I was listening to Good Feeling on my iPod today (not something I do a lot of these days, listening to full albums. Usually just whack it on shuffle or a playlist) and it struck me that All I Wanna Do Is Rock has to be one of the best starts to a debut album ever. It's a fantastic opening tune and introduction to a band's career and the only other one I can think of with the same kind of impact is Rock N' Roll Star, off Definitely Maybe.
Any other suggestions? |

| ya, i was going to go with something off Definatly Maybe or Good Feeling, so im not adding anything original. I will try to think deeper into my musical memory. |

+ "blue suede shoes" by elvis presley from his self-titled debut.
+ "astronomy domine" by pink floyd [piper at the gates of dawn].
+ "sunday morning" by the velvet underground [the velvet underground and nico].
+ "good times bad times" by led zeppelin from their self-titled album.
and surely
+ "i wanna be adored" by the stone roses from their self-titled debut.
these are my candidates, of course together with "all i wanna do is rock". it's a great introduction too. (; |

| I agree with "All I Want To Do Is Rock" and "Yellow"...I also think Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" is a great one. |

haha, Ok, you may want to remember this...
Yellow is a fucking amazing tune, the first time I heard it the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, it was that good. It rolls, it flows, it's just a damn good tune. I remember thinking who the fuck are these guys this is amazing stuff, it also took a while to "break through" to egular playlists and for a while it was great to hear it getting the airplay it deserved but like all decent stuff these days they couldn't leave it alone.

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