        Crass, I know, but 'Bittersweet Symphony' anyone? 'Gimme Shelter'? 'Now My Heart Is Full'?

          Although their names escape me, and I'll be called an emo boy, the opening tracks of Rival Schools' 'United By Fate' and Hey Mercedes' 'Everynight Fireworks' spring to mind. I can hear them both, just can't remember the titles... it's that 'aaaaaaaaaaargh' on the RS one that does it.

            I agree with the Rival Schools one (RIP). Also must add waiting room on 13 songs by fugazi.

              Seconded! And "Facet Squared" from 'In on the Kill Taker'.

                Maybe not Facet Squared, It's a bit too abrasive (maybe i'm just soft!). Break is another good Fugazi one from End Hits.

                  What's the song on The Argument with the two drumkits going?
                  THAT should've been the opening track.

                    Is it Epic Problem?

          I second The Queen Is Dead. Which is my third republican posting in 48 hours, so I'd better stop before I get done for sedition. No, wait: Fuck her.

          TQID opens "Rank" too. A new thread for live albums, gigs even? If so:

          Catchfire (Jesus & Mary Chain, "Live in concert", BBC)
          Can't shape up (Wonderstuff, "Cursed with insincerity")
