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...
The Fish Cheer intro to I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag - Country Joe and the Fish. |

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
opening guitar riff, add organ, add drums, add bass.

Opening guitar riff is the best part of song. The rest of the song goes downhill from there.
