I deeply apologize for my omitting of Van der Graaf Generator. Trust me please, this wasn´t plan but mistake only. It´s a pity that I cannot correct it!

OK, but you have to admit that´s somewhat unfair now.

Crazily enough, I voted for Aristillus.  A little snip of an instrumental, but it always makes my physically shiver with appreciation.

Musical Box IMO is one of the best pieces ever, opener or not, but there were sure a lot of good candidates in this list.

Don't worry about it! I really woulda voted for Undercover Man as it's one of my favorite pieces ever written, but on second thought, I think Larks as an opener is more fitting, I don't know why, maybe it sets the tone better, or maybe it's that weird eeriness that you just can't put your finger on.

Just so we're clear, do you mean "Which of these is the best song" or "Which of these makes the best opener"? Because those are sort of different. 
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

I mean "Which opener from the list is your favourite". Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you for clearing this up. Smile This was my question, too! So CTTE for me. (And Red is the better opener.)
