I'm a really big fan of great album openers and closers. A sweet opening track can really set the tone for the album, and a great closing track can sum the whole thing up perfectly.
What are some of your favorite opening and closing tracks???
Here are some of mine to start things off:
Openers:
'London Calling' by The Clash from the London Calling album
'Hopeless Romantic' by the Boucing Souls from the Hopeless Romantic album
'Beautiful Day' by U2 from ATYCLB (like I needed to tell anyone what it was from!)
'Now It's On' by Grandaddy from the Sumday album
'Fight Test' by Flaming Lips from the Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album
'You Held the World In Your Arms' by Idlewild from The Remote Part album
'Strenght Through Wounding' by AFI from the Black Sails in the Sunset album
'Miseria Cantare' by AFI from the Sing the Sorrow album
'2+2=5' by Radiohead from the Hail to the Thief album
'Debaser' by Pixies from the Doolittle album
'() #1' by Sigur Ros from the () album
'A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours' by The Smiths from the Strangways album
'Caring is Creepy' by The Shins from the Oh, Inverted World album
Closers:
'Gone' by Bouncing Souls from the How I Spent My Summer Vacation album
'() #8' by Sigur Ros from the () album
'Motion Picture Soundtrack' by Radiohead from the Kid A album
'Train In Vain' by The Clash from the London Calling album
'Take It or Leave It' by The Strokes from the Is This It album
'Fight' by The Cure from the Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me album
'Good Night' by The Beatles from the White album
'A House' by Doves from the Lost Souls album
'Morning Star' by AFI from The Art of Drowning album
I'll leave it at that (I'll save the others for a later date)
