What do you think was the best opening track from a John Lennon solo album? Not neccesarily your favourite, but the one you think is the strongest opening to the album or sets the mood for the rest of the album.
Mine is (Just Like) Starting Over because I think it's the perfect song to start his first album for 5 years.

It recently won the poll for favourite track on this forum and that is of course Imagine. This album is nearly flawless and what better track to kick an album off with.  |

Imagine is my favourite song from those choices, but as an 'opening track' I voted for Mother. As soon as you hear the funeral bell tolling at the beginning, then the emotional lyrics and primal screaming at the end, you know this is going to be a powerful album.

Starting Over. Quiet and composed, then launching into greatness.

I voted Mother, for the same reasons nowheregirl said. |

(Just Like) Starting Over (Double Fantasy) because the song means so much in Lennon's life. As givepeaceachance said it's the perfect song to start his first album after been away for 5 years.

Imagine is a brilliant album. Some say it was the last best piece of work he did. I don't think that is the case.

I also voted for "Mother". That opening haunts me...

'(Just Like) Starting Over' and 'Mind Games' are the best openings, in my opinion. Both gorgeous songs and truly inspirational. As I can choose only one, I went for '(JL)SO'.
