https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkdYRDvX3n4 Those opening 20 secs also feature in Wayne's World 2, just as he sets off for the First Presbyterian Church on Gordon Street. Well, at least a cover version does. They'd run out of money and couldn't afford the original. |

Hey Joe, Jimi Hendrix. It's the reversal of chords at the start - the key change? - almost casual, yet instantly recognizable fifty years later, unparalleled. |

Narrowing down the field, I'd say my recommendation nails it in the first ten.

I've mentioned it on here before as have others but the opening of She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult never fails to get my engine running. It was released in 1985 and still sounds fresh and ballsy after all those years, one of my favourite songs most definitely.

Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild
also they conned the term Heavy Metal in this song before anyone else: "I like smoke and lightening Heavy metal thunder Racing with the wind And the feeling that I,m under" there it is, pretty good to come up with a line like that |

Narrowing it down, "Hey Joe" Hendrix totally nails it in the first 7 seconds.
And still the most recognizable intro in rock and roll - can we all agree on this? |

Remember going to a motorbike festival many years ago and a tribute band played that song with a female lead singer in black leathers, just about as sexy as it is possible for music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8X1EKyhLHw Tony Wilson used that intro for one of his shows at the time ("What's On", maybe?). The BBC captions in the video make a big deal out of identifying the cool dude picking out the intro as Bram Tchaikovsky; nobody that cool has a name like Bram Tchaikovsky - it's Nick Garvey. |

Iron Maiden, 2 minutes to midnight - the song is 6 minutes long. Surely by the end it's 4 minutes PAST midnight? |

Never noticed before but 'Song 2' is just a slightly faster rip-off of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Spirit of Radio is a good shout though. |
