    Corduroy for sure! Pendulum would be one that I would say is not an obvious choice.

    Oh, so many to choose from...

    On the studio albums, it's gotta be between some of the opening tracks themselves:
    Go, Last Exit, and Brain of J, specifically.

    Live?
    Interstellar Overdrive into Corduroy ?
    Present Tense?
    Release?
    All three are very worthy but I have to go with those intro notes to IMMORTALITY!

    Last Exit and Go are have phenomenal openings. Had to listen to Bushleaguer again. The lyrics coming in so early kill it a bit for me but still cool nonetheless.

    There is no way to pick just one, so here are my five (maybe in order LOL)
    SOLAT
    Of the Girl
    Corduroy
    Porch
    Given to Fly

    It totally depends on mood, setting and situation.  Kind of illogical not to include Release, Pendulum, Long Road, Oceans and so many others that they've used as live openers. I always thought Unthought Known would be a cool show opener. Fn love that song!

    Great pick and totally agree...I was lucky enough to be at the DC show in 2008 when they opened with HTI and it was killer!

    It’s my favourite opening and my favourite show opener. Was lucky enough to see it open two shows (Calgary and Krakow). One of my favourite PJ songs period. Binaural is such an underrated album.  SOLAT would be high on my list as well.

    I would lose my mind if they opened a show with SOLAT...that would be awesome.  They've done Corduroy and I was at that one...well it technically was Interstellar Overdrive, which is just the intro they do sometimes to it.  That show was awesome, but that's another story for another time LOL

    Hard to disagree with that one.  I still get pumped and want to jump up and down during that one.  The lyrics are ridiculously brilliant, and the ebbs and flows are so wonderful.  Truly love it every time even all of these years later.  It's a bold statement to say any rock song is the greatest ever [clearing my throat] Stairway to Heaven, hello?!?!?
