I think my favourite first song of a debut album are "Sheepdog" by Mando Diao - such an amazing guitar riff to begin with! It's so simple but yet it just takes you away xD

Yellow is adorable, but it's not the opening track of Parachutes. That album opens with "Don't Panic". (;

Lost Cat - Catatonia from Way Beyond Blue

All that Glitters - Death in Vegas from Dead Elvis

Rhymin' and Stealin' - Beastie Boys from Licensed to Ill

Wake Up and Make Love with Me - Ian Dury from New Boots and Panties

Another one is 'Get Miles' off of Gomez's first album Bring It On. If you haven't heard this album, then buy it, borrow it or steal it because it's magnificent.

I second that statement, GET THAT ALBUM, it's worth it alone for Whippin' Picadilly, or 78 Stone Wobble even though the full album is amazing.

Moray,

I know you are drunk. So I won't give you too much crap. But you're suppose to name your favorite 1st track, as in, tracklisting is ONE, from a debut album.
