Yeah, that's a real good choice.

I like Sex Machine.

I think the clear answer is Boston's "Foreplay".

Other than that, offhand I'd say the drum solo in "American Band", and the guitars at the beginning of "That Smell".

good picks!

Where the Streets have no name, U2.
Great Build up, musical intro goes for a bit over a minute on the album version. Not a second wasted.

Take Me out- Franz Ferdinand

Straight into the lyrical intro, building toward one of the great rock riff's in history.

Television's Marquee Moon is awesome...nice avatar.

[Bob Sacamano]

The counting at the beginning of Zeppelin's "The Ocean" is pretty cool.

[Hey_Porter]

Baba O'Riley, for sure.

I would think Smashing Pumpkins, "Today" would be right up there.

Others:
AC/DC: Shook Me All Night Long
GNR: Sweet Child of Mine
Nirvana: Smells Like...

Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time" comes to mind, as does Heart's "Crazy On You".

[El Diablo]
