Best opening 3 tracks on an album

[The Lemming Stomper]

Been listening to Gomez's debut Bring It On and I reckon Get Miles, Whippin' Picidilly and Make No Sound take some beating..

Parklife's Boys and Girls, Tracy Jacks and End of a Century pretty close..

Nice to hear other posters personal favs

 

[Bold Seagull]

An obvious one, but U2 Joshua Tree: 1. With or Without You 2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 3. Where The Streets Have No Name

takes some beating for me...

Nice shout.

The first 3 tracks on () by Sigur Ros are majestic. I think they're called untitled 1, 2 and erm, 3 (although they've all got proper names now which i don't have to hand).

The 3 openers on Takk are fantastic also.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

This just about counts because of the HAARP live album but Muse started many gigs in 2006/7 with

Knights of Cydonia
Hysteria
Supermassive Blackhole

which was pretty f**king incredible to witness live and not bad on the CD/DVD.

 

[Lush]

Queen - News of the World

We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
Sheer Heart Attack

 

[daveinprague]

Johnny Osbourne - Truth and Rights

Truths and Rights
Children Are Crying
Can't Buy Love

This.

 

[Beach Hut]

An obvious one, but U2 Joshua Tree: 1. With or Without You 2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 3. Where The Streets Have No Name

takes some beating for me...

Opens with Streets but is the right answer

 

[n1 gull]

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

The Queen is dead
Frankly Mr Shankly
I know its over

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Opens with Streets but is the right answer

I'd agree with that. Would also suggest the utterly majestic Marquee Moon by Television, as the whole thing's jaw-droppingly good.

 

[GT49er]

The start of 'Who's Next' takes some beating - or for an outside bet, take the first three tracks of Steve Miller 5 - such a happy sound it's impossible not to be lifted

 

[Questions]

Just been listening to some Bowie and the front three to Let's Dance are . . .

Modern Love
China Girl
Let's Dance

Not too shabby.
