best album one-two punches???
exile on mainstreet (per kid ebay and tom)
highway 61 revisited
time bomb high school
your turn.
-
Exile for sure.
Funhouse also.
But Led Zeppelin III wins for 1-2-3-4-5 punch
-
Maybe 1-2-3-5, now that I think about it
-
time bomb high school+too much guitar make a serious 1-2 punch. i used to have the RS live @ goner LP, which was amazing as well.
-
Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Silence Kid into Elevate Me Later.
Don't hate on it.

our apt was broken into and they stole all our records so i no longer own this gem. the cherry on top: i believe its out of print.

i saw it at shangri-la, but that was about a year ago... what a drag.

i looked for it when i was in shangri-la with A.M. Thomas @ Gonerfest V, but to no avail. youre right, a serious drag.

A few personal favorites:
Love Forever Changes: "Alone Again Or" & "A House in Not a Motel"
The Gun Club Fire of Love: "Sex Beat" & "Preaching the Blues"
Dead Boys Young, Loud and Snotty: "Sonic Reducer" & "All This and More"
It's also really hard to deny the power "Holidays in the Sun" followed directly by "Bodies." They are the two best Sex Pistols song. Except for maybe "I'm Gonna Kill You, You Bitch."
-
Are live albums allowed? If so, speaking of Mr. Cartwright, The Oblivians Live in Atlanta album starts off with a bang and never really lets up. It's my favorite live album ever, I think (which ain't saying much, I guess, but is smokes). I love it when Greg yells out "They call this a solo!". FOT(?) Henry Owings recorded it, and if I'm not mistaken there was some sort of dustup between he and the oblivs when it came out.
-
Ghostface - Fishscale, (ignoring the skit at the beginning) the 1,2,3, punch of Shakey Dog, Kilo and The Champ
also one of my favorite 1,2, punches Hawkwind - Warriors on the Edge of Time, Assault and Battery and The Golden Void
-
Big Dipper- Craps (Meet the Witch, Ron Klaus Wrecked his House)
Fugazi- Repeater (Turnover, Repeater)
Olivia Tremor Control- Black Foliage: Animation Music (Opening, Peculiar Noise Called 'The Train Director')

Amazing choice! Also super funny.
-
How about the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 punch of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea?
-
NMH holds the one-two punch AOTS, but have you heard avery island? not as fulfilling, unfortunately. that album keeps me from putting mangum on a pedestal, which i dont do, but when you make a good album and then disappear...youve hooked me.
-
I have a crapload on unreleased NMH stuff (not that exciting), seeing as I'm a stereotypical indie rock sweater wearing nerd ;), that I could post somehow in the download section if anyone wants it.

GZA, Liquid Swords-Liquid Swords & Duel of the Iron Mic
-
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
No Action then This Year's Girl
My natural instinct in all discussions regarding Elvis Costello is to just blurt out "This Years Model", but in this case, I think "This Year's Girl" is a pretty weak 2nd punch. I personally like the 1-2 punch of "Blood and Chocolate" much better ("Uncomplicated" / "I Hope You're Happy Now")
-
Sloan! Never Hear the End of It--
"Flying High Again" right into "Who Taught You to Live Like That" it's perfect!
-
"On the Beach" by Neil young (Walk On and See the Sky About to Rain)
"Firewater" by Silkworm (Nerves and Drunk)
About a million others. Those two stick out for me now.
-
Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic
"Modern Kicks" into "I'm A Pretender"
I'm going to be singing this all day now.
Joy Division, Closer - 'Atrocity Exhibition' into 'Isolation'
Spiritualized, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space - title track into 'Come Together'
The Verve, A Northern Soul - 'A New Decade' into 'This Is Music'
Flaming Lips, In A Priest Driven Ambulance - 'Shine On Sweet Jesus' into 'Unconsciously Screamin''
Talking Heads, Remain In Light - 'Born Under Punches' into 'Crosseyed And Painless' (the next two aren't too shabby either).
-
Fantastic one-two punches on:
Unwound "The Future of What"
Flamin' Groovies "Jumpin' in the Night" (although I prefer the Roy Loney stuff)
and, of course
Rocket From the Crypt "Scream Dracula Scream"
-
Fantastic one-two punches on:
Unwound "The Future of What"
Same with "Look a Ghost" and "December" from Leaves Turn....
Shellac records are good for this, too. The first two on 1000 Hurts.
Same with the new one--the first two records are face-melters.

In agreeance! Unwound was pretty infallible.

Rocket From the Crypt "Scream Dracula Scream"
Yes.
they also pulled this off on Circa Now with Short Lip Fuser into Hippy Dippy Do

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour

I guess I was taking this too literally, using only the first and second songs from an album. But if we're just looking for sequential songs, how about Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation, Hot Rails to Hell then Seven Screaming Dizbusters, or Talking Heads, More Songs About Buildings and Food, Take Me to the River then The Big Country. Neil Young, After the Goldrush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart then Southern Man. Dylan, Blood on the Tracks, You're a Big Girl Now then Idiot Wind. and so on.....Kate Bush, Running Up That Hill then Hounds of Love.

I thought so too, right away (the two initial picks were one-two punches on records).
In that vein, too, it's hard to mess with "Brown Sugar" and "Sway".

1-2-3 Punch:
Neil Young "On the Beach"
On the Beach
Motion Pictures
Ambulance Blues

Neil Young "On the Beach"
On the Beach
Motion Pictures
Ambulance Blues
Or "Walk On", "See The Sky...." and "Rev. Blues."
That is, quite possibly, my favorite album of all time. Ever.
It's probably a 4 way tie between that, Time Fades Away, SKWM's Firewater, and a Come album.
ON THE BEACH.
So good.
