My favorite album opener is The Black Crowes' "Sting Me" from their Southern Harmony & Musical Companion.
Interesting! "Gone" from Amorica is one of my favorite album openers.
Just in my honest opinion, but the best one-two-three punch to start off a rock n' roll album of all time is:
Sting Me
Remedy Thorn In My Pride
. . . from Southern Harmony & Musical Companion. I do like "Gone" from Amorica as well, which is probably the Crowes' masterpiece. "Don't neglect meeeee; c'mon and be, be my conspiracyyy!"
That R. Kelly track is embarrassing! He needs to stick with piss!
Yet, there's something strangely alluring about it; almost like when I see my cat eat her own vomit. It's disgusting but I can't stop watching how disgusting it it.
I think I've listened to it eight or nine times, losing my shit eight or nine times!
