Center Song.

There is a song on each of my favorite albums around which the rest of the album's songs seem to rotate. Even if the rest of the album is really, really good there seems to be that one song that transcends. Here's a short list of albums and the corresponding songs around which they revolve:

Counting Crows - August and Everything After - Anna Begins
Arcade Fire - Funeral - Rebellion (Lies)
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary - I'll Belive in Anything
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning - Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)
Damien Rice - O - Cannonball

What do you think are some albums that revolve around one especially great song?


NOTE: this is an old post that I wrote but never posted so that in a drought (or on vacation) I could post it quickly and easily. If you are reading this then I am away and sneaking to a computer only to post this. In other words, expect more drivel until I return from where ever I may be.
