Cool topic. There are so many, but the opening blast of "License to Confuse" on Sebadoh's Bakesale immediately springs to mind. Cue it up, turn it up to the point of being too loud, and hit play. It'll scare you at first, but then you'll find yourself happily trashing your room to it...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Screaming Skull again.

There are tons of openers I love. These are a few off the top of my head in no particular order.
The opening drum fill to Only Shallow gets me every time. David Bowie's Station to Station is fantastic. Summer Babe comes to mind. Disorder - Joy Division, Welcome to the Working Week - Elvis Costello, Schizophrenia - Sonic Youth, Sunday Morning - The Velvet Underground, Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus - The Mars Volta, Untitled - Interpol, Arcarsenal - At the Drive-In, The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths. |

Mazzy Star- Fade Into You (So That Tonight I Might See)
Groundation- What Could Have Been (Upon the Bridge) Sizzla- The World (Bobo Ashanti) Hole - Violet (Live Through This) and the thread winner iz..... Deftones- Feitercita (White Pony) Feitercita as an opening track is intense. The riff is abrasive and obnoxious, the attack is bewildering, the drums hypnotic, the vocals dreamy then scathing then dreamy (sort of like all Chino's songs). I mean, is there really a better way to open an experimental metal album?

About Canadian releases, there were different tracklists also in the seventies & eighties releases. I used to have canadian version of Jethro Tull Benefit, where was Teacher instead of Alive & Well and Living In. And I still have canadian version of first Iron Maiden-album where is Sanctuary as a some kind of "bonus" (itīs not in the end of the album, itīs on middle of b-side). I prefer original versions with original tracklists, but this album I have kept. Many collectors at least here Finland donīt respect canadian versions at all, but to me itīs totally same from which country the album is made as long as the covers & tracklists are original. Of course original version of the album is always the original, but theyīre also quite expensive (just bought original UK Hendrix Smash Hits & it WAS expensive). |

http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-...elease/4860762 This is from 2010, but I think first versions of this came in the nineties all over the world. It was that Hendrix "Sister" who released it and there are all songs from both US & UK Are Experienced-versions and also the early singles b-sides. All the earlier Canadian versions are same as the US-versions (at least what I found from discogs). |

I think Fugazi and Dinosaur Jr. are the kings of starting tracks. Every first song on every release is so awesome. My favorite Fugazi ones are 'Turnover' from the album 'Repeater' and 'Exit only' from 'Steady diet of nothing'.
Favorite Dinosaur Jr. ones: 'little fury things' from 'You're living all over me' and 'Out there' from 'Where you been'. |

Television's See No Evil, though not as memorable as Venus or the title track, was an excellent opener.
I'm not huge into the post-hardcore genre anymore, but Here Come the Rome Plows introduces the aggressiveness of Drive Like Jehu's Yank Crime very well, but Luau remains the shining track of the entire record. Ether by Gang of Four definitely deserves a mention as a exceptional start to an exceptional album. |
