re: Artists whose best song is the first song on their first album

Turning Japanese - The Vapors

I submit this with a caveat that this is easily the song everyone in the US knows them from, and it was indeed the first track off the US release of their debut LP New Clear Days - however it should be noted that it was the 2nd track on the UK version.

It’s also not the best song on the album, which is an absolutely brilliantly crafted piece of early 80s power pop with punk sensibilities. But its incredibly catchy.
