Best Two Lead-Off Songs on an Album

For a long time I thought the best two beginning songs on an album were "Whatever Happened to Pong?" and "Thalassocracy" off of Frank Black's Teenager of the Year. But recently, this assumption has been challenged by Turbonegro's "Librium Love" and "Armed and Fairly Well Equipped" off of special editions of Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives. I mean, hell, both albums have awesome titles, but it's hard to argue with the latter. And plus, "Armed and Fairly Well Equipped" is like the greatest hardcore song ever. It's what Rites of Spring would've made had they had talent. And "Librium Love", once listened to, speaks for itself.
