Music's greatest opening lines

[mrjez]

Don’t do a deep dive into whether the song is The Sound Of Silence or The Sounds Of Silence. Life’s too short.

Great thread! Thanks for doing!

Rick asking Neil if he is going to photosynthesise if he bathes with the lights off is one of the greatest lines in comedy ever…

Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again

Clean tight start straight into the action.
They look so happy and clean cut and groovey on the cover don’t they? Yet behind the smiles they were lamenting the failure to communicate, their growing rivalry and the shortage of quality stools. A haunting beginning, I prefer the electric version. The Disturbed cover is hard work. There is a touch of Spinal Tap about S&G (folk to electric to stadium) but I always liked Paul Simon’s rare willingness to make fun of Bob Dylan. Paul can sure write a tune, while Art can hold one (some of Art’s solo albums are angelic).

Thanks for playing.

I only chose it because I thought it would resonate with Blitzers due to the 20+ years of misery we’ve suffered as Essendon Supporters.
