List: 50 Best Opening Songs From Albums
Mixing raunch and tenderness, "Rocket Queen" brings 'Appetite' to a unique and very memorable ending. Its lyrics are surprisingly loving, but then there's the infamous bridge with the...ahem...actual sounds of love making between Axl and Adriana Smith, the then-girlfriend of Steven Adler, in the recording studio. However, once the sounds of GN'R (and the moaning) bring the album to a close, you realize that you heard one of the greatest albums of all time.
Finally we have a list that shows us the top ranked “first” songs off the greatest albums of all time…
Ryan O’Connell from BroBible, sat down and created his list of the best opening songs to the greatest albums of all time, and Classic Rock dominated his list!
1. “Welcome To The Jungle”—Guns N’ Roses
2. “Whole Lotta Love”—Led Zeppelin
3. “Let’s Go Crazy”—Prince and the Revolution
4. “Runnin’ with the Devil”—Van Halen
5. “Purple Haze”—The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Check out the rest of the list here:
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
