Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a perfect choice.....

As would be "The Talisman"

Day 19: The opening track to your favorite album

Well, one of my favorite albums is Tape Deck Heart by Frank Turner
The opening track is stellar... Recovery

 

[curious_slut]

I can't imagine a better album, Hot Fuss is still my favorite

Day 19: The opening track to your favorite album
This is almost fucking impossible. I’ve just been 15 minutes of my lunch break trying to figure out if it should be.

Buzzcocks - Orgasm Addict
The Cars - Let’s Go
Jesse Malin - Meet Me At The End Of The World
Any opener from any Spoon album
Any opener from any Hives album
Guided by Voices - Man called Aerodynamics
The Lurkers - She Knows
Blitz - We are The Boys
Motörhead - Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
Automatic - New Beginning
English Beat - Mirror in the Bathroom

If I gotta settle for one then:

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Bright Eyes - At the Bottom of Everything

Saw them play that entire album when it first came out. GWB was in town and played When The President Talks to God. I think they had just recorded it that week. Anyways Conor kinda lost his shit at show and was crawling around stage. Pretty wild.

You’re really pushing your luck with this one…

Ah I’m jealous. I’ve seen him a handful of times, with the band and solo, but not that album.
And he never did anything crazy like that at any of the shows I went to

 

[Friendlyneighboorhoodperv]

Not sure if this is my favorite album but I probably have listened to it more than anything

17) a song you'd choose for karaoke:
You Were Meant For Me - Jewel
No backing track, still getting over that cold and may be incubating COVID-19, please be nice LOL

Loved so many of your choices!! Glad you jumped in and joined us. And we even got Kitty Karaoke!! I love it thank you

Day 18: A song that tells a story

Adore this song

Day 18: A song that tells a story

Sleaford Mods - UK Grim

And what a trippy video, too

Welcome to the revolution!

I didn't pick two different songs. I did post two videos for the one song because my favorite video (2nd one) doesn't have the best sound quality. I will edit my post to remove the first video and include the lyrics instead.

Angelica was still in the spirit of one song!! Unlike you, @Mr_bogey
Don’t try to rope these innocents into your failed rebellion

Day 18- Songs that tell a story

Love this song!

Day 19: The opening track to your favorite album

I found today's theme totally relaxing because I have a favourite album, and it has one opening track... so there wasn't very much to think about.
Like Devo once said, "Freedom from choice/ Is what you want."

Leonard Cohen - Avalanche

 

[musicfan1976]

Day 19 Opening track

Zoo Station - achtung baby

But if I can go with first track on the back side of the album, The Fly

Amazing lyrics

 

[BernadetteRochelle]

Day 19, Opening track to my favorite album. The Width of a Circle ~ David Bowie.

 

[onanismaddict]

Too hard to choose my favourite album so I’m going with the latest album from one of fave artists.

Fantastic artist, and I'd never heard this excellent song before...
Thank you for sharing this one with us! Super cool video, as well. Awesome!

 

[onanismaddict]

Day 19, Opening track to my favorite album. The Width of a Circle ~ David Bowie.

Oh damn, good choice. It's been a long time since I've listened to The Man Who Sold the World... but now I want to.
That album was in pretty heavy rotation at my house for awhile there, so I had to shelve it for a bit... lol.

I've never owned vinyl so I don't have that problem. Lol

Day 19: The opening track to your favorite album

As a follow-up to my previous Bowie comment (lol)...
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) has never been in quite as heavy rotation for me as his earlier work.
But I'm not sure why... because every time I listen to it I'm blown away by what a great f'ing album it is!
In fact, I'm going to listen to it right now! Thanks for the inspiration...

 

[onanismaddict]

Day 19: The opening track to your favorite album

I believe that I love every song on this album.

I luv how you often advocate for this album, or songs from this album!
It's super cool when people consistently promote something they're passionate about. Great stuff.
And you're totally right, by the way. It's a fantastic album! Thank you for the recommendations.

Day 19 _ Opening track - Social Distortion Reach For The Sky

This album kills me, I love it and listen to it almost daily. There are some weird tracks in it but I love them cause they are so different! I'll go listen again too!

Day 19 Opening track of my favorite album
I've worn this album out

 

[Wonderer67]

Day 19 Opening track of my favorite album
I've worn this album out

There’s about four or five records I’ve been thru one copy and worn it out and had to get a second copy.

Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come
Blitz - Voice of a Generation
Love - Forever Changes
The Cars - Candy-O
Bad Brains - but that was a cassette

Maybe one or two more.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Last night went sideways and I’m so fucking tired I don’t even have the energy to be sassy.

Everyone… don’t be like Bogey

Hey… it’s a miracle @Mr_bogey can actually operate a computer at his age. He knows a lot about music. As a youth, he used to attend Ye Olde Baroque’n’Roll festivals of the day.

 

[ZfrkS62]

Opening track of favorite album

I've already said Powerslave was my favorite album earlier in this challenge, so here's the opener.

Iron Maiden "Aces High"

 

[ZfrkS62]

You’re really pushing your luck with this one…

To be fair, I've been in the same boat for multiple reasons.

1: you've got two "favorite album" qualifiers this month (11th and today), so whatever album you picked on the 11th, technically, today should be the opener from that album, BUTT (notice it's a big butt [I'll see myself out in a moment]) there's a risk of sounding terribly repetitive if you follow the prompts to the letter of the law.

2: favorite album could be "at the moment", in the last 5 years, of all time, or even of a specific genre. @Wonderer67 has a frustratingly relatable conundrum that I could mirror across a couple of genres.
