Is this just the best song to start an album or the best song to start a great album?
Ive seen many great songs but few great albums to follow as a whole, from beginning to end, first second of track one to the fade out on the last track.

just curious
 
Guns'n'Roses - Welcome To The Jungle - Appetite for Destruction
Metallica - Battery - Master Of Puppets
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell - Cowboys From Hell
 
Fear Factory - Shock from "Obsolete"

Curve - Missing Link from "Come clean"

Tristanai - Beyond the Veil from "Beyond the Veil"
 
I see several votes for GnR - Welcome to the Jungle. I was just listening to the whole album just days ago when it was played by BBC Radio 1 uninterrupted. It certainly is a great opening track on a classic album.

My vote is for Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough from Off The Wall. The first track on his first solo album.
