They say that after listening to the first 3 songs on an album you already know what's coming next… So we decided to make another one of those lists that absolutely has no right answer.
After all, who said that the trio of songs from "Ride The Lightning" that we chose is better than the trio formed by " Battery , Master Of Puppets & The Thing That Should Not Be " or " Hit The Lights , The Four Horsemen & Motorbreath "?
Or perhaps, instead of choosing the trio of songs from "Countdown To Extinction," Megadeth should have opted for " Holy Wars , Hangar 18, and "Take No Prisoners "?
Finally… Thankfully, there's no shortage of great opening trios of songs on legendary albums! So check out our list of the best album opening trios and leave your own list in the comments!
