Bob Marley 'No woman no cry' - The live version on the greatest hits album.

Black dog by led zep - "hey mama, its the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove..." Cue Bonham banging seven shades out of his kit with Page trying depserately to hang on!

Your all wrong.

In second place it is the thunderous earth shattering intro to 'Whole Lotta love' by Led Zeppelin

but in first place it has to be...........

.......'Bat out of Hell' by Meatloaf

What? Where's "Phantom of the Opera" by Iron Maiden? Don't know it? Just think back to the Lucozade ad with Daley Thompson...

That's Entertainment - The Jam
3am Eternal - KLF
Phat Planet - Leftfield

Or

"Just what is it you want to do?
We wanna be free, to do, to do what ever we wanna do.
An' we wanna get loaded.
We wanna have a good time.
Oh yeah, baby.
Well that's what we're gonna do, have a good time.
We're gonna have a party!"

Sublime - Cant remember the title.

It starts off with the staff sargent from full metal jacket but the stuff he's saying isn't in the film. Funny stuff. Always makes me laugh. Can't remember the album either, there're a few tunes with him on the intro. My PC is dismantled while I decorate so I can't have a look for it either. I'll check it out when I put it back together and update.

I'd say either Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones) or Sweet Emotion (Aerosmith).
