What are your favourite introductions to a band .. ?

I would say my two are Belfast by Orbital and Like Eating Glass by Bloc Party, although The Stone Roses must have an honourable mention with I Wanna Be Adored

    Ring Ring - ABBA

    Down To The Waterline - Dire Straits

    To Cut A Long Story Short - Spandau Ballet

    Don't Go - Yazoo

    Perfect Skin - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

    Black Planet - The Sisters Of Mercy

    I Don't Want A Lover - Texas

    Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine - The Killers


    TCALSS *remained* Spandau's best-ever song too…

    But I'd agree with chilli that Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath is the greatest ever first track on a band's first album. It didn't just launch a band, it launched an entire genre.

    Good Choice! @not_the_dj

    *edit* - Are we talking openers, or the best track off of the first album? Either way, I stand by my choice! :D
