The Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (still sends shivers down my spine)
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
INXS - What You Need (although they have some other strong contenders)

Post by: sweetcell on February 05, 2010, 11:03:30 am: not sure it belongs on the same list as "papa was a rolling stone", but the intro to DCFC's "i will possess your heart" is pretty epic.

Post by: Jaguar on February 05, 2010, 02:28:35 pm: Not that I sit around listening to this band anymore, or was even ever much of a fan of, but the opening to

'L.A. Woman' by The Doors

is one of the best openers to a song that I've ever heard. Perfect lead-in to a what turns out to be a full out Rock song. Not even a song that I'd ever consider a favorite but that opener is a thing of beautiful musical perfection.

Post by: vansmack on February 05, 2010, 06:08:56 pm: This is shocking coming from me, but the intro to The National Anthem by Radiohead is pretty sick.

Not sure the rest of the song holds up, but I do like the intro.
