What is your favourite 'bookend' pair of songs? Best pair of songs to open / close an album?

its a tough choice for me!? Maybe either the No Code 'pair' with 'Vs', 'Yield' and 'Backspacer' close second.

Ten: Once / Release
Vs: Go / Indifference
Vitalogy: Last Exit / FoxyMop
No Code: Sometimes / Around the Bend
Yield: Brain of J / All those Yesterdays
Binaural: Breakerfall / Parting Ways
Riot Act: Cant Keep / All or None
Avacado: Life wasted / Inside Job
Backspacer: Gonna See my Friend / The End

    It'd be a tie for me with No Code and Avacado. I might give Avacado the edge, though, because of "Inside Job". What a song!!

    Riot Act. For sure. Yield second, but Riot Act is a pretty clear winner for me. Cant Keep and All or None are potentially both top 10 PJ songs for me, definitely at least top 20

    " TEN "

    Yield and Ten all the way, I think Vitalogy should get reconsidered though, Foxymop shouldnt be considered the ending song, Immortality should.
