Keep the thread on topic please
It was, if you knew the back story to the Kate Bush album / Saturday’s in Dibden Purlieu (in a completely respectful way).
Did I already post this?

The first time I heard Aphex Twin and honestly everything was different after that.
Not their best track, no longer a cool band, but as an opening track to set up an album, ‘Movin’ on up’ by the Scream takes some beating. (Screamadelica obvs).

My view on a good first track is that it has to be prep for everything else that follows. It needs to be a firm statement of intent, essentially saying “welcome to our world, bitches. This is just the front door”.
Terms defined, I can think of few better openers than the following.
- Welcome to the Jungle, Appetite for Destruction
- Bombtrack, Rage Against The Machine
- Neighborhood (Tunnels) Funeral
- Formed a Band Art Brut
Opening songs on the Doors’ first two LPs are definitely worth a shout:
