Best opening song in a music album

[King Kurt]

Young Man Blues - The Who - Live at isle of wright

The Who live at The Isle of Wight 1970 - such memories - I was there. They came on about midnight or later, played a load of their classics, then the whole of Tommy - they were on stage for about 3 hours and ended with "Listening to you" with 4 huge searchlights shinning out from behind them lighting up about 600,000 of us having the time of our life. From memory they were on just after the Doors - now that is what you call a line up!!

Best of winterchill.

You take my blues awayyyyyyy, everyday, take away my blues

[Gawain of Orkeny]

It's Ina Gadda Da Vida, youngtsers.

Who you calling youngster

The original title was "In the Garden of Eden"

[Moros]

But it was never: "ina godda da vita".

Tsssk. Bloody yuppies. ~

[Gawain of Orkeny]

But it was never: "ina godda da vita".

You never heard of ebonics ?
And who is a yuppie?

[Orb]

Either Looking For Someone, from Genesis' Trespass
and Heat of the Moment, from Asia

[Reverend Joe]

Ina Godda Da Vita

Its the whole first side of the album

On my LP, it's on the second side...

(And by the way, my LP also says "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." )

Best songs for me:

"She Has Funny Cars." Tells you exactly what you are getting in the first five seconds.

The first suite from "After Bathing at Baxter's" is another, probably the best 3-song grouping you could choose from the band.

"Astronomy Domine", the best way to start off the best Floyd album: with a crazy psychedelic song with a backbeat that resembles the first wave of an acid trip.

"Magical Mystery Tour": hard one to beat. Then again, it's hard to beat any dopesmoking anthem, let alone one as good as this.

"Don't Give It Up Now", the opener to the album "On Fyre" by the little-known Lyres.

"In The Beginning", the opener for my favorite Moody Blues album, "On The Threshold of a Dream." It's like Dark Side for the 60's man -- and "In The Beginning" is its "Speak To Me" (only better.)
