Those happen to be back to back songs.
>>64363353
I honestly don't there's another answer, Sister Ray is the VU best track. And the openers for the other 3 albums are a bit meh

>>64361438
nah senpai
Cosmia>Time, As A Symptom>Does Not Suffice
>>64363668
I like white light/white heat as a song. It's just not as good as sunday morning, which is one of the better VU songs. And I don’t like the post Cale albums too much.
>>64359983
>Whitewater
>Lick my doo
What did he mean by this
Fo real tho Kyuss have so many godlike openers and closers that it's too hard to decide
>>64359883
The Mars Volta
Cygnus and Cassandra Gemini
Swans
>Red Velvet Corridor
>Surrogate Drone
>>64363908
i'd pick Take the Veil over Cassandra imotbh
Dinosaur Jr.
>Freak Scene
>Keeblin'
>>64359883
Tool
Vicarious
Third Eye
>>64363158
I'm really just getting into them and all I've heard is STGSTV and MPP, the opener on Spirit is better than In the Flowers if you ask me though.
I'm gonna listen to Danse Manatee and go from there when i get to it
>>64360085
>Opener
I Want Wind to Blow
>Closer
Universe
Elvis Costello
opener: Accidents Will Happen
closer: Big Sister's Clothes
>>64359883
>Death Grips
>Beware
>Hacker
Fuck me that's a tough one
King Crimson
>opener
21st century, honestly now that's a fucking career start right there
Red and Lark's Tongue are runner ups
it's hard to decide honestly
>closer
Fracture, though my favourite closer is Discipline, Fracture is a crazy way to end a crazy album
>>64364054
m8, Starless might be the best closer in the history of rock music
>>64363963
It's a great song, but I find the last minute or so kinda cheesy. Cassandra's ending feels more rewarding to me
> Sgt Pepper's
> A Day in the Life or The End (fuck Her Majesty)
The Flaming Lips
>Race For the Prize
>Slow Nerve Action
Stevie Nicks
>Trouble In Shangri-La
>Beauty And The Beast
The Magnetic Fields
>Absolutely Cuckoo
>Take Ecstasy With Me
>>64364054
Fucking shit picks for closer
LTIA pt 2, ITCOTCK and Starless might be the greatest album closers of all time
TMBG
>I'm Impressed
(ya they have better songs at the start of records but this is just such a kickass opener)
>Road Movie to Berlin
or rhythm section want ad
or space suit
2 hard desu
>>64363243
>not take it or leave it
????????
>having a favourite band
car seat headrest
the ending of Dramamine
knife in the coffee
>>64364070
that last minute is one makes it the best closer imo
Baroness
>Green Theme
>Grad
The Mountain Goats
>The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton or Damn These Vampires
>We Were Patriots or Transcendental Youth
One for lo-fi, one for hi-fi. I can't choose between the pairs. Though the opener and closer on Heretic Pride each come close.
----
and

Iron & Wine
>Beneath The Balcony
>The Trapeze Swinger
Weirdly, neither of these are off of an LP.
Kendrick Lamar
>Fuck Your Ethnicity

On Sight and Fade
>>64368743
>Not Tired of Sex
>Not Only in Dreams

WEW
>>64369098
life is simple in the moonlight is a terrible choice even if most of the strokes closers are underwhelming. I would have also picked what ever happened
I agree about styrofoam boats
>>64359983
Thumb is better than Gardenia
