Comment:

The first track of any album can introduce everything. It sets the tone of things to come and inherently should be strong enough to support everthing that follows it. I was listening to The Shins album 'Oh, Inverted World' when I had the idea to throw all of my favourite first tracks into a playlist. I like the flow on this mix and it showcases some of my favourite band's stronger material.

Those are some great picks! I definitely agree with your selection of "I am trying to break your heart," it's one of my all-time favorite Wilco songs.

An idea I'm sure many of us have had but never got around to acting on. It should incite others (at least me) to try the same thing and hope that our results are as compellingly unified as this mix you made. Inspired jumble of indie's top acts - very good job
