Song With Best Beginning

I'll nominate "Cortez the Killer" by Neil Young and "Can You Hear Me Knocking" by The Rolling Stones.

Reelin' in the Years, Steely Dan. Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reilly, The Who. Brown Sugar, Rolling Stones.

It has to be the first notes!

Shine on your Crazy Diamond
Time
Locomotive Breath
Pigs

Malcolm McLaren's "Tracing Back My Steps In Time" from album "Paris".

For me it's Van Halen "Dirty Movies" off of Fair Warning.

It is, of course, impossible to name a "best" in any definitive way. But a song with an excellent beginning that I've enjoyed hearing recently is The Seekers' "Love Is Kind, Love Is Wine" .

That its solo segments feature Judith Durham's angelic and incredibly pure voice adds to its appeal that much more.
