Kacey Musgraves with Slow Burn is probably my favorite opener. Just so dreamy

Replying to boneman429 (#1,189,713)

Good call, though I’d take Finest Worksong or What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? Or maybe Radio Free Europe.

Best second song on an REM album maybe a tighter contest… 7 Chinese Bros, Losing My Religion, Crush With Eyeliner, Wake-Up Bomb, etc.

The song "Giant" from "Beautiful Midnight" by Matthew Good Band. The cheerleaders doing the K-I-C-K-A-S-S cheer, then the guitar feedback comes in followed by the heavy drums. Amazing start to an amazing album.
