Jayhawks "Waiting For the Sun" from Hollywood Town Hall,

 

Replacements "I will Dare" from Let it Be

 

 

Cape Canaveral ~ Conor Oberst

 

 

The Who "Baba O'Riley"

I second these.

 

And throw in Big Star's "O My Soul" from Radio City and the title track from The Jam's All Mod Cons.

Talking Heads: Born Under Punches (Remain in Light).

 

Good call. It's not a proper "album," per se, but the way David Byrne opens Stop Making Sense with that solo acoustic version of "Psycho Killer," accompanied by a programmed drum beat on a boombox is pretty sick.
