The first song on Misplaced childhood, the way it begins just gets you in the mood for what is to come

They have a lot of good openers, but I think my favorite is "Hotel Hobbies," followed closely by "King of Sunset Town."

Because Grendel was originally on Market Square Heroes and it closed the album. I'm not putting anything from compilations up, either.

Script For A Jesters Tear is in my opinion the perfect album opener.

Toughie, between Script, Gazpacho and Man of a Thousand Faces for me.
I voted for Gazpacho because that song got me into Marillion although Afraid of Sunlight isn't as good an album as Script.

I'm going with the opener from my favorite CD, and that would be "Bridge/
Living With The Big Lie". Just how it starts off so innocently, but unleashes
into "Living With The Big Lie" with pure sonic fury. An absolute stunner of an
opener to an equally brilliant disc.
