Who dosen't like their ass kicked right away when they put on a record? I love when bands get right to the point on the opening track. Post yer favorite album openers here. Some of mine (minus the OBVIOUS "march of the SOD"):
Cro-Mags - We Gotta Know. That intro is fucking furious. Slow, but it bludgens you, then you hear the drum stick click, and BAM, John comes in with the vocal and off we go. What a perfect song.
M.O.D. - Balls on Bread. Scott's on fire with that riff, the double bass during the verses adds extra power, and of course Billy's bulldozer of a voice lets you know damn sure he means everything he's saying. This song knocked my out when I first heard it. M.O.D. had been away for a while and it brought a smile to my miserable face to hear them destroy with a track like this.
Overkill - Necroshine. Again with the awesome intro, this one lets you know this songs gonna be cool. Blitz always amazes me with his voice. While his high pitched screams arn't as frequent these days, he's still one of the top voices in music, and if you ask me, THE best metal frontman.
Corrorsion of Conformity - Stonebreaker. Exellent build up that leads up to Peppers perfect chugging riff. (got a bit lazy here with my reasoning, but seriously, this song is great)
No list of this sort wouldnt be complete without Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, the song that started this genre we all know and love. Nothing was this errie, this dark, this HEAVY. Everything about this track is perfect. The rain sounds/thunder, church bells, the RIFF, Ozzy's haunting vocal, ect bla bla you get it
