It's like the Area 51 mystery. But this myth was proved true after the release of the 1990 Megadeth album Rust In Peace which had a photo of an Alien on it's cover proving that Aliens do exist in Area 51. So really it's more of a...why is water wet mystery.

This is brilliant, how did i miss this?

Always love seeing these type of lists for such powerhouse bands where really they can go anywhere with how many killer songs they have.

I recently put together my favorite songs from Murray Street through Rather Ripped and made a "late greats" playlist that I feel would fit here:

Side 1
1. Do You Believe in Rapture?
2. The Empty Page
3. Peace Attack

Side 2
1. Reena
2. Stones
3. Rain on Tin

Side 3
1. Pink Steam
2. Dripping Dream
3. Turquoise Boy

Side 4
1. Incinerate
2. Disconnection Notice
3. Dude Ranch Nurse

im not gonna try to order them. this game is stupid. they don't really have "best songs" some are soundscapes some are lyrically driven (some with NOISE)

Six opening songs make my list: intro/Brave Men, Tom, Skitz, Becuz, Free City, Pattern.

But not Teenage. Pretty sick of that one.

More great openers: Burning Spear, (She´s in a) Bad Mood, Dirty Boots, 100%, Winner´s Blues, Contre Le Sexisme, Reena & Sacred Trickster. And yes, even Teenage Riot isn´t the greatest Sy-song, it really opens DDN in a great way, specially when there is that slow intro before the energy of the song explodes totally. And hell yes, even Empty Pages is good opener. So I think SY has always paid attention to which song they started albums.
