What are the top five best ever opening tracks on debut LPs (collections don't count - no eps, no singles) by a rock and roll band?

Mine:
1. Remake/Remodel - Roxy Music
2. Radio Free Europe - REM
3. Running with the Devil - Van Halen
4. Break on Through - Doors
5. Neat Neat Neat - Damned

sorry as long as the no-lex november law is still blatantly being broken with no consequences, i can't get too worked up about this.

I'm a schmuck. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my list question. I guess I'll wait until December, unless someone can link me to the other time this has been brought up.

"Astronomy Domine"
"Ruckzuck"
"Father Cannot Yell"
"Hallogallo"
"The Band Gets Swivey On The Wheels"

The Germans, Syd, and Son Of Bazerk have this category wrapped up.

I instinctively reach for "Christine" and "Just Like Honey" when confronted with this question...

Well, just let me put in my two cents and stress that "Oblivious" by Aztec Camera belongs in here a lot.

If it looks like a list and smells like a list it must be a list, hosers.

note that we're not technically listing anything...only musing about how we might respond such a query...if it were presented...which it was not...because it's No-List November...
