DEATH ON TWO LEGS
The intro gives you a hint of that extraordinary world about to unfold this very night at the opera.
One Vision!!!
Loving the pass, cherishing the present, and looking forward to the future
This is almost a tie, but I'd have to go with

Procession.

(With ADATR opening and *directly* behind that).

I like Death Two Legs as well...it's brilliant!

I also like Procession and Tie Your Mother Down....

Cheers

procession and one vision by FAR

I love the opening on A Day At The Races, also the way it ends with the same sort of thing. It's so cool!

Procession does it for me. When a royal band enters the room, you need a royal song to greet them, procession is only appropiate for doing this.
Wear a rubber next time Freddie =(
It's got to be Mustapha .After listening to that your sure to stick around to check out the rest of the album.
I think they were very clever choosing album openers, most of them are brilliant. Mustapha's great since it's utterly peculiar. The few openers not convincing me deeply are Rockyou (although it's the best choice from the album), Staying Power (I'd have preferred Put Out The Fire) and Ga Ga (never liked the song although I accept the recording is very good).
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

TYMD isn't the opener, A Day At The Races Intro is. It's segued to TYMD, but is a separate track.
TYMD!!!...Cheers!
Personal fave? Innuendo, hands down.

One Vision is great and has always been one of my favorite Queen tracks,procession is a good track to open "Queen 2" with considering the album was a concept album but Brigton Rock is the best opener to any queen album and the guitar part in the middle is the best part!
Death on two legs
Procession
Brighton rock
Tie your mother down

All feckin kick ass
