Favourites for setting the scene - Under My Wheels or even Welcome To My Nightmare.

Least favourite, pretty difficult really but if pushed I would say Zorro's Ascent ... dreadful on so many levels

Cool thread made me realize that Alice knows the importance of starting off an LP on a strong note- Caught in a Dream, Wheels, School's O., Hello Hooray, Go To Hell, Hot Tonight, From the In., etc...

Favorite-"Caught in a Dream"-Favorite song EVER-perfect on so many levels.
Least Favorite-"Triggerman"-as Mr. Bluelegs pointed out,so many strong opening tracks. I'm not really crazy about DRAGONTOWN as a whole.
And while we are on the subject...

Can't narrow so:

BEST: Hello Hooray, WTMN, GTH, Dada, Talk Talk, all great.

LEAST: unfortunately a lot here too but mainly: Zorro's Ascent, Teenage Frankenstein, Woman of Mass Distraction, I Know Where You Live, I Am Made of You.

In my opinion, there's no absolute best or worst, your favorite could be my least and your least could be my favorite, whatever your choice is, but one that I absolutely hate, that I can't stand, is ''Hey Stoopid'', opening or closing.
