Default Best Opening Track

What is the best opening track on an album? Any album anytime...

I suggest you use these criteria

Is it the best song on the album?
Does it set the tone for the album?
Is it instantly recognizable?
Does the band open with it at live shows?

I'd say you should have three of those four at least to use it but do as you will.

Good Times, Bad Times - Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
Baba O'Reilly - The Who - Who's Next
