I feel like if an album has a strong 1-2-3 punch, it's usually a top notch album all the way through. There are just too many of those to list.

 

Someone mentioned it before. Funny thing Is, so many I want to list then see what track #4 is....

 

sometimes they chalk up to a perfect opening side, like you can't mention Moving Pictures. All of side 1 is amazing.
