I was just listening to 'Source Tags and Codes' by Trail of Dead, and the piano on the intro song 'Invocation' really is a beautiful way to open an album.
What are some of your favourite opening songs on albums you love?

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

I love the way that opens. It builds you up for a huge climax before the album has even begun setting it up perfectly for Agoraphobia.
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
'The Classical' is one of my favourite opening tracks and the first that came to mind here.
The way the Mark E Smith's snarl rises from behind the pounding drums is sublime.
Plus there's the infamous rumour 'Where are the obligatory niggers?....' cost them a Motown deal.
"Hey there fuckface!"
This is the home of the vain!

oooor bring da ruckus on 36 chambers
"FUCKING CROISSANT!!"

'Dalliance' The Wedding Present

'Start Again' Teenage Fanclub - first track on 'Songs From Northern Britain'.
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
"Bonefish", some crazy sounding electro-gargle, "Bonefish"... "A Peeeeacebone gotta fooouund in a dinosaauuuur wiiiiing!"

I still think Strawberry jam is their best album.
I think imay have to agree with you
But only just their best, massive massive love for Sung Tongs.
Teen Drama - Times New Viking

Obvious thing for me to post, given that I nicked the title for my username, but the sample from Shogun Assassin really sets the mood.
Mono
The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain.
Explosions in the Sky - First Breath After Coma
Converge - Concubine
The Classical
Also maybe the best song ever as well.
