Well I do like the nominated 1812 on the basis that a piece of music that requires artillery fire has a lot going for it versus munitions free music. However a song popped up from distant memories, those halcyon days of romantic impetuousness when my Lovely Fire Breathing MemSahib Her Serene Imperiousness Indoors lying on a sofa eating cakes was a younger​ lady ...
The song, by the doggy door dah band, "Death Cab for Cutie"... I should have realised that I'd be paying the fare once ensnared in Love's fatal embrace.

Lady Eleanor from Lindisfarne's first album "Nicely Out of Tune".
Good one. I’d forgotten how Lindisfarne were until this reminded me.

What's this??? No Kylie Minogue tracks nominated yet?

One interesting bit of trivia regarding the 1812 by Tchaikovsky is that at it's first public performance the enthusiastic chaps firing the cannons managed to inflict substantial damage to nearby buildings including, I think, a cathedral of some importance.

Bombtrack by RATM is definitely up there for me. First album, first song... They have better songs, but this one has special place in my heart.

There are so many fantastic first tracks of fantastic albums
But Robert Wyatt's Sea Song on Rock Bottom is... different from anything else, and perfect

I've gotta throw Hells Bells by AC/DC into the mix, but ultimately I agree with the Pink Floyd suggestion.

Hmmm.

Power of Equality off Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP. It isn't a super well-known track, but it sets the groove for one of the best albums of the era.
