Default Best album opener and closer? Poll!!!
Okay, what is your favorite album closer and opener from FM? You don't have to pick just one if you can't make up your mind (like me )

Okay here goes:

Openers: Second Hand News, Emerald Eyes, Paper Doll

Closers: Never Forget, Wish you Were Here, Second Time, Why

My all time favorites though are Second Hand News and The Second Time. I love Second Hand News, am I the only one that things this song is a little dirty? In the classiest of ways though. And The Second Time is just a masterpeice, although I know I am in the minority there.

What about Stevie solo albums? Openers: Sometimes it's a Bitch, Blue Denim and TISL. Closers: B and the B.

So I would have to go with Bitch as my fav Stevie opener and B and the B as my favorite Stevie closer.

I honestly don't think there's much denying the sexual connotation in the lines "Won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff."

I think the best opener for an album, although this may be cheating, is The Chain from The Dance. WTWCT is my second favorite. Best closer is Gold Dust Woman.

Stevie solo the best opener is Wild Heart (unless I cheat again and say Enchanted from Disc 1 of "Enchanted"), and best closer is Love Is, imo anyway.

I think it's more than safe to assume it's dirty (in a good way, mind you)...how about the variation on this line later in the song, "Oh, couldn't you just let me go down and do my stuff"?

Remember the Saturday Night Live talk show spoof where Chris Farley sings those lines from Second Hand News as he brags that he uses them to pick up chicks?

Mac Opener: Second Hand News
Mac Closer: Gold Dust Woman, Goodbye Baby

Stevie Opener: ALL of them!
Stevie Closer: The Highwayman

Has anyone ever asked Lindsey if he is actually talking about, um, going down on someone?
