The most powerful first track of an album you have ever heard

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire for me.

 

You can't go wrong with "Like a Rolling Stone"

 

Foxy Lady

 

1. John Lennon - Mother

2. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born 0n the Bayou

3. Led Zeppelin - Archilles Last Stand

 

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin II

For me in around '71, it was musically life changing.

 

Battery from Metallica's Master of Puppets.

 

The Who - Armenia City In The Sky

 

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine

 

Custard Pie - Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffitti

 

That was the first one I thought of but I actually think Fight Fire With Fire from Ride the Lightning beats it. Pretty good couple of album openers.

 

Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same for me.

 

The Red and the Black by BOC. An explosion of sound and one of the fastest, most bruising boogies I had ever heard in my young life. I was just floored, rock and roll had saved my soul.

 

"The Immigrant Song"

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

 

Nice one!

 

Welcome to the Jungle - GnR.

 

"The Changeling"-The Doors... L.A. Woman

 

This one would be near the top for me. Powerful tune, great album.

 

The Immigrant Song!

 

Holidays in the sun- The pistols

 

Janie Jones

 

"Angel of Death" by Slayer

 

Janes Addiction-Stop!

 

How about four consecutive albums?

Sympathy For The Devil
Gimme Shelter
Brown Sugar
Rocks Off

 

An attention grabber of a line to be sure. Still, I've always been bemused whenever I've seen pictures of her wearing a cross. Is she being ironic? Or is she actually a believer?

 

"Dancing The Night Away", The Motors, 1
