15 Great Opening Songs
Yesterday was best closing songs, today it's best opening songs, and I'm bored as crap at work |
| 1 | Streetlight Manifesto
We Will Fall Together
If you haven't figured out by my other lists, SM is one of my all time favorite bands, and to finally hear this new songs explode the beginning of the album was orgasmic |
| 2 | The Cure
Plainsong
Nothing can really amount to the exciment I felt when I was The Cure live, and they burst on stage with Plainsong. Mystical and enchanting opening |
| 3 | John Mayer
Clarity
I don't care what you think, John Mayer is a damned good musician! haha
Honestly though, he has a way with his music that is very orginal and even though it's mainstream on occasion, still feels like he tries to break away from it |
| 4 | Muse
New Born
Not sure what to say, relentless bass, steady drumming, and distored riff...it's Muse what else you want!? |
| 5 | Radiohead
Everything in its Right Place
They set the mood for the album once again, w/ a sense of distortion and not knowing what to expect |
| 6 | Massive Attack
Angel
Thing I love about Massive Attack is they can't be put in to one real genre. The simple cymble play and mysterious sounding bass make Angel a good reel in song |
| 7 | Nine Inch Nails
Head Like A Hole
Angst-ridden, chant worthy, and making pianos a cool instrument, NIN was a good fresh a breath air |
| 8 | Smasing Pumpkins
Cherub Rock
I was orginally thinking "Doomsday Clock" to show a good return, but then I remembered, nothing screams SP like the album the jumped their career to real rock stars |
| 9 | Disturbed
Voices
First song I heard from Disturbed, and my thought was "What is this amazingness?!" David Druman has one of th emost unique voices in the music industry |
| 10 | Flogging Molly
Screaming at the Wailing Wall
Irish punk rock, what more needs be said. Bagpipes, rapid drumming, and a raspy voice. Lets get our bar-fight on! |
| 11 | Institute
Bullet-Proof Skin
I respect Bush way more then Institute, and although they're diffrent bands, they started off w/ on a good note |
| 12 | Vedera
Trade This Fear
It's hard for me to like a female vocalist, but Vedera's singer is not just great, but sexy. You'll want to marry her just for her voice in their first song of this cd |
| 13 | U2
Where the Streets Have No Name
U2 to me is like Coldplay, I hate them b/c they honestly do make good music. When they played this song live for the superbowl few years back, every hair was standing up on my body |
| 14 | Interpol
Pioneers to the Fall
Haunting is the best way to put Pioneers. Echoing guitars, glooming organ, and distraught vocals; you're sucked in to Interpol |
| 15 | John Frusciante
Enter a Uh
Scarey...just scarey...distorted...but scarey is the main. |
