than everyone else.
"Dead and Bloated" Stone Temple Pilots-Core
I remember putting that in my CD player and hearing it for the first time and being blown away. Before I hit play I really just wanted to skip to "Sex Type Thing".
"My Name is Jonas" is another good one that brings back the high school memories...
Edit: Yes, "Welcome to the Jungle" is a good one. I was still fairly young when that came out. "Mr. Brownstone" is my favorite track on the album nowadays.

"The Package" in "Thirteenth Step" by A Perfect Circle.
The first three songs ("Have We Forgotten", "Anything", and "The Waiting Room") of Sixpence None the Richer's self-titled album. Three separate singles that flow like one long, continuous track.

For the Metallica fans, it's "Battery" (Master of Puppets) and "Blackened" (And Justice for All).
Also good:
Around the World by Red Hot's Californication album. Love the last :40 of that song with the bass and snare
London Calling by The Clash. Also vote for best album ender with Train In Vain on the same album

I liked Attack opening A Beautiful Lie better. Probably because I thought that was their best album and it set the stage for it.
Doubt it. Jared seems to have mellowed out and does a lot of acoustic type ballads it seems. I was really disappointed in the last album. They continued to experiment a lot and got further away from the sound that most of their older fans enjoyed.
