Green Day “American Idiot”
It was a timely self portrait for a country that needed a look in the mirror. And also kicked off an album full of bangers.
What's the best opening track of an album?

It also opens Springsteen's Live 1975-1985 album...very different version...but just as great! LOVE that song!

The opening track to Sparkle and Fade by Everclear makes me start rocking out no matter what.
My fave album of all time. Enough technical chops to keep it interest But still very catchy.
Not to mention the Polaris outro they close the album with is f’ing sick.
Not my fave band but at the time I thought Korn’s Blind was a super unique and cool way to start an album.
Where the Streets Have No Name in The Joshua Tree. Perfect atmospherics for that album.
Best thrash metal album of all time. 80's Metallica is the best thrash metal overall in my opinion, but Rust in Peace tops anything they did.
"Taxman"
Revolver, Beatles, 1966
Great opening track, George starting the show the great songwriter and musician that he was. And the last of the '62-'66 Beatles. Not a huge Beatles fan from '67 and beyond, and what Paul McCartney turned into.

This one is not the best, or not even my favorite, but it needs to be posted. It took me a long time to give this album a listen because Rob Halford wasn't on it and I refused to give the new singer a chance. I'm glad I eventually did because this album slays!
