No better example for me than the Boss, Bruce Springsteen's "The Ties that Bind."  From the opening drumbeats from Mighty Max, to the Big Man's sax solo, and finally to Bruce's exclamation of "TO FACE THE TIES THAT BIND!," this song has me pounding whatever is around.

Perhaps due to the cross-pollination of Springsteen and Southside Johnny, the latter also has several songs that press my mental "pedal to the metal."

"Take It Inside," penned by Little Steven is great example"

A bit obvious perhaps, but for me nothing recorded in the past 47 years tops Keith's opening riff for pure audio rock and roll adrenaline ...

Any number of LZ songs would fit this fine discussion, I second Vic's motion sometimes it's those old obvious tunes we love the best.

If there was a discussion titled musical ripoffs, this one would fit as I always think its Led Z when it begins.

I do reach for the volume knob when it comes on so it must fit the bill here as well.
