If you count Sirius as the opening to Eye in the Sky (which I do) that’s on my list

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•79 days ago

This is a good list, is what I’d say if Gimme Shelter was on it

Heart had several, but my favorite is Barracuda.

Court of the Crimson King, by King Crimson

autoexec.bsky.social•79 days ago

golden brown is so fucking good and i have the old zero punctuation videos, when he still included song snippets, to thank for introducing me to it

flexfantastic.bsky.social•79 days ago

A solid list, but I'd respectfully suggest adding Holiday in Cambodia, as God intended

They need to canonically remove the N word from that song, come on guys I want to listen to the shit in public

Good news: Kissinger is still fucking dead!

Just below the list I posted, along with How Soon is Now by The Smiths

I'll allow it, as long jello gets an opportunity to spend three hours making fun of Morrissey if the opportunity presents itself

no-mods-no-masters.bsky.social•79 days ago

I would put Peaches by The Stranglers in there too, that opening has lived in my head since they used it in Sexy Beast

🎸Air That I Breathe - hollies
Good intro too

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple is probably my personal favorite, but all of these are bangers.

reverendjesus.com•79 days ago

I'd go with "Engel" by Rammstein as at least one of them, but fully agree these are all great contenders

tpower.bsky.social•79 days ago

Time of the Season by The Zombies
For What It’s Worth by Buffalo Springfield

perpetuitas.bsky.social•79 days ago

That’s a good list.

pfellah.bsky.social•79 days ago

I would’ve found room for “Welcome To The Jungle” by Guns and Roses. It’s all about the build-up…

bearmountainpicnic.bsky.social•79 days ago

I would hold a spot for "Ahead" - Wire
