An album.

Nirvana track is a great call.

'Tis indeed, and that's a cracking pick from Lightning Bolt there Fenton. Two of my early choices down already.

Only In Dreams is a much better closer than Butterfly imo.Â

Best hidden track closer: Ash - Sick Party

regmcfly

We were listening to 1977 for the first time in ages last month and we forgot about that.

Compelling listening

I ummed and ahhed over those two songs for far too long. Only In Dreams is just wonderful, but Butterfly does funny things to me. Proper shivers down the spine every time I play it and I really dunno why. Manchild by Eels has a similar effect but to a lesser extent.

Again, a top skim of my iPod, this thread reminds me of the need to update with the stacks of CDs I should add.

The best:
The End - The Doors - The Doors
Glory Box - Dummy - Portishead
Voodoo Child - Electric Ladyland - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
A Day In The Life - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

The rest:
Champagne Supernova - (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
Street Spirit - The Bends - Radiohead
Night Prowler - Highway To Hell - AC/DC

Yossarian

The End is a good call. Just remembered Tomorrow Never Knows as well.

WorKid

The End is amazing. Going to listen again now. Riders... is also a pretty cool way to finish an L.P.

Mod74

Pretending to like desperately uncool tracks is only slightly less annoying than pretending to like desperately cool ones.

Yossarian

And who was doing tha... y'know what, fuck it. Hello again Mod.

krs

Sorry, Mod. I'm going to actually listen to those songs now as punishment.

...

Hmm, you know what? I actually rather like this stuff. Not really! Hahaha oh, dammit.

Fentonizer

I had a thought recently, it's not a top 5, but it is deliciously arbitrary.

Three sequential tracks from an album that go together really well, or give a really good flavour of what the artist/band is about.

So for example, Drebin, Magne and Reset, tracks, 7, 8 and 9 from Three Trapped Tigers' Route One Or Die.

Bonus points if they're not tracks one, two and three.

Olimite

I've always liked Crack Hitler, Jizzlobber and Midnight Cowboy from Angel Dust by Faith No More. A wondrous end to easily their greatest album.

Skerret

Mine Host, You Can't Keep A Bad Man Down, Ornaments/The Last Wrongs, 8 9 and 10 (closers) on Everyone Into Position, Oceansize. Yes, it's Oceansize yet again but I do think this is a helluva closing bracket.

It's an interesting one because since the front loading of albums became a thing commercially, all the choice noise tends to be at the front. Challenge accepted.

Also:

!(The Song Formerly Known As), Black Bugs, The World of Sleaze, 3 4 and 5 from Unit, Regurgitator.

Tempy

Soma, Geek USA, Mayonaise
(7,8,9)

Fentonizer

Voices In Winter/In The Realms of The Divine, Bullitts Dominae, The Twyncyn/Trembling Willows

6, 7 and 8 from Pure Reason Revolution's The Dark Third.

Seriously these three tracks are hella good together, I implore you to check it out.

I might actually build this Spotify Playlist; seems like a good one to do to get a feel for new music.

Howdy, Stranger!
