There appears to be a theme running in here already....
There are some great albums nominated, but there's also a lot of 'rock'
Are we (rock fans) the only ones that appreciate albums or are we the only ones with nothing better to do on a Saturday night! (apart from TheHeretic, he's off with the Martians :P)

LP? Pfft. I have the CD and the digital copy. It counts. Just because you use wax cylinders!

Showing my age, the first Iron Maiden album has three fantastic songs to start.

Not just the first couple of tracks, but the entirety of side 1 of the LP (yes, I am old!)
Misplaced Childhood by Marillion
From "Psuedo Silk Kimono" to "Heart of Lothian" it is a work of genius.

From a very narrow window about when I was born: Black Sabbath - (band/album/song) - 'ooh we just invented Heavy Metal'. Deep Purple - Fireball Led Zeppelin - Black Dog/ Led Zep 4 A bit more modern - best opening riff ever, especially as they are a rather inconsistent band: Fu Manch - 'Evil Eye' from The Action is Go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqYeedwEA4E

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen.
1.) Faron Young
2.) Bonny
3.) Appetite
4.) When Love Breaks Down
Goes downhill after that but as those are four of the greatest pop songs ever written its hardly a surprise.

Here are a couple of really good examples of the first three tracks working together to build expectation of an outstanding album - that is then matched by what comes next:
Out of Our Minds by Melissa Auf der Maur. Slow, brooding, getting deeper and deeper as the tracks go on. Brilliant concept album.
Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo. Hits hard and then keeps going.
But on a more serious point - this is surely becoming a lost art with ipods and whatnot devaluing the album as a package. How many people these days actually listen to every track on an album, in order, from beginning to end? The death of the LP and CD brought an end to that, in my view.
