Simple Task: Name Best Song On Each Album

[Pol]

Apologies if i was out of order on my last post in this thread.
Anna you forget all of this live rarities lol

[Pazza]

Been done before, but a long time ago.

Personally, I'd sooner re-start Jibberish's thread

http://board.newmodelarmy.org/index.php?topic=6729.0

Shush you need to get out a bit more 🚶

You can start with Northampton and reading.. 💀

[Space]

i guess for eight is an album that has the best tracks 1 to 4 ever on an album

I don't know if they are the best four songs to lead of any album ever, but no doubt the first four tracks on EIGHT are a great beginning to any album. Very, very strong songs. Unfortunately, the rest of that album can't compete with those opening four tunes. "Paekakariki Beach" is the best song after those opening four. That "wheeling....turning...circling...flying" refrain is pure magic.

[Heno]

yeah, snelsmore wood stands out too. that said it is one of those albums by anyone that i can listen to from start to finish



other album that has such a stunning start is the love of hopeless causes. like who would expect fate after here comes the war.  and then follow up with living the rose and white light


crying out in fury to the gods of fate.....................come on and get me if you can

fuckers

We're crying out in our pride to the gods of fate
Come on and get us if you can

 Strange Brotherhood –  Lullaby
Eight –  You Weren't there
Carnival – Another Imperial Day

Hi Amanda,

The Price isn't actually a track from Vengeance but more the Independant Story

 

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Morning 

If only you could all see how red in the face I am. It came to me in my sleep last night that I have also made an unwarranted claim to greatness. Harking back to the sound of my own voice again, in my first post. I said I was an NMA geek but I forgot about singles, ep's, 12” and the such like. Honestly, tut tut Anna. No doubt you all think I've been bigging myself up in a very arrogant fashion 

But then again the thread title says albums (but there all the different versions of albums, compilations, imports etc.....) and I wouldn't want to take the discussion beyond any defined parameters. I'm just all at sixes and sevens. I'm such a ditzy broad. I just don't understand this internet manners business. However if talk doesn't evolve we're just sat here listening to our own voices and not learning from what anyone else has to offer a debate. I don't know it's so confusing. 

Just In case though, Heno – still pondering your interesting development of this thread. The hows and whys of what makes for a “best” song is fascinating. Feels like there is a dissertation in that. Better fill the kettle up and buy a packet of biscuits my friend, you might need them.

Enjoy your Sunday everybody, hope its sunny and full of blue sky (warmth is probably a bit much to hope for) – I'm off to Archery, talk to you all later.
