Phil's best album opener, in my mind, is I Don't Care Anymore. It sets the mood for the whole album; in fact I often wonder whether Hello I Must Be Going isn't a kind of concept album ("To Shacking Up From Separation", if you permit the groaner). I Don't Care Anymore has the big wall of of sound, it has the small instrumentation, it has the raw emotions, all of which reappear at various points of the album.
The same can, perhaps, be said about In The Air Tonight. I don't know. Due to its immense success ITAT dwarves all the other songs on Face Value; it unbalances the whole album. I can't, of course, but I would like to know what I'd have thought about In The Air Tonight as the album opener if it had not been that gigantic hit.
Well, you see I don't think ITAT dwarves the other FV songs, magnificent though it is. The whole album is full of songs which almost match its quality (The Roof Is Leaking & You Know What I Mean in particular). ITAT sets the tone, just as IDCA does as you mention.

Good luck to England & Sweden, hubby's teams (he was born in England & his great-grandfather was Swedish).
Some of the handwringing about Australia's exit has been embarrassing to say the least. As for Germany, who were my other team due to ancestry, they weren't good enough this time.
