The best song that opened an album
 

First of all.. yes, I did closed my other thread because I forgot to mark the poll option. Case closed.

Now, let's enjoy it!! What song you considered was the best choice to open its album,

no live albums included. and just Rumours and post-R lineups albums listed in the poll. But as usual, all comments are welcome ;)

Second Hand News. A fab song that opens a fab album. :thumbsup:

Big Love!!!!!
 

hard decision to me, bu I choose Big Love, a song full of energy. I miss the original style live!

O&O and MM followed closely. In fact they usually choose the right song to open their albums

Actually, my favorite would be "The Chain" off of "The Dance" but I guess I'll vote for "Big Love"

Over & Over is definitely my favorite of all of those, although it's not exactly an upbeat opener song. But I still love it!

I voted SHN. Over and Over would be second. I love the coda at the end.

Oooh, yes, I'm with you on that one!

But of the choices, I'm going with SHN. I love the way it fades in & intros the album.

"Doodle eee doo, doodle eee doo...."
 

Big Love for me too, it's the first Mac song I've ever listened to.

Second Hand News is my first choice.

"Over and Over" !!! Christine's best Buckingham/Nicks era song. AND it completely defines the dreamy, Cali-pop, laid back vibe that is Tusk. Ya know.... pot, tube-top sundresses, big floppy hats, really tight jeans that identify one's religion ( :thumbsup: ).... some of the proceding imagery copyright Amber. :laugh:

I chose Monday Morning, as it was our first introduction to Lindsey Buckingham (and Stevie Nicks).

"Big Love," closely followed by "Second Hand News"

Good point - I mighta hit that if it was there... :wavey: When i hear those big booms, then that big base, so much fuller than on Rumours, it almost brings me to tears....

You're so cute. I love how you thought that was so funny.... :laugh: :xoxo:
I saw a tube dress in Victoria's secret - i'm gonna get it...unfortunately,(or, perhaps, fortunately? :p ) it's not see through. And i'm mediocre on the baton :lol:

Hands down, "Big Love"... in my opinion.

And might I add that "Over and Over" is the worst song to start any album?

Sorry, but it's a downright yawnfest of a song, and to open with it? What were they thinking?

1. Over and Over
2. What's The World Coming To?
3. Monday Morning
4. Coming Your Way
5. Child Of Mine

An Opener I don't like is Second Hand News :xoxo:

I'm not alone!!!

:blob2:

I agree 100%!!

Well, I don't really agree with the "yawnfest" part...but, it really sucks as an album opener. They should've ENDED one of the LP sides with it. They should've opened Tusk with "Honey Hi".


Oh BTW, I voted for "Love In Store"....because it was my favorite of the ones listed.

Since "Emerald Eyes" wasn't on the list, I voted for "Second Hand News".

Talking to My Heart is actually a realy nice song and I almost want to vote for it. However, SHN is the one I listen to the most and prob. enjoy the most. It depends on my mood.
Anyone else like Talking to My Heart?

Me!! And I almost voted for it too... But I ended up voting for 'Over & Over'.

Over and Over is my favorite out of all of those songs, but it just doesn't work as an opener. However, the moody vibe of the song really gives you an idea of what the album is going to be like. I went with Second Hand News because it's so much fun and an excellent opener.

Well actually I LOVE Time, but the one of two songs I dislike are Talkin To My Heart

I like the song, a lot, actually...I just didn't think it made that great of an opener. They should've opened Time with "I Do", then had "Talking To My Heart" second.

Two of my fave openers...along with "Heroes Are Hard To Find" & "This Is The Rock", too.

I went with Skies (Sky's) The Limit. I dunno why...just like it as an opener. :D


-Curtis

Ditto-us Agree-um.
(that's latin for Yes, I agree with what you said :laugh: )
AMber

I'm going to have to go with "Second Hand News" for the fade-in, catchy/upbeatness (Is upbeatness a word? :lol: ), and especially for the bam..bam...bams! You got to love those. :p

I finally agree with you!

watch ur step! :eek:

You know while I don't like this song all that much, I love the way it punches the speakers. I dont like I don't wanna know either, but this does the same effect too!

I chose Monday Morning because of the way it it just hits you like, MONDAY
MORNING YOU SURE LOOK FINE!...it's a beginning and the rest of the song (and album) just takes you for a ride right along with it.

I love Over and Over too, but the album is so fragmented. I like it when an album tells a story (like Pink Floyd's stuff does) Am I making any sense here?

O&O would be the worst song to start Rumours or Tango, but it's a good introduction for Tusk. Kind of.. hey, this is what you must expect...

"Second Hand News", without any shadow of doubt. Yes, "Emerald Eyes" makes up for a fantastic opener, too.

I see your point, but I still think it's a bad choice. I think "Think About Me" would have been a better opener.
