Best Album Opening Songs

The Top Ten
1 Back In The U.S.S.R. - The Beatles

It opens with a lot of a plane in the sky and then the energy kicks in with Paul doing his absolute best with vocals and then George doing a blazing guitar solo with background vocals adding more to the song then it needed to have and then but makes it even better and then the plane goes off while a few instruments come in while the plane goes and transitions into Dear Prudence! Deer Prudence is a slow song but has amazing and soothing vocals by John and background vocals by the other members! It stays the same for most of the song but later slows up at the near end and gets more of a psychedelic sound with the background vocals then singing with John and different instrument sounds and then goes back to the guitar and ends! Genius and I love how the album opens so much!

2 Black Dog - Led Zeppelin

Second best Led Zeppelin song only to When The Levee Breaks. And a great way to start out the greatest classic rock album of all time.

3 Baba O'Riley - The Who
4 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
5 Come Together - The Beatles

This is legendary

6 Changes - David Bowie
7 Help! - The Beatles

Pink Floyd is my favorite of all time, and I can't stand Zep, but I really like this song.
