I agree with War of the Worlds too.

Fu manchu - the action is go

But I probably would say that as I saw them play it last night.

I have a fairly irregular featured track on my radio show called 'Flying Start', based on the premise that the opening track on many artistes' debut album will be a real corker. Hence over the years I did document a fairly extensive list (40+) of tracks that I could use.
Three stand-outs, therefore:
the Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There
the Rolling Stones - Route 66
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Burn It Down

…and three runners-up
Roxy Music - Remake/Remodel
Dire Straits - Down To The Waterline
Hard-Fi - Cash Machine

Exception to the rule would be the first track On 'The Second Coming' by The Stone Roses.

Ten minutes of jungle noise in case you were wondering.
