ITT: Albums where the 2 best tracks are the opener/closer
I'll start

...

oh thats a good one ya goof

...

*of side one

You might as well post every classic prog album.

Why does so much prog fit this mold

Someone post an album with 2 tracks because it would be so fucking hilarious. I can't be bothered.

...

...

...

...

south side of the sky, five per cent for nothing, long distance runaround/the fish are all better than roundabout.

and you and i is secretly the best song on the album

was gonna post this, Wurlitzer is underrated af

bad opinion

1st part of this: correct
2nd part: extremely yikes

lol. and you and i is obviously better than siberian khatru, and about as good as close to the edge

Siberian Khatru > Close to the Edge > And You And I

Siberian Khatru is the greatest song Yes ever wrote.

>the vocal+snare jabs at the tail end of the song
pure kino

Because prog starts with he most accessible and ends with the most epic (or vice versa).

Also
>inb4 Thick as a Brick

Haha

...

Honestly for all Taxman is "GOVERNMENT GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" it's seriously one of the best songs in Revolver.

Ah, what the fuck, misclicked on something and this came up.

Anyway, I think it's because prog had a desire of a journey, there are very few shorter prog songs. And the best moments have to be the first track, to truly grip you onto the album, and the last one, to release everything as one grand burst of emotion. Hence why in quite a few prog albums the first and last tracks are the best.

Here's another one that fits the bill.

...

>not posting the most obvious one
SHORT

Epitaph is the best track on this album though sorry

...

...

Red has Red and Starless

...

...

B-but The Book Of Saturday?

ITT: generally good albums
What exactly did they mean by this?

...

...

...

These are correct. Also pic related, even though all the tracks are great, Debaser and Gouge Away are god-tier bookends.

Forgot pic like a total autist. But obviously, I was talking about this noisy little beast.

*inhales*
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

love this entire album but intro and Dendron are on another level

Correct on both counts.

...

...

Nobody is saying the other tracks aren't good, just that the first and last are the best.

...

...

fuck I was going to post this one you cheeky cunt

...

Introduction is one of the best openers of all time, no matter what people may feel about the rest of the album or the group itself/genre.

...

...

correct and correct

586 though. Ultraviolence though. Your Silent Face though.

...

...

>>haha mommy look i posted trout mask replica again without any reason !! XDD im so funny !

4.5/10 Post

>My Name Is Jonas
yeah it's a good song but imo it's not better than say it ain't so, the world has turned and left me here, or even in the garage

I respect your opinion though, I see where you're coming from and yeah, only in dreams 10/10 closer

...

...

Are you petarted

You can't honestly think Among the Wildflowers isn't the best song on that album

Both very good songs but Waiting is probably the best song Green Day have ever released.

Definitely this, though in fairness there are only like 4 songs I actually like on that album, the rest just don't do anything for me.

Absolutely this

also pic related, applies to New Bermuda as well

Not sure if everybody loves My Warm Blood as much as me

When Big Joan Sets Up is in the middle though

The Doors s/t
heh

dreams burn down fags pls go

I wish the instrumental at the start of it was longer

The best songs are Dreams Burn Down and Vapour Trail, actually, and you are a wrong person

...

nice shitpost my friend

Patrician opinion

>2 GOAT tracks
>rest is filler
Why is this allowed?

you should be sorry, your opinion's shit

there are like 4 or 5 songs better than view from the afternoon

...

...

I prefer Ruiner and Reptile, but I won't argue, those are awesome tracks.

Say what you will about Frownland, but it gives you a pretty good idea of not just the album but Captain Beefhearts entire discography

I liked Hanging Around by The Stranglers. The opening is GOAT.

...

came to post this

Yarp

Caravan - In the land of grey and pink

>I MISS YOUUU

But Add it up, prove my love, promise, kiss off and gone daddy gone

Oh, silly user. Reverend Green/Fireworks is in the middle of the album.

...

Is this a Jojo reference?

In Utero
