Greatest Album Side Opener, Side B Edition: Nomination Round

Recommended Posts

OK, we're just about done with the Side A edition, so let's get started with the Side B openers. One of the cool aspects of vinyls was that any given album was kind of split up into two different listening experiences. Typically, studios put the strongest track as the Side A opener, and had the second strongest open Side B. Sometimes, when hearing an album for the first time, people would even start with side B. Imagine being an AC/DC fan recovering from the death of Bon Scott, wondering if the band could go on, and you put on Back In Black's title track as the first song to check out... Blown away!

 

So, as before, no RUSH will be included in the elimination rounds, and let's try to keep serial posting to a minimum.

 

Here we go...

That clinking-clanking-crunching sound of coins, slot machines and cash registers was a brilliant way to open the song and the flip side of a perfect album.
