Mix #76: "Top 5 Records"

- Simple (not really) and fun. This entire mix is made of first tracks from albums. People tend to forget just how many killer cuts come from the beginning. For someone like myself who was never really into buying singles (unless on vinyl) the first 2 or 3 tunes on an album are make or break. One bad opener and I may never listen again. This list goes on forever ("Oh, that's not obvious enough Rob. How about the Beatles? Or fucking... fucking Beethoven? Side one, Track one of the Fifth Symphony... How can someone with no interest in music own a record store?") but these are some of my favorites. I know I missed a ton and trust me when I say I could have made 3 or 4 of these mixes easily. What did I miss? What would you put on your mix? Leave them in the comments and they may be in part 2.


Anyway, enjoy. And have a great weekend.
