Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) is probably the best Arcade Fire song. Though No Cars Go has a case too.

Are we going for first track of the first release, or first track of the first album here?

I remember hearing this for the first time on an NME ‘Rock n Roll Riot’ CD Compilation months before the album came out. It was just called ‘Jenny’ at that point.

Strokes - The Modern Age. They’ve got other great songs but never bettered this one for me.

Blondes never topped this
