What if (track) 6 was (track) 9?

Good evening Beatle :)

This actually happened with one of mine...

Basically, I had the original Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" album, but then it got remastered & expanded, and they decided to add 'Silver Springs' in. The official reissue placed it as track 7, between 'Songbird' and 'The Chain'. But for me, it was totally wrong there.

So I burned my own copy, and placed it as track 6, between 'Go Your Own Way' and 'Songbird'. This seemed much more fitting, partially as it was originally the b-side to the 'Go Your Own Way' single, and also because of the lyric "... I'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you. You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loved you". To follow that up with 'Songbird' takes away the anger and pain and prepares us for 'side two' {as would have been}.

BQ: Please see above answer ;)

OMG~ What a great question! Back in the days before CDs and their easy 'one touch' forwarding to the next song.... there were a few albums that I just couldn't stand a song that was right in the middle!

But to bring it into the 21st Century....

Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Californication

Why oh why is that clanging song, "Get on top" right after the most beautiful, heartfelt, sad songs, "Scar tissue" and "Otherside"????? Why!?! lol At the beginning or the end would have worked much better for me.

Ditto RHCP's "By the Way" album. Cabron ~ *What* a stupid song. Boring, too. Please put it at the end, guys.... Thanks!

BQ: You know... after you've heard an album a bazillion times, you *anticipate* the next song... even if you're reaching for the "forward" button. So... for better or for worse, I'd probably just leave them the same.

Who's Next (1971)

Switch the opening track Baba O'Riley with the final track Wont Get Fooled Again. I think Baba O'Riley is the perfect closer to any album, and it would come directly after Behind Blue Eyes which is a good flow. Both tracks are very emotional.

Won't Get Fooled Again is better as a powerful opening track in my mind.

BQ: I don't think it would matter much...unless it was a concept album, then I wouldn't dig it.

I'm trying to think of an album that doesn't have a great track listing. The only one I can think of isn't really an album, it's something my father bought at a bar. It started off with Barret's Privateers, which just doesn't have that starting oomph for me. It should have been switched with Rocky Road to Dublin, which is a great song to start any album off.

Jimi Hendrix If 6 Was 9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8BBipmqKxg sorry just had to throw that in there.

No

BQ: no it would not matter. I have most of my Stones music on the computer, and I just let it play and old way it want's to. As long as I hear that beat i'm satisfied.

take care

Abbey Road:

"Her Majesty" doesn't belong on the album.
