Might as well have this one now before playlists etc. entirely wipe out the "rock album" as we once knew it. What is your pick for greatest opening and second track on a record (1-2 punch)? Name the record and tracks..
Van Halen I "Running With The Devil" "Eruption" I don't think it can be overstated what these tracks did to the musical landscape of the 70's/80's.
Profound. EVH graced the cover of every guitar magazine from 1978 until Stevie Ray came along. I remember Tom Sholz was the guy right before that (for about 5 minutes). I'm sure he was shaking his head in disbelief when he heard VH-I.
I have a couple.... Danish: Volbeat - The Strength The Sound The Songs 1. Caroline Leaving 2. Another Day Another Way Another danish band, a bit more quiet, but still gooooood: Dizzy Mizz Lizzy - Dizzy Mizz Lizzy 1. Waterline 2. Barbwired Baby's Dream German and great: Rammstein - Mutter 1. Mein Herz Brennt 2. Links 2 3 4 And of course: Metallica - Master of Puppets 1. Battery 2. Master of Puppets :notworth::nana3:
Pearl Jam-Ten 1.Once 2.Even Flow STP #4 1.Down 2.Heaven & Hot Rods Audioslave-Audioslave 1.Cochise 2.Show Me How To Live Man the there are lots of albums with great opening tracks that are followed by a weak #2 track. The Stooges-Fun House,Hendrix-Are You Experienced have great openers.
Definitely.. I'm putting up a vote for The Clash: London Calling/Brand New Cadillac Makes the blood flow!
Dio's Holy Diver 1) Stand up and shout 2) Holy Diver Ozzy's Diary of a madman 1) Over the mountain 2) Flying high again Old school metalhead, sorry hehe
