Favorite Two Consecutive Tracks - With A Twist Options

[Voodoo Lady]

Thought this might be a fun exercise.
Please vote for what you think are the two best consecutive tracks which open and close two back to back full albums. I decided to include Awake: Best of.. as it counts as a full album, and makes the poll more interesting. Would be great to see discussion backing your choices.

Gas Hed / The Dolphin's Cry for me.

Horse / Rattlesnake and 10,000 Years / TDAOC are both great combos too and do just as well at capturing the opening/closing atmospheres of their respective albums, but I think Gas Hed and TDC are slightly stronger individual tracks on top of that.

I almost went this way too. I settled on 10,000 Years and TDAOC, mostly on the rawness of the former, but also it's a really good sonic transition for them, with songs I can always listen to. I sorta have to be in "ok, fine" mood for TDC at this point, and that's always been the case with Horse, which were the only two other options in my book.

If it were an option, I might have gone with:

Ball and Chain/Pain Lies on the Riverside.

Good call!
