The Best Opening Tracks of All Time

Part of KEXP's 2024 Fall Fundraising Drive; listeners voted for their favorite album-opening tracks of all time (exact air dates not stated on the page). The source also prints each song's parent album, which is not recorded here (only artist and song title per this archive's format). A handful of obvious spelling/formatting typos were corrected (e.g. "The Go-Gos" to "The Go-Go's", "Crushd" to "Crushed", "subterranean homesick blues" to "Subterranean Homesick Blues", inconsistent "Beyonce"/"Beyoncé" spellings normalized to "Beyoncé"). Rank 697's title had a stray embedded quotation mark removed ("Cracker Island" Ft. Thundercat" to "Cracker Island Ft. Thundercat"). Rank 482's title ends with the source's own truncation ("Theme From Flood/Birdhouse in..").
