Favorite openers
"Remember Me" from Penguin (probably their best opener ever!)
"Emerald Eyes" from Mystery To Me
"Monday Morning" from Fleetwood Mac
"Second Hand News" from Rumours
"Big Love" from Tango In The Night

Favorite closers
"Trying So Hard To Forget" from Mr. Wonderful
"Show Me A Smile" from Future Games
"Caught In The Rain" from Penguin
"Why" from Mystery To Me
"Gold Dust Woman" from Rumours
"Goodbye Baby" from Say You Will

On Stevie's albums, my favorite opener has to be "Rooms On Fire" from The Other Side Of The Mirror or the title track of Trouble In Shangri-La; and my favorite closer would be "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You" from Rock A Little.

We could have a completely different subject about what songs SHOULD have been openers or closers. I strongly feel that "What's The World Coming To" shouldn't have opened Say You Will, or that "Bella Donna" should not have opened Bella Donna... I say those places belong to "Bleed To Love Her" and "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"... Same with "Skies The Limit"... I do believe Behind The Mask should have been opened by "In The Back Of My Mind"; or Time... it should start with "I Do" and end with... I don't know... "All Over Again".

Oh well.




Song of the moment - Red Rover

Opener:
SHA-- it just gets me geared up for the rest of the album, and I never get tired of hearing it.

Closer:
Never Forget--what a great way to wrap up an album, and on such a positive and hopeful note too.

that should be SHN (Second Hand News)!! I don't know what SHA is!!
