Want One



Ok, so this was a gimmicky radio show topic and I expect it will serve well as a gimmicky blog topic:

What are your favorite album opening tracks?
You know, when you put the cd in for the first time or the fiftieth time, and the first song blows you away. It has to be track one. Intros that occupy the first track disqualify the song that proceed them.

Here are some of mine in no order whatsoever:


  • Once
    Pearl Jam - Ten

  • That's When I Reach For My Revolver
    Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls and Marches

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

  • Blue
    The Jayhawks - Tomorrow The Green Grass

  • Divine Intervention
    Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend

  • Sweet is the Melody
    Iris Dement - My Life



Is that too many? You can come up with one or two of your own, can't you? What a silly exercise. Hey, it's the weekend.
