    Had a scan and don't think I saw any of these mentioned; 

    Ramones - Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

    Journey - Escape - Don't stop Believen' 

    Boston - Boston - More than a feeling

    Bring me The Horizon - That's the Spirit - Doomed

    The Clash - London Calling - London Calling 

    Catatonia -  International Velvet - Mulder and Scully (personal fav)

    Republica - Republica - Ready to Go

    Sum 41 - Does this look Infected - The Hell Song (outrageous opening album track imo) 



    good choices there

    Leroy knows what it’s about. This is from probably the most underated album of the 90s (aside from all Gene albums that is!)

    To add to the mix I propose Crystal from Get Ready by New Order.

    Good shout that one @Redskin. I'd go so far as to say that the opening track on each of Ultravox first 4 albums are up there among the best.
    Saturday Night In The City Of The Dead - Ultravox 
    rockwrok - Ha Ha Ha
    Slow Motion - Systems Of Romance (My personal fave and my favourite album)
    Astradyne - Vienna

    Bill Withers - Just As I Am (Album ) - Harlem ( first Track ) - 1971

    Mark 1. I like both but prefer the less commercial stuff. You?

    Same here , really like John Foxx but i do like the more Synth pop side of the Midge Ure era .

    The early stuff is alright, but I do prefer them without the exclamation mark. I think Foxx developed a lot when he went solo too.
