Track 1... The Album

[Vehicle]

I've had this idea for a while.

It's pretty simple. Create your own personal albums using nothing but some of your favorite opening tracks.

I say some, because coming up with you 10 absolute favorites is probably something that might give a person an ulcer.

The only restrictions:

1. Try and keep it in the rock genre.

2. No repeat artist. (I had a mini-stroke trying to decide between Got To Choose and I Stole You Love)

3. Keep it in the classic album format. 10 songs.

Ok? Let the gnashing of teeth begin!



1. Scuttle Buttin' - Stevie Ray Vaughan
2. Got To Choose - KISS - Hotter Than Hell
3. Mean Street - Van Halen - Fair Warning
4. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
5. Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
6. Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
7. Devour - Shinedown - The Sound Of Madness
8. Under My Wheels - Alice Cooper - Killer
9. Keep Yourself Alive - Queen - Queen
10.Heat In The Street - Pat Travers - Heat In The Street
