    Might as well have this one now before playlists etc. entirely wipe out the "rock album" as we once knew it.
    What is your pick for greatest opening and second track on a record (1-2 punch)? Name the record and tracks..

    Van Halen I
    "Running With The Devil"
    "Eruption"

    I don't think it can be overstated what these tracks did to the musical landscape of the 70's/80's.

    Profound.
    EVH graced the cover of every guitar magazine from 1978 until Stevie Ray came along. I remember Tom Sholz was the guy right before that (for about 5 minutes). I'm sure he was shaking his head in disbelief when he heard VH-I.

    Man the there are lots of albums with great opening tracks that are followed by a weak #2 track.

    The Stooges-Fun House,Hendrix-Are You Experienced have great openers.
