6. Maladjusted
7. Reel Around The Fountain

2. Southpaw
3. Meat Is Murder
4. Speedway
5. Suffer Little Chidren
6. Tomorrow
7. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
8. There's a Place in Hell For Me And My Friends

You could probably swap places 9-12 in any way you want.

I only now notice that there are more great openers than great closers. On the first list, 1-8 are all not just great tracks, but also great ways to start the album, 9 is rather good, too, if too long; while on the second list, I only consider 1-5 great album closers (and 6 is pretty good).

Because I have too much time on my hands and these opinion questions are addictive, I'll go overboard and rank second and second-to-last tracks. In my opinion the #2 and penultimate songs are just as important to the tracklisting as the openers and closers.

1: I Started Something I Couldn't Finish
2: Spring-Heeled Jim
3: Little Man, What Now?
4: Irish Blood, English Heart
5: Reader Meet Author
6: Alma Matters
7: Glamorous Glue
8: Rusholme Ruffians
9: Asian Rut
10: You've Got Everything Now
11: Frankly Mr. Shankly
12: Dear God, Please Help Me

1: There is a Light that Never Goes Out
2: I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
3: I Like You
4: I Just Want to See the Boy Happy
5: Dial-a-Cliché
6: Best Friend on the Payroll
7: (I'm) The End of the Family Line
8: Death at One's Elbow
9: Sorrow Will Come in the End
10: Barbarism Begins at Home
11: I Don't Owe You Anything
12: The Lazy Sunbathers
