I could mention many great albums that have 1 or 2 throwaway songs, but I'm not able to remember one where it's specifically the 1st track on the album.
Back when I cared about Cradle of Filth I could have put almost every album of theirs on a list here. They tend to start with a dull as dishwater orchestral intro. |

I can remember having this issue a few times but can't remember which. It is interesting because it made me think I'd dislike the album and not want to give it a chance. It's also interesting because people like to put one of their best tracks in the intro to hook you in.

A lot of albums have one of the shorter, more fast paced tracks first. Iron Maiden don't tend to put their 8 minute epics as the first one. It would make sense if a lot of albums have a ****ty sellout radio single as the first track, but looking at all my music, I can't really find one with that problem.

Blind Guardian's A Night at the Opera is a contender for best power metal album ever, but the first track, while starting out very strong, loses me about halfway through, and it has always left a bad taste in my mouth even though every other song is basically brilliant.

Listening to the first track here I remember why I never really got into that band. Blind Guardian was always a little too maximalist for me. I feel stressed out listening to their albums. The one song of theirs I really love is Bright Eyes.

I might give the whole thing a spin if I'm feeling like torturing myself one evening, but right now I couldn't possibly handle all those 1.000 vocal overdubs screaming at me every second of the way.
