hmm...

it is about which track is the best opener for an album, or
which track, being the first of an album, is the best? (i
understood it the first way)

I agree with "Human Behavior" on Debut. I also think that
Pretty Good Year on Tori Amos album Under the Pink is an
excellent opener. Then again, I love everything by Tori, so
Im biased. ;)

''Aphex Twin - RDJ - "4" ''

Agreed, 'tis awesome.

I'll go the obvious route and say Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band has the best intro ever.
