speaking of which-

Guided by Voices "Bee Thousand"
Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory
Hot Freaks
Smothered in Hugs

although, really, the whole album is non-stop.

I almost picked those very same 3

also, i'd like to add the first 3-4 on Psychocandy.

Sonic Youth - Confusion is Sex

Inhuman
World Looks Red
Confusion is Next

Intersting side bar for the album owners back in the day: How many of these tracks we're actually consecutive before CD's?

King Crimson's "Red"
Red
Fallen Angel
One More Red Nightmare

The first three songs on PJ Harvey's "Stories from the City…"

"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"

Agreed. That album is a masterpiece.

another vote for side 2 of neil young's "on the beach"

on the beach
motion pictures
ambulance blues

laid back epitomized

that neutral milk album rox too

ryan adams - "heartbreaker", #s 2-5

"to be young"
"my winding wheel"
"amy"
"oh my sweet carolina"

it would be better without "amy", but i could definitely listen to those on a loop for a long time

oh, and for REM, i'd take tracks 3-5 from "reckoning":

"So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)"
"Pretty Persuasion"
"Time After Time (Annelise)"

although that whole first side (1-5) is pretty much perfect (hard to leave "harborcoat" and "7 chinese brothers" out)

Iggy Pop's Lust for Life…1)Lust for Life…2)Sixteen…3)Some Weird Sin

Speaking of Pavement
opening of Wowee Zowee:

1. We Dance
2. Rattled by the Rush
3. Black Out

Why wasn't this album more popular?

I Wanna Be Adored
She Bangs The Drums
Elephant Stone

Stone Roses s/t

i think that wowee zowee is just so disjointed, there's no sense that it's going anywhere. that being said, father to a sister of thought is one of my favorite pavement songs.

however, when a song from wowee zowee comes up on my ipod, i don't skip it. individually, i like the songs, as an album. . .ehhh. sort of also how i feel about rem's "green."
