Drive My Car on Rubber Soul. I feel that was too good an opener in a way cause it made most of the album seem lightweight when it really isn't.

Not the best song on the album, but for a track that immediately pulls you in and lets you know what you're in for, try beating "Down On the Street," from Fun House by the Stooges. Just try.

Wow looks like you got to meet the one and only James Otto, that's pretty badass meeting your favorite singer. Wish I could meet James Mercer. Though I'd just come off as a fumbling, dorky, obsessed fool (which I am) so maybe it's for the best.

The very first song from all three albums that my most favorite singer James Otto has released is a great start to all three of them, "Long Way Down" from his Days Of Our Lives album, "Ain't Gonna Stop" from his Sunset Man album, and "Are Ya With Me?" from his Shake What God Gave Ya! album. 😄 😄 😄

😁 🙏 �'� ❓

Your Love Is My Drug by Kesha, such a complex and well constructed song.

🤣 I guess I can understand where you're coming from there, but yeah can't say I agree with this statement quite as much as the last one.

Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place

Definitely one of the best ever.

Also, Teeth Like God's Shoeshine off Lonesome Crowded West springs to mind.

Both probably in my top 10 all time songs.

I'm not looking for the best song on the album. Personally, I'm looking for best opening tracks.

I did not start this thread, but that is my interpretation of it.

Iron Maiden, with the majority of their opening tracks, picked songs that reached out and grabbed your attention.

It's like you walk into the room and Eddie catches you off guard with a quick and powerful 5 across the eyes.

Other great and powerful "opening" tracks from Maiden

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - Moonchild
Fear Of The Dark - Be Quick Or Be Dead
No Prayer For The Dying - Tailgunner
Iron Maiden - Prowler
Piece Of Mind - Where Eagles Dare
