Donāt know about best, but for a first song on a first album back in 1969(i was a month old when released), this is a great intro to what was to follow.

Iād say this is more of a bait and switch for whatās to follow. A great 3 minute rock song, when most of their other stuff was 10 minute wanky solos and lyrics about elves and ogresā¦
Disagree, although they have done a few long songs, but not as many as you might think.
Letās try another albums first song.
Or moving on, no elves or orges, but start the album with some lovely pieš
Not her best song, that comes a bit later(in the same album), but this is a hell of an introduction to, in my opinion, a massively underrated voice and album.
Any album that includes this.
And then this.
Is a beautiful rarity.

Saw her at Beautiful Days a few years ago and she was excellent.
Never seen her live, ,which is a disappointment i canāt blame on anyone but myself. Glad to hear you enjoyed her. Such an amazing voice.
Holy crap.
Havenāt heard that in years. The soundtrack of the end of my student days in Brighton and not having a clue about the real world, destructive relationships and the ending of an era etc etc etc
The standout point on that album for me is this:
Itās a real shame sheās been so fragile in her life.
Edit: and itās a really good example of a really shit ā80ās videoā¦
First time that album was played to me, blew me away. What a voice. Thatās why any mention of her and instantly, Jackie springs to mind.

Jackie has all the structure of an old Irish folk song which she dragged kicking and screaming into the modern day (1980ās unfortunately)
Brilliant song.
Dunno
Headphones donāt do it justice
Another back in the day band
