cmatthes Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 My winner, hands-down: I can still remember the first time I heard it. Totally freaked out.
atquinn Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Regret - New Order This one deserves a video link. Awesome song!

Jakeboy Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I humbly submit 5 for your consideration...all classics:Hard Day's Night...Beatles.....just for the iconic ringing G7sus chordBrown Sugar.....Stones......just nasty and yet a grooveTrain Kept a Rollin'...Aerosmith.....I tro right into a rippin' solo over a HEAVY rhythm.Heartbreaker.....Zep......the riff that sent chills down my spine the first time I heard it.....still does....Highway To Hell...ACDC....simple , heavy, and it is the hook.....they were never better
MCChris Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Great call on the Hollies tune. First heard it on a K Tel compilation and that's was when I fell in love with the sound of the electric guitar. Kiss turned me on to the sound of a distorted electric guitar.I had the same reaction as Matthes when I first heard "Mean Street." On vinyl, so the snaps, crackles and pops added to it. Still doesn't have the same effect without them.
ScottM Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 39 Seconds - Tubes World Tour Missed this one? Exactly 30 seconds...
zorrow Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I cannot believe nobody has mentioned this one: Nothing starts a rock song better than a killer, attention-grabbing riff. And now we'll have dozens of songs from Black Sabbath and Deep Purple comming, right?
zorrow Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 One from Malmsteen -the entry keyboard-oriented riff is a classic: PS: And the solos too, no BS!
Rockola Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Cynic wins - Smiths was awesome.... lots of honorable mentions
Mitch Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Why BTTW never returns to the opening riff, I'll never know. Pretty much downhill after the first 30!
3of5 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Can't believe this one wasn't suggested yet. So here it is.
serial Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Not my favorite band by any stretch (I saw them on this tour and they sucked), but this intro was one I'd have to crank and restart. Play loud...http://youtu.be/m_gGWsqd8Ec'Mean Streets' was awesome-we got that the day it was released-walked home eight miles from school after stopping at the record store as they were unpacking the shipment.
