So what do you feel are the best opening songs to a Smiths/Morrissey album? (not comps or live)

For Smiths

1. A rush
2. Queen is
3. Reel
4. Headmaster

For M

1. Now my heart
2. Maladjusted
3. You’re gonna need
4. Alsatian
5. Jim Jim
6. I will see you in far
7. My Love, I’d do
8. America is not

edit: though A rush/the Queen is a tie for the 1 position. And Reel/Headmaster a tie for 2. I can’t really decide, The Queen takes #1 on most days, so maybe ….
The Queen is Dead
The Headmaster Ritual
A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours
Reel Around the Fountain

Jim Jim Falls
Maladjusted
Now My Heart is Full
I Will See You in Far Off Places
Something is Squeezing My Skull
You’re Gonna Need Someone on Your Side
I Am Veronica
Alsatian Cousin
The Teachers are Afraid of the Pupils
Morning Starship
Our Frank
My Love I’d Do Anything For You
America is Not the World

How do you know Veronica is a good opener? Unless you’ve already heard the album.
 
Stop saying you know how good or bad "I am Veronica " opener is, no you don't . It is forbidden to know it or even suppose ! :policeofficer:
 
Almost impossible to chose an order for The Smiths' albums, all I know is that Reel around the Fountain would be the last one.

Morning Starship
Our Frank
I Will See You in Far Off Places
You’re Gonna Need Someone on Your Side
The Teachers are Afraid of the Pupils

America is Not the World
