AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Or maybe the obvious Smoke on the Water. Classic!

 

[Al Bundy]

Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols.

Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers.

Teenage Kicks - Undertones.

Totally agree with Public Image being awesome, but it would be 4th on my list of top opening riffs/intros.

3 great choices there.
I’d swap Alternative Ulster for Gotta get away (just because of the amazing bass at the start)

 

[weebil64]

Legend of Xanadu!!!

Aces High
Mr Tambourine Man (Byrd’s version)

Another 3 quality choices as well.
