Day 9
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Opener: "Where The Streets Have No Name"
Closer: "Mothers of the Disappeared"
U2 were often great at crafting dynamic bookends for their albums. I still remember hearing this album for the first time. Just beautiful.

Day 8
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps
Opener: "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)"
Closer: "Hey Hey, My, My (Into the Black)"
On an album split between acoustic and electric, Young brilliantly opens and closes with great variations of the same song.

The Replacements - Let It Be
Opener: "I Will Dare"
Closer: "Answering Machine"
Let's bring the mats into this dialogue with their 1984 release. From the jangly shuffle of the opener to the angsty isolation of electric guitar and vocal in the closer.

Maybe the best of Stevie's classic period? Certainly the best bookends.

Unranked, day 3
Pretenders (self titled debut)
Opener: "Precious"
Closer: "Mystery Achievement"
The album starts by making clear the band's punk cred, and ends with a wonderfully crafted pop-rock song that might be my favorite by the group. And everything great in-between.
