man,

there are hundreds of incredible opening songs that set the tone for the given album. you should get to know the song i mentioned.

the doors-the doors-break on through
pink floyd-wish you were here-shine on you crazy diamond
bob dylan-blood on the tracks-tangled up in blue
jimi hendrix-are you experienced?-purple haze
the beatles-rubber soul-drive my car
the beatles-abbey road-come together
U2-the joshua tree-where the streets have no name
nirvana-smells like teen spirit
rage against the machine-rage against the machine-bombtrack
sublime-sublime-garden grove
alice in chains-dirt-them bones
stone temple pilots-core-dead and bloated
deftones-adrenaline-bored
deftones-around the fur-my own summer (shove it)


this is just off the top of my head, should i get into newer music? should i get into country? its borderline retarded for you to say that there aren't a lot of good songs that set the tone for an album b/c there are a ton.

Weezer- Pinkerton- Tired of Sex. Awesome riffs, really sets up the whole album

Dude, Thats effing crazy!!!! I just put that cd in today for the first time in like 8 years. Thats so wierd that you mentioned it. The song after Israel's Son rocks too, but that's not what this thread is about. Good choice.

lol.. chill out dude. I'm just trying to give some direction to the thread. there's a bunch of people who would just throw any random first song. not saying you're one of them, or that you're not one of them.

Stars-Your Ex-lover Is Dead from Set Yourself on Fire. Also Cochise from Audioslave's debut is a pretty kick-ass opener.

The Cars first album - Let the Good Times Roll
