Album Openers
#16

EricStoner Wrote:1-Poets (Special place in my heart for PP)
2-Little Bones (Love the opening guitar riff)
3-Music At Work (Always cheers me up)
4-Grace Too (Classic)
5-Gift Shop (Reminds me of my summers spent in Algonquin Park)
6-Blow At High Dough (The mystery of its lyrics keeps me hooked)
7-Heaven Is A Better Place Today (This song got me into the Hip. I'm from Elmira and this song was everywhere after Danny Snyder died)
8-Yer Not The Ocean (Love the explosive guitar right at the start)
9-Morning Moon (Love the song but will have to see how it fits with the rest of WATS)
10-Are You Ready (Catchy tune but never really got into it)
11-Small Town Bringdown (Where it all began, never really liked the song though)
12-Courage (I just really don't like this song...)

With almost all of these songs I have some sort of connection with (maybe even every Hip song) so this was actually pretty tough to do.

PS. Am I the only one on this board who doesn't like Courage? lol

It's quite the opposite, IMO. I haven't seen too many on here who really seem to like the song.

Are we talking studio versions of the songs? There are several songs that are so much better live that it's not even funny (Music At Work, Poets). I'll make my list based on the studio versions.

Anyway, here goes nothing:

1. Grace, Too (legendary)
2. Blow At High Dough
3. Gift Shop
4. Yer Not The Ocean
5. Are You Ready
6. Courage
7. Heaven Is A Better Place Today
8. Music At Work
9. Poets
10. Little Bones
11. Morning Moon
12. Small Town Bringdown

Hey, to each his own. But how can anyway honestly say they like "Are You Ready" more than "Little Bones"?

I can honestly say it very, very, very easily. I might change my mind next week, though. Smile

1.Giftshop............. (Easily one of my favorite Intros of any song, by any band all-time. just beautiful!)
2.Poets ...........(I've always liked this song, not too laid back but not way over the top. just right. for me at least)
3.Little Bones .......(I've grown a little tired of this song, but it cant be denied 3rd spot)
4.Grace, Too ........(i think this one could go as high as number 2 depending on the day lol.)
5.Blow at high dough .... (If this were a judgement of opening songs played live..this would be at the top)
6.Morning Moon.....(I'm still in the honeymoon phase with it, however, i cant see it falling below any of the following)
7.Courage ...........(When i first got into the hip i liked this song alot, maybe ive just heard it too often)
8.Small town bringdown .......(nothin really wrong with it. just had stiff competition)
9.Music at Work .........(Not one of my fav's. no real reason)
10.Yer Not the ocean ..(i get a cheesey feeling in my stomach whenever i hear it. live it rocks, but on the album..)
11.Heaven is a better place today ........(Not my cup of tea. never really stuck with me)
12.Are you ready ........(I Genuinely dont like this song.)


that'll do....that'll do

I'll take a stab at this...

1.Grace, Too ...............................(for me and over time, this is pretty much the only consistent thing on this list, G2 is my favorite opening song on any album)
2.Giftshop...................................(love this song too...)
3.Morning Moon............................(so far, I'm digging it)
4.Poets .....................................(great live, great studio version too)
5.Blow at High Dough ......................(great rocker)
6.Little Bones ..............................(prefer Blow to LB, at least at this particular moment)
7.Courage ..................................(similar to the poster above, FC was the album and Courage the song that got me into the Hip back in '93 - but I've grown tired of it)
8.Small town bringdown ..................(I would need to hear it live to give it fair judgement)
9.Are you ready ............................(meh...)
10.Heaven is a better place today .......(meh 2...)
11.Music at Work ..........................(I love this album, but not so much this song)
12.Yer Not the ocean .....................(not overly enthusiastic about the album in general)
