My shortlist-
Slayer- Raining Blood
Deep purple- smoke on the water
Iron Maiden- The trooper
Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy train
Dimmu Borgir- Kings of the Carnival Creation
(Yeah yeah, i know i am the wigger/reggae kid, but hip-hop reggae never has any good openings 99& of the time , usually just the same beat continued for the whole song.)
Fade to Black- Rolling Stones
There are other great ones out there but none as good as that.
Very sweet list, I must admit I'm shocked to see you mentioning those bands, especially Dimmu.Quote:

I would add "No One Knows" to your list.
In trying to add a bit of rap to the list, I'd go with "Get Back" by Ludacris, and "I ain't Havin' that" by Heltah Skeltah (featuring just about all of Bootcamp) I just picked up the new Dipset album today, and it might end up with an entry, as well.
lately
Joy Division - Atmosphere
I've had it on repeat for quite some time
some of you metal heads should check it out
Qube will agree with me
Megadeth - Rust In Peace ... Polaris
Megadeth - Holy Wars ... The Punishment Due
Megadeth - Blackmail the Universe
Children of Bodom - Lake Bodom
Children of Bodom - Deadnight Warrior
Rob Zombie - More human than Human :D
And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead's "Ode to Isis" into "Will You Smile Again?"
The epic build makes me toss things through my window, it makes me throw furniture, it makes me act out in ways even I don't fully understand. Listen and you shall see what I mean.
Anything Joy Division is top tier YO
I like the following intros
1. Michael Jackson's Thriller
2. Michael Jackson's Beat It
3. 2pac' HIt em UP
4. The Cure's Pictures of You
5. Herbie Hancock's FUTURE SHOCK
6. Journey's Be GOOD TO YOURSELF

With the number of the beast, its either love or hate the beggining. Me and my brother find it laughable though :)Quote:

I really like the beginning guitar bit from Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop."

Bob sinclar - Gym Tonic.
Guns n roses - November rain
Right here, right now - fat boy slim
Spark in the dark - initial D OST
E samba - Junior Jack
Voices (Eric Prydz remix) - Steve angelo

people should listen to more metallica
raekwon : criminology : only built for cuban links
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERES NO COKE?"
ghostface killah : biscuits : the pretty toney album
"Yo... who the fuck brought me this chocolate shit, man?
I said a banana nutriment, man
Ya'll heard the fuck I said... I gave you.
I WROTE IT ON THE PAPER MAN
Ya'll muthafuckas always fuck around and forgettin' something and shit
Smart dumb niggaz and shit, runnin' around here and shit
Ya'll niggaz need to wisen up, man, yo..
Fuck that special ed, shit"
Also if you guys are gonna get Megadeth's "Killing is my business". Don't fuck up and get the supposed 're release'... Get the remastered. You get a censored version of my boots that sucks on that original release. The song sounds so awesome and its so terribly edited thats its unplayable. I have never even seen the remastered Killing Is My Business down here.Quote:

that quote is a also a reference to an old joke about farting, heh
from what I understand, Sponge had a fight with their record company over creative control, so they were tied up in legal battle for a whileQuote:
