Favorite first tracks!

[LG]

^^Before Groovy posts them all, here is a Fabulous first track.

Gustav Holst, The Planets, "Mars Bringer of War".

 

[Death on Credit]

That was the first song that came to mind.

Yeah, Like A Rolling Stone is probably, in my not so humble opinion, the single greatest opening track in the history of rock 'n roll.

A few more I forgot about:
Ramblin' Rose - MC5 (Kick Out the Jams)
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison (Astral Weeks)
Tell Me Why - Neil Young (After the Gold Rush)
Watch That Man - David Bowie (Aladdin Sane)
Frownland - Captain Beefheart (Trout Mask Replica)
Born to Lose - Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers (LAMF)

LG - I love the Planets Suite! My 89 year old mum has always been a massive classical music (and opera) fan and I grew up listening to her favourites.

^^Same here Snowblue, my Mom was my inspiration when it came to music, she played all kinds of different stuff when we were growing up and got me started collecting when she joined Columbia House record club in the early 70's.

Played that Moodies album last night in fact, the DTS multi-channel version and it sounded great.
