Best first track


Whenever I put Eric Clapton's Behind The Sun album on and the first track She's Waiting comes on my heart sings- other albums with a great first track suggestions?

Jeff Beck - live at Ronnie Scott’s - Bolero.   Actually entire show is awesome.   Jeff played with Tal Wilkenfeld, Jason Rebello, and Vinnie C.   Great show and you know you are on top when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are in the audience.  And Clapton sits in on a few songs.

I'm a life long fan of geetar "Classic Rock"

There are some great mentions here.

He's been mentioned before in other threads, I'll do it one more time just because this cut was one of many this 13 year old learned how to play "that sound" on his 1975 Japanese Les Paul copy thru a  cheap transistor amp.

 Side1/Track 1-Stranglehold. Say what you will about ol Ted, he HAD a place in 70's American  R&R history. The album keeps the energy from the lead in to lead out groove.
