[shadesofblue 6,057]

1. ride

2. cruel world

3. norman fucking rockwell

4. born to die

5. honeymoon

6. the grants

7. white dress

8. kill kill

9. for k

11. textbook

[Sportscruiser 10,653]

1. NFR

2. Honeymoon

3. The Grants

4. Ride

5. Born To Die

6. Cruel World

7. White Dress

8. Kill Kill (love this one but I love the others more)

9. Text Book

10. Love

[The Sun Also Rises 2,646]

Literally impossible for me, so: 

1. Honeymoon, Ride (if we include the monologue, this is no 1 for me), The Grants, Cruel World, NFR (best opening lines), Born to Die
2. White Dress, Love, Kill Kill, Text Book 

If I reallyyyyy had to rate them it would probably be in the written order, but realistically it changes too often for me to do a top 10

yeah these are all kinda classics... honeymoon kinda the best album opener ever those opening low cello notes with the violins *nut* 

 

edit: I didnt realize all 4 of us on this page put white dress, kill kill, textbook, and love as bottom 4  so called free thinkers

1st ranking: Song quality (How I would rank the songs regardless of them being openers and more based on personal preference)

1. Love
2. Cruel World
3. Ride
4. Born to Die
5. Norman Fucking Rockwell
6. Text Book
7. White Dress
8. Honeymoon
9. The Grants

2nd ranking: Opening (Does the song set the mood for the rest of the album? Was it the best option from the album overall?)

1. Ride
2. Honeymoon
3. Cruel World
4. Born to Die
5. Norman Fucking Rockwell
6. White Dress
7. Text Book
8. Love
9. The Grants

I think the only one here that really shouldn’t have been the opening track is Love, especially when 13 Beaches was RIGHT THERE.
