Best opening tracks of debut albums?

A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum, First album, US version

 

To The Morning off Dan Fogelberg's Home Free.

 

One I don't think anyone mentioned before: Regular John from

 

I'd also add Blues from an Airplane from Jefferson Airplane's first album, Takes Off. Yes Surrealistic Pillow was a quantum leap, but there were several good tunes on the first album, from It's No Secret, Come Together and others, but one of them was the opener.

 

The one that immediately springs to mind is the trifecta off the first album by The Cars:

Good Times Roll>My Best Friend's Girl>Just What I Needed

which I believe are all 3:44 in length.

 

Others I don't know have been mentioned:

Dave Clark Five - Glad All Over, from Glad All Over (US)
Plastic Ono Band - Mother (eponymous album)
The Electric Flag - Killin' Floor from A Long Time Comin' (The Trip was not really a first album since it was a film score)

And I don't think anyone mentioned Pride of Man from
