Hope everyone is having fun with these WEAKEST LINK polls. With the new poll we will decide the best "Opening Track on a Debut Album". For these artist this was usually the VERY first track anyone heard of them. So with this one I came up with 10 for us to debate about and choose from.
Disclaimer: I know there are thousands of great debut albums with with great opening tracks, I could not include them all and I want to be the first to say I am sorry for not including your favorite. These are just the ones that came to my mind.
Remember you are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the 2 songs with the most votes. We will then move on to Round 3.
Thanks again for playing.

And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky

@dankind will have bad flashbacks.
Somebody's got it in for Dankind. They're printing stories in the press.

That opening track just happens to probably be their best song.
I see others considering how it changed the musical landscape and it’s impact on society, and such.
What’s up with that?

it’s a list of great songs and albums. If I picked based on popular appeal or how catchy it is, I suppose Boston wins. To me it’s a way to counteract the impulse to vote for pop music because it’s arguably more fun to listen to.
i thought I was asked to vote for “my” weakest link on the list

In this context, I'm slightly surprised as well. But I think it's a terrific song! It's easily the oldest song on the list. I guess it's just too old for this crowd.

It’s not the age, as the Beach Boys debut track Surfin’ Safari I would have kept on the list that’s also from the 60’s
Mainly, because every lame ex-boyfriend they ever had put it on a mixtape for them.
Movin' on!
