Just to name a few......


AC/DC - "Thunderstruck"

Deep Purple -- "Knockin' At Your Back Door"

Rush -- "The Camera Eye"

Boston -- "Foreplay/Long Time"

Led Zeppelin -- "In The Evening"

Rainbow -- "The Gates of Babylon"

Queen -- "One Vision"

Triumph -- "I Live For The Weekend"

You Really Got Me- Van Halen
We Will Rock You - Queen

"Seet Home Alabama"

Megadeth "Holy Wars"

Slayer "Raining Blood"

Subdivisions, Overture leading into the Temples of Syrinx from 2112 by Rush
Everybody Wants Some by Van Halen
Bela Legosi is Dead by Bauhaus
Smack My B**** Up by Prodigy
Time, Money by Pink Floyd


I am not sure if my last two count as rock. Metallica has has too many to name. The Artist is so right I am not sure if it gets any better than the opening riffs to RAINING BLOOD by SLAYER, Megadeth does come very close, they have many more too. This category is so tough.

Deep Purple yes! But the song would be "Smoke on the Water". (particularily the long version)

Complete agreement on Time and Money by Pink Floyd.
RUSH - 2112
Silver Wheels/Crazy On You - Heart

Lust for Life Iggy Pop

The Hellion/Electric Eye Judas Priest

Barracuda Heart

Not "real" rock but Grand Illusion Styx

Bwatitwaba (or however you spell it) Kid Rock

Jesus Built My Hot Rod Extended Ministry

Motherless Children Eric Clapton

Too many to list for Iron Maiden, But especially The Trooper

Song Remains the Same Led Zeppelin

The Zoo Scorpions

And I Live for the Weekend was/is one of my favorite songs

those are just a few for me.

Dude, you've changed over the years.

"Knocking at Your Back Door" is awesome. When I worked for the Timberwolves we used to "open the game" with that a lot.

I've always liked the intro to "Roundabout" by Yes. Yes, I am a closet Yes fan.

"Kickstart my Heart" is sweet as well.

A few more........


Montrose - "Bad Motor Scooter"

Led Zeppelin - "Achilles' Last Stand"

Sweet - "Ballroom Blitz"

GNR - "Welcome To The Jungle"

STP - "Vasoline"

Yes - "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" (Good call on "Roundabout", chickenboy)

Metallica were the masters of this prior to entering a state of total suck!

Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath
Hell Awaits/Slayer
Screaming for a Love Bite/Accept
Crowned in Terror/The Crown
Insanity's Crescendo/Dark Tranquillity
The Last in Line/Dio
Black Horsemen/King Diamond
Metal Church/Metal Church
To Bid You Farewell/Opeth
When the Crowds are Gone/Savatage

And if I was to pick the best Yes intro, I would have to go with The Gates of Delirium. Strangely enough, if I was to pick the best Yes "outro," I would also go with The Gates of Delirium.

The subtle guitar picking intro (rarely played on radio) or the hard-charging part? Great tune. There are worse "Best Ofs" than than "The Guess Who"
