    Wouldn't it be nice, Pet Sounds, Beach Boys. She bangs the Drum, Stone Roses, Stone Roses. Here comes the Sun, Abbey Road, The Beatles. Alone again or, Forever changes, Love. 
    Here comes the Sun is the first track on side B. If you have it on CD then its not first anywhere. 

    First track on Abbey Road is Come Together so I'll give you half a like.

    I'd put Fight Fire With Fire ahead of Battery. Would also go for Beneath The Remains as Sepultura's best opener.

    On your metal theme I'd say Angel of Death by Slayer. 

    Seen a couple mentions of Where The Streets Have No Name and I agree. Plus I saw Ternana in Serie B come out to that a couple of months ago.
