Which album has the best opener of all time? Pic related gets my vote, Only Shallow is absolute perfection.

MBV beaten at their own game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvK_AY5gfeY

Headmaster Ritual, London Calling, Rocks Off or Thunder Road imo
>>
this album was alright but i dont get the fetish for it
>>
It's pretty sad that Taxman has never been topped
>>
Wouldn't It Be Nice, Baba O' Riley, Seagull, I Zimbra

Just going off the top of my head, I'm sure I've missed better ones.

Talking Head's first 4 albums have fantastic openings. They're also up there with Can as the greatest streak of albums ever.
>>
>>63395372
Yeah, the only good track on that album.

This album is straight shit. Only -ok- song is the opener.

because the whole album is the opener?

Well aren't you the contrarian...
>>
>>63396992
That's not really an unpopular opinion. Personally, I don't think it's the worse, but it's certainly not the best either.
>>
>>63393456
If you claim that some posercore /mu/ album is the best of anything you need to consider suicide. Getting brainwashed by /mu/'s shitty opinions is as bad as becoming a authoritarian conservative right wing white nationalist because you got fooled by /pol/.
>>
>>63396992
I did not disagree with your opinion. It's a strong opener, but compared to the rest of the album, it's pale in comparison. Loomer and Touched do a better job of setting the mood for the best track in shoegaze, and from there on, it's just complete bliss.

generic noisepop, nothing more.

Stop injecting politics into everything.

GOAT opener is Like a Rolling Stone, this is fact.

Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space has many good tracks on it. You only think it doesn't because the one track thar comes immediately after the opener in bad
>>
>>63397226
Even Come Together isn't that bad of a song
Its just that the first track and the ending stretch of the album is so massively good it looks shit in comparison

of the two mbv lps, the better opener has to go to mbv rather than loveless, even if loveless is a better album in almost every way

Kanye West and Marvin Gaye are the undisputed kings of opening tracks.

Cherub Rock is pretty goddamn perfect.
