Best Opening Track (lyrics, dancing, jazz, album, beatles)

I've heard that Dylan song mentioned in that context before. I haven't had
'Highway 61 Revisited' on the turntable in a long time, thanks for the excuse...

Three off the top of my head:

Bob Dylan-Like a Rolling Stone
AC/DC-Highway to Hell
Joy Division-Disorder

King Crimson-21st Century Schizoid Man

Best song on that album

court of the crimson king pwns, yo

dude, 21st Century Schizoid Man by far was the most chaotic, engrossing track on that cd. The lyrics are haunting and the jazz in the middle of that song is amazing. I'm not saying Court of the Crimson king is bad at all, it's a close second (Epitaph being third ).

Am I the only one who went with Disorder?

That can't be right.

That is literally one of the coolest songs of all time.

Oh, that first section of Frances The Mute is just incredible.

Right when the song starts (around 4mins 30sec) is the best part.
