Actually, the first song on The Wall is "Outside the Wall," though it's not listed first.

My initial thought was "One of These Days" but, even though it's by no means a favourite track of mine, "Astronomy Domine" is just such a brilliant way to start an album - and a career.

because of the Syd connection, for me, this has to be "shine on you crazy diamond pts 1-5."

One Of These Days is such a jam.
But Astronomy Domine is one of the greatest opening tracks on any record ever so.... eat it, Meddle.

Astronomy Domine is one of the greatest songs of all time so this is an easy one for me. The way it basically invented space rock buys still totally rocks. The guitar is just killer.

The Ummagumma version of Astronomy Domine is so fucking great.

If you're counting Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts II through V as part of the opener, it's this definitely.
