Son Volt - Trace.

Windfall

It was also their first three songs, period.

Replace Live Free with either Route or Drown, and this is the clear winner.

I'm gonna break the rules here...these three are not the first three on the album but rather 2-4...

Welcome to The Machine
Have a Cigar
Wish You Were Here

from Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album 1975

Agreed, Live Free is a good enough song but isn't in the same class as the other two (which are just greatness).

Actually, so far, I'd go with your pick of American Beauty. All 3 are gems.

I'll throw out Robert Palmer's "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley
Sailing Shoes
Hey Hey Julia
Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley

quote:

Automatic for the people: Drive; try not to breathe; the sidewinder sleeps tonite.

Ironically, my favorite three CLOSING songs are from this same album:
Man On The Moon
Nightswimming
Find the River

quote:

Steely Dan-The Royal Scam
1. Kid Charlemagne

They played this last night at the NO Arena.

I'll throw this in as well.

Mr Self Destruct, Piggy, Heresy - NIN - TDS is pretty damn strong.

also.

Airbag, Paranoid Android, and Subterranean Homesick Alien. Radiohead - OK Computer is solid.
