Here are all the songs I have that I consider to be great first tracks (click for larger view).
Now, of those 39 songs, which are my Top 10? From 1st to 10th, let’s go!
- Medication by Damien Jurado
- Out on the Weekend by Neil Young
- The President’s Dead by Okkervil River
- My Name is Jonas by Weezer
- The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash
- Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
- Sperm Ridden Burden by Roadside Monument
- Pink Moon by Nick Drake
- Two of Us by The Beatles
- Round Hear by Counting Crows
Yes, I did put a U2 song on there. Even though I may not like them, this song is a perfect example of what a strong first track can do for a band.
