Someone said in the ’favourite album closer’ topic that they’d like to create this topic, but were too afraid that they’d be repeating. Well, I’m sure you were repeating with the ’favourite album closer’ topic. Well... why not do it again? And to prevent total repetition, why don’t we indicate our least favourite album opener (because the tracks in the ’the worst song ever released on an album’ are all usually near the end of an album)
The Look
Joyride
How Do You Do!
Harleys & Indians (riders in the sky)
June Afternoon
Crush On You
Real Sugar
A Thing About You
Opportunity Nox
My Favourite Album Opener _______________
My Least Favourite Album Opener is _______________
Try to only pick one, it’s gets too confusing to start counting up 3 or 4 votes from one person.
There’s no point in including Soul Deep, cause a lot of us here hate it.

My Favourite Album Opener is How do you do
My Least Favourite Album Opener is June afternoon
there are some better songs, even in that list but these are the strongest and weakest openers in my view.

Favorite—Crush On You, although Harleys gives it a run for its money.
Least—Between June and Sugar (since I should give just one) I have to say June is the least fave.

@ Santi
Imagine, there are still people who can’t (won’t) understand what they’ve read...J.A.!
Was “Puls” there? And isn’t it by GT?? ;O
My favourite is “Harleys & Indians (Riders In The Sky)” and
the least favourite album opener is Joyride.

lol, no one said it had to be Roxette’s :D I didn’t read the word Roxette anywhere, and it’s by far better than any Roxette opener in my opinion, so I chose it :D
If it has to be only Roxette’s... oh well, I can’t decide... June Afternoon, I think :D

Fav... Crush on You
Least... Soul Deep
Track 2’s are usually better than track 1’s though :)

This is an interesting question, so I went home and listened to some Yoko Ono CDs and could not make a decision either way.

@ Santi
I think the alternatives were pretty clearly given! d

Fav: I was struggling between Harleys & Indians and June Afternoon and I’d have to say.... June Afternoon.
Least fav: Here also I struggeled between Joyride and Real Sugar. And the winner is... Real Sugar. But I might change my mind after I post this, so you never know! :o)

I can’t decide and choose one best and worst album opener, really.
Favourite could be Harleys & Indians or June Afternoon or Crush On You but... (look above). Least favourite - even worse question.
Here’s my statictics of your answers:
Soul Deep -1(1(fav):2(leastfav))
The Look not mentioned! neutral opener :)
Joyride +2(3:1)
How Do You Do! +1(2:1)
Harleys & Indians (riders in the sky) +2(4:2)
June Afternoon -1(3:4)
Crush On You +4(4:0)
Real Sugar -3(0:3)
A Thing About You -1(0:1)
Opportunity Nox -2(0:2)
As you see, nobody voted for The Look by now. Interesting fact.
Absolutely best balance has Crush On You - only “positive” votes.
Real Sugar has the worst balance.
There are two tracks which received the biggest number of votes: Harleys & Indians and June Afternoon. In some way they are winners - they didn’t left indifferent persons.
BTW did you notice all the openers except ATAY are uptempo songs
PS Sorry for long topic :)
