These chords could start a new and better universe. Ah Angus --

The Greatest Intro I've ever heard, and probably the most sampled intro ever in hop hop (could be wrong)

This is a sweet thread. I threw up the horns when I saw it.

I have like a billion songs that turn my spine to ice and compel my brain to release incredible amounts of adrenaline, dopamine and other happy chemicals. Some notable ones though.

Thunderstruck and Back in Black by AC/DC (or Acka Dacka as we Aussies call them).

Ace of Spades by Motorhead.

Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

Save the Day by the Living End

Anything by the Ramones, Dee Dee yelling "1 2 3 4!" Then the chainsaw guitars of Johnny, fucking sweet.

Guerilla Radio, Killing in the Name, Bulls on Parade, People of the Sun by Rage Against the Machine.

London Calling, Death or Glory, Rock the Casbah, pretty much anything by The Clash.

And, as clichéd as it is I still turn into a nihilistic little punk at the intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Bella forgot about this?!
Muse - Knights of Cydonnia
great opening and video

The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love

[Quiet Reflections]

Punk Rock Girl by Dead Milkmen

[theremin]

Opening line:

"If nothing happens, they will electrocute us right after midnight"

Sacco's letter to his son
From the album "The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti" by Woody Guthrie
although this song is actually performed by Pete Seeger

[vman2375]

heart of the sunrise

[muhmuh]

very very cliche but the intro did manage to send a shiver down me spine once

Thanks for the recommendation. From that, I was able to pull the above Pavarotti and James Brown singing together video. I thought it was going to be train wreck...but it was very moving and emotional It is the kind of musical suprise , like christina aguilera & herbie hancock perfoming Song for You (Christina's voice was amazing and perfect pitch, tone, and key) or Miles playing Lauper's Time after Time (esp live version), that keeps me listenin and searching

As for sampling, you are right, Man's World sampled a lot. My brief op of sampling is this. Some sort of sampling has always been happening. Folks biting Parker, Dizzy, Coltrane, and the whole 70 and 80's had Commodores biting Ohio Players biting Bar-kays biting Parliament, but today's sampling lack reverance of past "sampling"
