What’s your favorite track one on a debut album?

When I think of people who front-load their albums, I think of basically anything by Jack White, but the request is for a debut album...

So I picked Our Debut Album (archive), a podcast from a decade ago where Stop Podcasting Yourself co-hosts, Dave Shumka and Graham Clark, made each song in 12 hours for a monthly podcast episode which culminated in their self-titled debut album. Is this my favorite track on the album? No, that'd be Ice Hotel, but that's not track one and there's only one debut album from Our Debut Album.

It's a shame there was never a follow up album, but they kinda limited themselves with the name. After all, you can only have one debut album.
