The Rush Fan in me wants to say La Villa Strangiato though. |

Money - the cash register and the bass riff grab your attention and keep you hooked.
Close 2nd for me is Hotel California acoustic version. |

Closer to Home is also a favorite
I also forgot the classic intro...

...I know I've been mad. I've always been mad...
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
opening guitar riff, add organ, add drums, add bass.
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Opening guitar riff is the best part of song. The rest of the song goes downhill from there.
Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws |

Location: Wichita, KS | I gotta agree with Floyd's "Time", "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Xanadu", and "Bodhisattva" already mentioned. I'd like to make a pitch for:
Nice, Nice, Very Nice - Ambrosia
Overture to 2112 - Rush
Baba O'Riley - The Who
Never Been Any Reason - Head East
just off the top of my head... |

Honestly? When I read Gallerinski's post, "We Will Rock You" that stoopid thing actually popped into my head. Was sitting here at my desk by myself and I laughed out loud. Had to post it.
