The Ultimate Album By Track

Post by 101Walterton »

Ok I have been trying to work out how this will work for a while but here goes. I want to compile the ultimate album track by track number.
This is how it works:
There will be 6 tracks per side but a ghost track at the end.
To start you have to nominate your favourite side 1 track 1 song from any album.
We then go side 1 track 2 etc..
For CD albums it only includes tracks 1-12 (plus any ghost / unarmed tracks at the end of the CD).
You can only use albums in their original formats, no imports, delux releases, re releases etc.
No compilations or live albums this only studio albums.
Obviously any song that is a non album track is excluded.
The Clash are excluded from this poll.
When I have the nominations for tracks 1-12 plus the extra track we will have a poll to decide which side 1 track 1 song gets in etc..

Before I waste my time in this is it a good idea?

I'll play. I like polls.

Ok let’s start and see if there is interest.

Please nominate your favourite song (only one) that is side 1 track 1 or track 1 on CD.

Could spend hours thinking but going with first thought that entered my head. AC/DC. Love an opener that thunders into an album and For Those About To Rock does that in spades. Highway To Hell also, but going with the former.

I used to love kicking mixed tapes off with the Phil Spector version of Rock n Roll Radio.

I'd go for Baba O'Reily, I always think that's a good statement of intent.
