Best opening tracks?

As an aside...in the digital music era, will we ever again discus an album's construction the way it is being discussed here?

People so rarely listen to an album the way the artist hoped, does it take away from music?

 

Once - Pearl Jam - 10
Aces High - Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Subdivisions - Rush - Signals
Straight Outta Compton - NWA- Title track
Copperhead Road - Steve Earle - title track
tonight tonight - smashing pumpkins - melon collie
we got the beat - the go gos - their debut (it WAS the title track, right?)
owner of a lonely heart - yes - 90125
paper in fire - mellencamp - lonesome jubilee
rain on the scarecrow - mellencamp - scarecrow
heaven knows - Robert plant - now and zen

 

A couple more:

bawitdaba - kid rock - devil without a cause. Say what you want about him -it's a hell of a song.

Sun king - the cult - sonic temple

night parade - Robbie robertson - Storyville

 

Close - album was "Beauty and the Beat."

 

and according to the track listing at Amazon, Our Lips Are Sealed was the opening track

 

I would have sworn "we got the beat" was the opener. In any event, it would have made for a better opening track.
