That's all that comes to mind at the moment but there are hundreds; maybe thousands more that I'm just not remembering.
 
I can't believe I haven't seen

Tonight I'm Gonna Rock Ya - Spinal Tap! :D

Ok I did look but not that hard! (Hey there is now 25 pages of stuff!)

Anthrax (Cover version of?) Got the time I'd forgotten about that song, I shall seek it out immediatley!

also I don't believe I have seen Londons Calling by the Clash (again I reserve the right to be wrong) not an intro with just bass but lets face it, you don't remember anything but the bass and also Guns of Brixton

And I'd got for the nominations given to Peaches, No more Heroes and Nice and Sleazy by the stranglers.

Damn just realised it took me a long time to read this thread! :)
