My pick as of today April6,03 would be Dire Straits "Walk of Life"
It just seems to get the cholestrol moving!!

Hmm interesting topic Alan. Let's see, I enjoy Styx's "Renegade", Supertramp's "Even in the quietest moment", Foreigner's "JukeBox Hero" just to name a few.

Another good one is Jimmy Buffett's "One Particular Harbour"
Especially with the steel drums.I have an old VHS that I recorded a concert of Buffett's many concerts on PBS. this song was the highlight.

Play that Funky Music-Wild Cherry

 

[millerdog]

Hey! I just posted about Wild Cherry in the "one hit wonders" thread!

how bout:
Steely Dan "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"
Al Stewart "Year of the Cat"
Enigma: the first album "Close your eyes..."
AC/DC "Back in Black" and others....

 

[opt80]

How about Steely Dan's "Black Cow"?

 

[michael w]

Tarantino's unique interpretation of Madonna's Like A Virgin and Steve Buscemi's rant on tipping that precede the George Baker Selection's Little Green Bag from the start of Reservoir Dogs.

Great stuff.

 

[Mr Natural]

the Beatles 'I feel fine'

still bring chills to the spine every time I hear it

 

[Thatch_Ear]

The percussion intro for Redbone Girl on Cassandra Wilson's Blue Light Till Dawn.

 

[millerdog]

Just thought of a couple more:
The Who "Baba O'rielly"
The Smiths "How Soon is Now"
The The "Dogs of Lust"
10cc "I'm Not in Love"

Thatch, I heard her name somewhere before. How is that cd?

 

[bassnbrim]

How about the most unforgetable sax intro in rock? "Baker Street"

 

[millerdog]

not!
David Bowie's "Young American"...David Sanborn I think...

 

[Dan ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ]

The beginning of Golden Earring's "Radar Love"...all that drama and intensity, just to have it all fall flat within 30 seconds...

 

[mmandell]

Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like We Do"
Pat Travers "Snortin' Whisky"
Van Halen "Little Guitars"
Van Halen "Take Your Whisky Home"
Pete Townshend "Give Blood"
The Who "Eminence Front"

 

[Thatch_Ear]

Maybe not the best but the most recognised
Smoke on the Water----Deep Purple

 

[millerdog]

Along those lines:
"Stairway to Heaven"
I bet everyone who ever learned to play guitar knows that one.

 

[ProAc_Fan]

AC/DC's " Thunderstruck" or " Hell's Bell's"
