Top 5 Track 1 Side 1s
yep, just like in High Fidelity. Whats your picks?
mine:
5. Slowdive - alison - from Souvlaki
4. The Wedding Present - everyone thinks he looks daft - from George Best
3. The Cure - boy's dont cry - from Boy's Don't Cry
2. Deerhunter - cover me (slowly) - from Microcastle
1. Fugazi - waiting room - from 13 Songs
this will probably change as soon as i post it.
@#$
1. Gimme Shelter - Let It Bleed
2. It's No Game (pt1) - Scary Monsters
3. Glass Conversation - Celebration Castle
4. Search & Destroy - Raw Power
5. Summer Babe - Slanted and Enchanted
this is tricky because best and favourite differ wildly
there's some really iconic track 1 side 1s, like blitzkrieg bop, teen age riot, baba o riley, you're gonna miss me (oh hi, high fidelity), and a lot of tracks better, but for opening an album well you can't beat
5 big black - jordan, minnesota
4 new order - age of consent
3 the fall - the classical
2 u2 - i will follow
1 pixies - debaser
too hard
Leaves Them All Behind — Ride (Going Blank Again)
Love Burns — BRMC (BRMC)
One Hundred Years — The Cure (Pornography)
Just Like Honey — The Jesus and Mary Chain (Psychocandy)
Head Like A Hole — NIN (Pretty Hate Machine)
Debaser — Pixies (Doolittle)
Silence — Portishead (Third)
Deep Hit of Morning Sun — Primal Scream (Evil Heat)
Cherub Rock — Smashing Pumpkins (Siamese Dream)
I Wanna Be Adored — The Stone Roses (The Stone Roses)
...and many more. Too hard. Plus, this very quickly turned into an exercise in naming the first track of classic albums (or all-time faves) that start big and just get bigger.
