The Music Thread Strikes Back

Doubt it gets much play here (I have a bunch of nominees that would probably elicit confused stares), but…

Davidian - Burn My Eyes by Machine Head. Brilliant track and ridiculously heavy

Metal is a great place for amazing opening tracks.

My Own Summer - Around the Fur by Deftones
Blind - Korn by Korn
The Great Southern Trendkill - The Great Southern Trendkill by Pantera
Electric Head Pt1 - Astro Creep 2000 by White Zombie

Good point.
Breaking The Law opening British Steel is pretty iconic.

Priest could have their own section!

Painkiller opens Painkiller
Ram it Down opens Ram it Down
Freewheel Burnin' opens Defenders of the Faith
The Hellion / Electric Eye opens Screaming for Vengeance
Heading Out on the Highway opens Point of Entry
Exciter opens Stained Class
Sinner opens Sin after Sin
Victim of Changes opens Sad Wings of Destiny

All utter, utter bangers

More recently Firepower was an absolutely blistering Priest album opener

“Metal” “Korn”

u wot

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Megadeth are quite a good seam to mine for this

Love to Deth - Killing is my business
Wake up Dead - Peace Sells
Into the Lungs of Hell / Set the World Afire - So far so good so what
Holy Wars - Rust in Peace
Skin O' My Teeth - Countdown to Extinction
Blackmail the Universe - The system has failed

 

[Alan]

Holy Wars is the only real option there IMO. But I am… not a Megadeth fan.

Just being an ass; I think there’s a real discussion to be had about where nü-metal actually falls in the genre spectrum. I just remember for years it was the “I’m a real metalhead” thing to just dismiss the genre entirely (outside of RATM, tho whether they’re even nü-metal or not is itself a point of contention).
