To my mind, you need something wistful and slightly epic, to leave you thinking "What an album that is".

My choices would be:

"Everyone's a VIP to someone" by the Go! Team (from "Thunder Lightning Strike")
"Fin" by Pavement (from "Brighten The Corners")
"Fillmore Jive" by Pavement (from "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain")

Decided decades ago. Never to be surpassed. A Day In The Life on Sgt Pepper. Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.....

'Delicate Cutters' from Throwing Muses (Throwing Muses)
'Green Mind' from Green Mind (Dinosaur Jr)
'Gouge Away' from Doolittle (Pixies)
'Isn't it a pity' from Today (Galaxie 500)

you'd never guess I was in my early 40s

To be honest, i've never listened to your first choice in its entirety - my concentration span isn't what it used to be. Strange, because i love the album. Ok then - 17 minutes and 41 seconds here i come. doesn't it take about 7 minutes to warm up??

The Tengo tune does go on a bit. You have to be in the right mood for it. (I take it you haven't heard "Sunsquashed"?)
