21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

Glad I checked the thread; this was my immediate thought. Crimson didn't exactly tiptoe their way onto the scene, did they?

ELP's The Barbarian and Deep Purple's And the Address are great also.

 

[GK Growl]

Them Bones - Alice in Chains. First track off of Dirt.

Break on Through - The Doors
[DEL]Purple Haze[/DEL] Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix

Edit: I missed the earlier Purple Haze reference, but Foxy Lady was the 1st track on the UK release.

 

[guitarflinger]

Really tempted by Night Ranger - Don't Tell Me You Love Me. But the winner for me is:


wait for it



Mississippi Queen - Mountain Climbing


Best 2:37 of rock and roll ever.
