Seems to know his stuff, I only skipped it but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that while I'm not really a Wilco fan Misunderstood leading off Being There is one of the most stunning album openers of all time.
A few years ago I tackled this one, using my personal favorite bands. Here they are. You are welcome.
THE RAMONES
Do You Remember Rock 'n Roll Radio?
THE REPLACEMENTS
I.O.U.
(NOTE: actually surprised I didn't put Hold My Life here. Hmm.)
THE BEATLES
I Saw Her Standing There
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
The Ties That Bind
THE CLASH
Safe European Home
MARAH
Faraway You. This is an all-time opener, almost impossible to beat.
R.E.M.
Radio Free Europe
HUSKER DU
Flip Your Wig (close: Those Important Years)
SOUL ASYLUM
Freaks
UPDATE: whoops, I only now realized that the writer settled on only choosing from debut albums, thus rendering my little list silly. Fuck it.
