I'm going to fudge a little and put Van Halen's 1984 intro and opening song "Jump" as one, with "Panama"...

 

Side 1 of Cheap Trick's debut LP opens with "ELO Kiddies" and "Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School"

 

I totally agree. Absolutely awesome. Audiophile this album please, it would sell out overnight.

 

She Said/Happy Old World - Barclay James Harvest Once Again. Song For Dying and Galadriel complete a stunning side one.

Ok, that's 3/4 of the album...LOL...but it's my favourite album.

Another one:
