Best opening 3 tracks of an album

[mjsell]

I'm a big fan of the start of The Suburbs by Arcade Fire.

Pobably their best first 3 I'd say.

I tell people my first ever gig was The Cribs but it was really this lot.

Mine was Status Quo (dragged along with parents).  I'd rather say it was the Wiggles to be honest...

[discopete]

now THATS a hard one - but I would go for

Explosions in the sky - the earth is not a cold dead place

1) first breath after a coma

2) the only moment we were alone

3) six days at the bottom of the ocean

That wasn't in the first three tracks.

[hpants]

Bloc Party // Silent Alarm 

1. Like eating glass      2. Helicopter    3. Positive Tension 

Just shades it ahead of FWN and Antidotes for me solely because of the drum fills on like eating glass

[FloorFiller]

The actual correct answer to this is

Mojo Pin
Grace
Last Goodbye
