Opening tracks

I was sat on a train, thinking... You can learn a lot about a band by how they start an album. And then I thought... I should write a blog about that. So I am.
When you think about it, people can recognise an album by the first track. In the bygone era of the CD, I used to bring my new cd back, and listen to the whole lot start to finish. No single tracks like itunes has recently afforded us. So here we go, my favorite album starters, with vids if I can find them.

Roll up and shine - Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails

Airbag - Radiohead - OK Computer


Loser - Beck - Mellow Gold


Godless - Dandy Warhols - 13 Tales from Urban Bohemia



And one final thing... I never realised how much the standard 'Muse Ballad' owes to this song...

Hey girl...

Hey boy
