So I picked Over and Over assuming I might be the only vote......what a shock to see so many others love it too.

(of course this is the home of Tusk fans)

It's the perfect opening for shows. I like it far more than The Chain, except in The Dance and the 1997 Reunion tour, when this song got a special meaning and fitted perfectly for the moment.

The only thing I didn't like about the Chain was Christine's harmony was a little hot (loud in the mix) sometimes affecting the blend. And Lindsey's "blah blah blah" screams at the end were a bit weird. His guitar was amazing on the Dance tho..

I went with Monday Morning, Second Hand News being second. You need a nice, uptempo song to get a record going. :cool:

I'm not sure Sleeping Around the Corner was the best choice for the opening track. Not a bad song, but I'd have chosen Red Sun or On With the Show.

I’ve always loved WTWCT. It reminds me of Zevon.

Let’s not forget “Heroes Are Hard to Find” in 1974 — a shining vocal by Christine and one of her best songs.

A-men on both counts.
WTWCT does not get much love around here. Its a great opening track. I love Over and Over but its a bit somber for an opening track IMHO.

My vote goes to Love In Store or Second Hand News. Something with a step or two.

I too LOVE WTWCT. I'll never understand why people hate it.
