Aqua-Soft ForumsJust curious about everyone's opinion. What do you think is the best opening song to an album. Me...Everything in its right place - Radiohead - Kid A. Discuss...
Best Opening Song to an album
This is a Lovesong for the Loveless by The Juliana Theory 
In the Begining - Shout at the Devil -Motley Crue
The Glass Prison from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater
hmm... this is hard... i guess This Is How It Goes -- Billy Talent and i also would rate the opening track on their second album (Devil in a Midnight Mass) as second place.
Intro - Come Get It I Got It - David Holmes. (Technically it's a dj mix, but who's counting? The guy who did the Ocean's 11/12 OST's, by the way. One hell of a guy.)
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Left Brain Ambassadors from the Spiritual Beggars, on their Ad Astra album. The perfect declaration of intents.
Preliator by Globus on their debut album, Epicon
Mr Self Destruct on "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails.
respectable street on 'black sea' by xtc.
@ blitz and pe8er : good selections.
Stinkfist - Tool
Second for Nirvana's Nevermind and first for White Stripes' Elephant - Seven Nation Army.
from studio album:
The Sickbed of Cuchulainn - The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & The Lash
Sets the mood perfectly for the album.
Best 1st song from a freely downloadable album:
I Smoke Some Grass And Get Really Really High - Ween - "B-Sides,Demos, & Rarities"
If anyone's interested, you can find the torrent at this link: browntracker if you first sign up at www.browntracker.net
It's a 100 song, 4 disc compilation: 1.64gb of flacs.
(mods: this torrent is legal and band approved)
gza - liquid swords
the movie sample at the beginning, gza's lyrics, and rza on production makes it a triple threat.
what Blitz said or dangerously in love by beyonce
Muse - Sunburn (Showbiz)
"Son Et Lumiere" and "Inertiatic Esp" from Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta. Yeah, they're two tracks, but Son Et Lumiere is really just an intro for Inertiatic Esp, so I call them one song.
Andrew W.K - Victory Strikes Again by FAR. On his album the Wolf.
