Listening to music on my walk into work this morning and I got to thinking "Which band or artist has announced themselves to the world with the best track?"
It's a thought that came to me because of what I was listening to at the time, which I reckon must be hard to beat:
Welcome to the Jungle, G'n'R
Rock 'N' Roll Star - Definitely Maybe
That was one of the other ones that came to mind, definitely
How about Black Sabbath opening with its title track ?
Hard to just select one!
But I'd say Rock 'n' Roll Star by Oasis.
Suspect Device - Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers
Twice as Hard by The Black Crowes
Welcome to the Jungle, G'n'R
Good one!
My favourite (NSFW):
Sunday Morning, Velvet Underground and Nico
Tutti Frutti, Little Richard
Dry the rain - Beta Band.
Bombtrack - Rage against the Machine
Feel Good Hit of the Summer - Rated R - Queens of the Stone Age
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
"You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" - sets the Album's stall out nice and early.
"Neat, Neat, Neat" from Damned, Damned, Damned
I think this is "the best", at the time it seemed a million miles always from the heavyweight slow rifola that was obliterating the vinyl outputs of that era.
Van Halen, Runnin' with the Devil.
**** wit dre day - The Chronic by Dr dre. Epic
Some great tracks up there.
Audioslave - Cochise
From an impact point of view - Davidian by Machine Head takes some beating....
Can't embed because the forum buttons keep disappearing.....
Roxy Music: Re-make/re-model.
How about Baba O'Reilly on Who's Next.
Can't think of many better ways to open an album.
I so misread the thread title. I am sorry. 😳
[s]Breaking into Heaven,
The Stone Roses, Second Coming[/s]
I'll Find You, by Hundred Reasons.
And good shout on Davidian, that intro. You can walk into a guitar shop 23 years later and play that riff and someone will always go MACINE HEAD! GRARAGRHGAHGARH!
Time Has Told Me - Nick Drake.
And for contrast, Motorhead - Motorhead.
Good game.
🙂
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
Not their debut album though. Related though, Star Sail from A Storm in Heaven is a heck of an opener.
I'd vote for I Wanna Be Adored. What a fantastic way to open an album
Frankie goes to Hollywood
Two tracks really but it's all one in effect:
The World is my Oyster/Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Do it again - Steely Dan.

Not a debut album.
Suede, So Young
Teenage Fanclub (Bandwagonesque), The Concept
Good call BinBins
There're loads.
But this one is just such a great and under-appreciated classic.
I so misread the thread title. I am sorry.[s]Breaking into Heaven,
The Stone Roses, Second Coming[/s]
I wanna be adored from their debut album was however, remarkable.
I put it on the second I saw this thread title!
Beat me to it MR.
Just flicking through the vinyl and that's going on next, when 'Can't Buy A Thrill' finishes.
🙂
Saw the title of the thread, instantly thought rock and roll star or welcome to the jungle
Who said stw members didnt have taste?
Whipping Boy Ben Harper

Verves good call think first three tracks were all epic on that album.
Dire Straits - Down To The Waterline
Janie Jones
Nevermind wasn't Nirvana's debut album...
On a similar theme though, I thought 'This is a call' was a cracking opener from Foo Fighters
Ring Ring by ABBA.

Not a debut album.
OK good point, I missed the debut album bit.
Switch to "Daft Punk are playin at my house" - LCD Soundsystem
Blitzkreig Bop, The Ramones.
Bat Out of Hell, Meatloaf
tis a cover but a cracking opening track on a debut album
