Geat album openers and closers. Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells Part One opens side one Tubular Bells Part One closes side one Tubular Bells Part Two opens side two Tubular Bells Part Two closes side two Pink Floyd -The Wall "...we came in?" opens side one "Isn't this where..." closes side four Iron Butterfly In A Godda Da Vida closes side two but opens the legend Eric Clapton- Behind The Sun Behind The Sun sadly closes side two Oasis Be Here Now D'You Know What I Mean? opens the album Bush The Science of Things Warm Machine opens the album Bush Sixteen Stone X-Girlfriend closes the album (some sort of bull moose noise - "Eins swei drei fier) 45 seconds of rock Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill mystery untitled song closes the album Terence Trent D'Arby Symphony Or Damn Welcome To My Monasteryo opens the album and invites you to be seated comfortably just before She Kissed Me forces you back on your feet Billy Idol - Rebel Yell Rebel Yell opens side "three" The Dead Next Door closes side "four" Electric Light Orchestra Face The Music Fire On High opens side one with it's haunting backmaskings and phoenitic reversals. Sort of makes you not want to go to sleep for a while. One Summer Dream tries to make the nightmares disappear and softly settle you down for slumber and closes side two The Cult - Love Nirvana opens side one Nirvana - Nevermind like 15 minutes of silence and then feedback and other noise finishes a somewhat amusing, talentless but spirited album |

"Knights of Cydonia" closes Black Holes & Revelations by Muse, which is one of their best songs IMO. "Care of Cell 44"/"Time Of The Season" opens/closes Odessey & Oracle by The Zombies. Two great songs. "The Music Box" opens Nursery Cryme by Genesis. Ohh love that song. |

He's right you know Who's Next? Two of the greatest rock 'n' roll songs of all time open and close it. Thats probably my pick for album with best opener and closers. |
