What’s the best?
A few suggestions to start us off:
Help Me/Free Man in Paris/People’s Parties (Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark)
Ziggy Stardust/Sufragette City/Rock and Roll Suicide (David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust)
The Classical/Jaw-bone and The Air Rifle/Hip Priest (The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour)
Boy Child / Hero of the War / The Old Man’s Back Again
(Let down by Duchess immediately afterwards)
Man on the Moon > Nightswimming > Find the River
Chores > For Rev Green > Fireworks
Couple of personal faves.
There’s quite a few candidates on those records. How about My Death/The Big Hurt/Such a Small Love from Scott? Or Copenhagen/Rosemary/Big Louise from Scott 3?
First thing that comes to mind and It could be said it’s because it stands so clearly above the rest of the album but
Moderat - S/T - A New Error/Rusty Nails/Seamonkey.
I was always quite a big fan of the first 3 of Menomena’s Friend and Foe too.
Muscle n Flo/The Pelican/Wet And Rusting
I need to think about this more though…
For an R.E.M. one you can’t beat the first three tracks of Reckoning - Harborcoat/7 Chinese Bros/So. Central Rain.
Backstreets/Born to Run/She’s the One (Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run)
One More Time/Aerodynamic/Digital Love (Daft Punk - Discovery)
After The Gold Rush/Only Love Can Break Your Heart/Southern Man
(Neil Young - After the Gold Rush)
Cruel/Cheerleader/Surgeon
(St Vincent - Strange Mercy)
Orbital.
Lush 3-1/Lush 3-2/ Impact (The world is burning) Some of the best dance music ever.
Isn’t Anything: Sueisfine > Several Girls Galore > You Never Should
Throwing Muses: Green > Hate My Way > Vicky’s Box
Crosseyed And Painless/The Great Curve/Once In A Lifetime
