How important is an outstanding opening song on albums you love?
I'm listening to Up The Bracket for the first time in ages, after Vertigo came on Shuffle. Instantly it made me want to listen to the whole album, and now I come to think about it, almost every album I hold dear has a superb opening track, instantly elevating the experience as a whole
Are there any counter-examples you can think of, or do all great albums have a great opening?
