New statement: Monday Morning is a fine example where the first song on a first album (in this case of a new era) does a good job of setting up what else is in store.

Disagree - you know, I've only ever enjoyed having "Monday Morning" as the first track three times, and they were all on the same day - at the concert of 15/12/09, and later that night when I played CD1 of TVBOFM twice. Mind, I thought "Monday Morning" would be the perfect concert opener, and it was. (And I was in such a rockin' mood after the concert I loved hearing it as the first track on TVBOFM.) But when it comes to their album and compilations, I don't like it as the first track. I've done lengthy explanations of why in posts of long ago. Needless to say (coming from me), I don't think it's quite like much of their other music, in that it always seems way, way louder than anything else they've done... at least to me. Also, I prefer at least a little instrumentation to open an album. So, no, it says nothing about what else is in store. ("The Chain", however... ) "Over My Head" would've been the better opener imo.
(Phew, that was long! )
Although old hat by now, "The Chain" really is the most suitable opener for any FM compilation.
