Music Cup Round 8 - Album Openers

First topic message reminder :

Three rounds to go and it's a bit of a breakaway at the top with Hero and Adam fighting it out. The rest of us are playing for pride. Galted has missed that boat and he's playing more to avoid the ignominy of finishing below Union.

This round features songs that opened their respective bands albums, and it's your duty to pick your favourite TWO from the hodge-podge of classics and not-so-classics.

The next round, round 9, for the numerically challenged, will be songs featured on a film soundtrack. However, that's a pretty wide category, so I'm narrowing it down to films from the 80s because we will be guaranteed to get some hideous selections out of that. The songs have to be verifiably on the soundtrack too - not just a song that featured for a little bit in a rubbish scene with Molly Ringwald.

I also offer an apology to Mysti who's choices were both taken and he's now gone on holiday so he can't select another one.

Happy with 1 vote. Cheers ChequeredJersey. I guess a lot of peple don't know the band or the song (not because it just got 1 vote, but because I don't think they're a very well known band) so I'll put it here before we move on.

Spoiler:

Round 9 is up

On the other hand, after Oasis outscored The Beatles in the first round I sort of gave up anyway.
I have high hopes that my film song in the next round will get at least 1 vote.

This is one of the best days of my life, it's even better than the day I found a dead cat near the Costcutter bins.

I know i'm not officially last but am i bottom of the people who've been in every round?

Also voted for the House of Love Christine. Fine song from a vastly under rated band and is nice to see there is a fellow fan around here.

How sickening is it that it's a quarter of a century since its release?
