There is no more perfect opening to an album than Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. https://open.spotify.com/track/4CeeEOM32jQcH3eN9Q2dGj">https://open.spotify.com/track/4Ce...
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        Actually, Surfin& #39; USM by Carter USM sets the tone pretty well too.

                        Ah, crap; this is turning into a thread and I hadn& #39;t meant it to. Damn you  @steveparks for getting me started. 
Next up for an album opening that sets the tone: The Future by Leonard Cohen. https://open.spotify.com/track/5l8lYrnPEM1ln3J4XaTcy5">https://open.spotify.com/track/5l8...

                        I& #39;m showing my musical preferences now, but Irresponsible Hate Anthem by Marilyn Manson - though not as accomplished as The Beautiful People - certainly sets the mood for the rest of Antichrist Superstar. https://open.spotify.com/track/7wyVuNCEr1j8NfG1vwMXZp">https://open.spotify.com/track/7wy...
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        One of those albums that I was surprised I loved so much in my teenage years, but A Short Album about Love by The Divine Comedy was so beautiful, and who isn& #39;t In Pursuit of Happiness? https://open.spotify.com/track/1ROkGn4GeGlO7RobayXGrj">https://open.spotify.com/track/1RO...
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        The marchin& #39; boots of Holidays in the Sun certainly set the scene for the rest of Nevermind the Bollocks by The Sex Pistols. And I still often quote that line of a "cheap holiday in other people& #39;s misery". https://open.spotify.com/track/4e3TIXJcX3oQJnLup57I0r">https://open.spotify.com/track/4e3...
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        WTF? How am I so far into this list without mentioning Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine? Lovely, soft, melodic opening until BOOM! It& #39;s just another bombtrack ... https://open.spotify.com/track/2rBHnIxbhkMGLpqmsNX91M">https://open.spotify.com/track/2rB...
