Motorhead - Whichever one sounds most like throwing the drum kit down a flight of stairs. Turned up to 11.

Stay Clean?

[Pastor Of Muppets]

The intro to Xanadu by Rush, preferably on a quiet peaceful night in the dead of winter with headphones on, no other sounds just this,
you're lulled into a hypnotic wondrous state................................ and then your front teeth get knocked down your throat.

And of course the ending is the climax to one of the greatest rock tracks in history. An epic masterpiece.

[Lord Flashheart]

It can't get much better than Don't Bang the Drum by The Waterboys can it? Hold back on your accelerator and then bang, pedal to the metal and your licence in the bin!

Turn on your proper speakers, not the st that comes out of your laptop, and then play it.

Ozzy - Diary of a Madman… Randy Rhoads at his finest on guitar


Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary


Queensryche - Empire


Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains…. Fabulous on a good system with decent speakers

[andySC]

Pinball Wizard intro is fantastic.

Then it descends into nonsense. Plays with his sense of smell ? Does he ste !

[pauloroberto]

Thunderstruck, especially live at Donnington sends shivers down my spine.

Or, for something more subtle, Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith. https://youtu.be/wwKwoU9cQ_o

Not for me.
It was as much a tongue in cheek comment as a quest for the "one"
Overkill is it.

More...
Ramones: Any. For the simplicity - they all go 1-2-3-4.
Jonathan Richman & t'Modern Lovers: Roadrunner. For going two better. 1-2-3-4-5-6!

I feel you….

I saw them live back in the day at Wembley Arena… so much more than I expected, a tight band.

I did wonder, but Overkill is much less chaotic than Stay Clean...

With you all the way on this one.

Autumn song by the Manics has a great opening, it's the best bit if the track by far; the remainder I'm far less fussed by.

Also I must mention Equinoxe Pt1 by Jean Michel Jarre, which is absolutely superb. Beautiful first minute or so.

[singlecoil]

Rolling Stones, masters of the intro

for instance

Gimme Shelter
Honkey Tonk Women
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Sympathy for the Devil

[PomBstard]

Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera…



The Cult - Sun King…



Might be back with a few more later…

KLF - 3am Eternal…



Primal Scream - Loaded…



Stevie Wonder - Uptight (Everything’s Alright)…

Always loved the intro to Drop Dead Legs by Van Halen

When the drums kick in on 16 seconds it's just fantastic
