What makes the perfect Track 1? In this episode, we dive into the boldest, most unforgettable album openers of all time. From mission statements that slap you in the face, to the tone-setting intros that make you want to hear the whole record immediately, this one's for the tracklist nerds and sequencing obsessives.

We talk about our favorite opening songs, what makes a first track so important in the streaming age, and how bands grab your attention with just one note. We also touch on the evolution of the "side A" mindset in a playlist-dominated world.
