If you had to choose 3 tracks in order from an album, what would they be? i.e. you could choose tracks 1,2,3, tracks 5,6,7 etc.

It must be a 'proper' album i.e. single artist, no greatest hits or other compilation albums allowed.

Here's a couple of examples to start you off:

U2, The Joshua Tree:
#1 Where the Streets Have No Name
#2 Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
#3 With or Without You

Michael Jackson, Thriller:
#4 Thriller
#5 Beat It
#6 Billie Jean

For those that think there is a perfect album and you would choose any 3 tracks from it, tough :P You must name 3 specific tracks.
 
Killers Hot Fuss. I love the first 5.

1-3 or 3-5.

1.Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
2.Mr Brightside
3.Smile Like You Mean It
4.Somebody Told Me
5.All These Things That I've Done
 
Rise Against - Revolutions Per Minute.

1. - Black Masks and Gasoline.
2. - Heaven Knows.
3. - Dead Ringer.
 
You could make this more interesting by not allowing songs that were released as singles - literally three album-only tracks in a row. In which case my most recent would be:

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

1. Bag It Up
2. The Turning
3. Waiting For The Rapture

Otherwise:

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

2. Narcolepsy
3. Semi-Charmed Life
4. Jumper

Although I'd be happy with any three consecutive tracks off that album.

Got to go some to beat that as a straight 5.

Although I can go Origin of Symmetry

# "New Born" – 6:03
# "Bliss" – 4:12
# "Space Dementia" – 6:20
# "Hyper Music" – 3:21
# "Plug In Baby" – 3:39
# "Citizen Erased" – 7:19

Bang on, although I'm going to top trump it with 7 :p

# "I Wanna Be Adored" – 4:52
# "She Bangs the Drums" – 3:42
# "Waterfall" – 4:37
# "Don't Stop" – 5:17
# "Bye Bye Badman" – 4:00
# "Elizabeth My Dear" – 0:59
# "(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister" – 3:25

I can trump that with a straight album of win in my personal opinion of course, but I dare not post it for the absolute ribbing I will get.
 
Lifehouse, No Name Face
10 - Quasimodo
11 - Somewhere in between
12 - Everything

Edit: And

+Live+ - Throwing Copper
4 - Iris
5 - Lightning Crashes
6 - Top
