You know that doesn't touch Vauxhall and I, easty.

I realise it's almost sacrilege to acknowledge that Morrissey made a better album than The Smiths made, but deep down we all know it's true...

At their best songwriting, Alan Whyte/Boz Boorer > Johnny Marr

Ben

I like Mozzas solo stuff, some tip top tunes. Not a patch on the Smiths though.

Not having that song writing one either. All you have to do is listen to How Soon is Now. Nothing Mozza done on his jacks comes anywhere near that. I prefer Electronic to Mozzas solo stuff.

The Smiths was Johnny Marr with Mozzas words. Johnny Marr was the main man in that relationship.

Tru dat.

[Avalon_Fields]

Always loved the opening numbers on Songs for the Deaf:

You think I ain't worth a dollar, but I feel like a millionnaire

No one knows

First it giveth 

 

[CajunMoon]

'Grasshopper' by J.J. Cale

1. City Girls
2. Devil in Disguise
3. One Step Ahead of the Blues

[FuzzyDunlop]

I think I'll plump for

Drive - Try not to breathe - Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

As an opener "Drive" takes some beating.

Gimme Shelter is probably the best ever opener

 

 

 

[DJ Cull]

Some more selections:

Get Innocuous! / Time To Get Away / North American Scum

Two Divided By Zero / West End Girls / Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

Let's Go Crazy / Take Me With U / The Beautiful Ones

The Things That Dreams Are Made Of / Open Your Heart / The Sound of the Crowd

[CajunMoon]

If we are allowed more than one album AND if 'Way to Blue' by Nick Drake counts (released as a compilation years after he died) then I'll also have:

1. 'Cello Song (all time favourite song)
2. Hazey Jane I
3. Way to Blue

Looking forward to somebody starting the 'greatest last 3 tracks of an album' thread soon...

Incident > Rosalita > NYC serenade

Get in Maelzoid!!!! Kittys Back lets the front three down.

[Badlands]

Haven’t read all of the pages so apologies if has been mentioned earlier but:

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Come Together
I Think I’m In Love

Not my favourite album by any stretch but that’s an opening salvo up there with the best of them.
 

[charlottesometimes]

Depeche Mode | Violator:

World In My Eyes

Sweetest Perfection

Personal Jesus

 

Massive Attack | Mezzanine:

Angel

Rising Son

Teardrop

[somecoolusername]

Would say Portishead - Dummy but it's pretty much a perfect album from start to finish.
