Everything is perfect about this. The arrangement is perfect and the song has a menacing feel to it. The bass is what interests me the most, but the sax solo in the middle is excellent too. I think this song might have inspired Pink Floyd's Money.

What about Taxman?
"Minuature" George Martin's Intro for America's "Holiday Album" is nice. No research here just off the top of me head

Don't know about best ever, though it's a fne tune.
Off the top of my head, Genesis' Dance on a Volcano opened up _A Trick of the Tail_ very nicely, particularly because it was the first listen to Collins replacing Gabriel.
I thought the black shrink-wrap on the limited edition WYWH album that I picked up in The Netherlands was pretty good. Ii opened up beautifully which in turn allowed me to reseal it back up again and keep it in mint condition.

There are many examples of a super album opener.
'BLACK DOG' by Led Zeppelin (on Led Zep IV) jumps out at me. Turn it up!
P-Dub: Hey mama, said the way you move, gonna make me sweat, gonna make me groove...

Actually this came into my mind immediately after I posted.

All excellent. Led Zeppelin always seemed to have crushing album openers. Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, The Song Remains The Same, Custard Pie are excellent album openers.

I think my favorite music from Mayfield's canon would be the extended coda of Move On Up. Masterful stuff.
Here are other great openers from great albums --
Don McLean - American Pie Yes - Roundabout Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Of course, there are many lesser albums that also have great openers.

You got to be fucking kidding me. Except say Out On the Tiles, Friends and Hats Off To Roy Harper which are good but not spectacular, every other song on the albums is on target.

I hate American Pie but the other two I like a lot and are great openers. Yes also seemed to have flamboyant opening songs - Beyond And Before, No Opportunity Necessary No Experience Needed, Yours Is No Disgrace, Roundabout etc. Never thought about that!

Led Zeppelin sucks. They're boring, they're thieves who made some great music (that they stole) boring. Jimmy Page is a very good session guitarist. All of the great Yardbirds solos were done by either Clapton or Beck. Robert Plant's voice is annoying. I suppose if you're a stoned 14 year old boy that they could be entertaining.
