the ONLY album that has its best song as track #1 that ive found...(i have agreed with NOTHING in this thread so far)...the fragile [left side], nin, "somewhat damaged". i think thats the best song on that disc.

oh wait..."you" on radiohead's 'pablo honey' is my favorite...but that'll probably be up for debate.

this tread is pointless. 75% of well made records lead off with the stongest song.

4/16/2006 10:43:48 AM

it's true because you did the rolly eyes!

but seriously, i think a lot of times immediately likeable songs are put first. often though, the real meaty tracks are somewhere in the middle. i honestly think that last tracks stand a better chance at being best as standalone songs. this is mostly because they usually have a sense of conclusion by the end.

Flaming Lips - "Race for the Prize" off of The Soft Bulletin
Flaming Lips - "Fight Test" off of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Architecture in Helsinki - "Nevereverdid" off of In Case We Die
Beck - "The Golden Age" off of Sea Change
The Boy Least Likely To - "Be Gentle With Me" off of The Best Party Ever


ok i give up, theres too many

4/16/2006 11:59:44 AM

I disagree with every single one of those choices!

WE MUST BATTLE.

4/16/2006 12:15:11 PM

i was trying to think of a record with just one track so we could all agree but i couldnt

4/16/2006 12:21:10 PM

I've found there to be an abnormal amount of albums where the third song is the hit song or single. Of course "best" song is a matter of opinion... but a lot of times people might consider that the "best" song.

Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) on Remain in Light - The Talking Heads
Waiting for the Sun on Hollywood Town Hall - the Jayhawks

and this one was actually the first that popped to mind:
Wanna Be Startin' Somethin ' - Michael Jackson, Thriller (i mean, think about it...)

4/19/2006 1:55:20 AM

This could be a lot of things, if you define "the best" as "your favorite" then there could be tons of variation.

A few examples:

Audioslave - Cochise
G&R - Use your Illusion 2 - Civil War
Beatles - Abbey Road - Come Together

4/19/2006 2:09:53 AM

Good call on "Born Under Punches".

Stooges - Raw Power - "Search and Destroy" ...I go back and forth on this one, so many good tracks.
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall - "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough"

4/19/2006 2:23:07 AM

High Fidelity called. It wants it's thread back.

How about fucking Let's get it on from Let's get it on.
