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
