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. -------------

Pseudo Silk Kimono is a perfect opener , though MC is not my favorite album of theirs.

Script For A Jesters Tear is in my opinion the perfect album opener. ------------- If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks! |

Toughie, between Script, Gazpacho and Man of a Thousand Faces for me. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

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. E -------------

BRIDGE
the openingtrack for the Brave album. Sets the mood perfectly for this slightly depressing work of art. ------------- Interested in my reviews? You can find them http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=784 - HERE "...He will search until He's found a Way to take the Days..." |
