Song With Best Beginning

Shine on your Crazy Diamond
Time
Locomotive Breath
Pigs

Malcolm McLaren's "Tracing Back My Steps In Time" from album "Paris".

For me it's Van Halen "Dirty Movies" off of Fair Warning.

It is, of course, impossible to name a "best" in any definitive way. But a song with an excellent beginning that I've enjoyed hearing recently is The Seekers' "Love Is Kind, Love Is Wine" .

That its solo segments feature Judith Durham's angelic and incredibly pure voice adds to its appeal that much more.

Rod Stewart "I'm losin' you" has a great beginning, with that awesome guitar riff and the Wurlitzer electric piano. The middle and the end are pretty great too. Of course, Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" has that great organ intro. I may be stuck in the late 60's but I can live with it.
