When you hear the first few seconds of the song you know what it is and that it's a great tune.
a few examples
Dirty Water by the Standell's
96 Tears by ? and the mystrerians
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's
Kick Out The Jams by the MC5

Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees. Wonder who played that?
Several obvious Beatle choices... Day Tripper/Ticket To Ride/I Feel Fine just for starters. I Want To Tell You... Taxman...
Obscure choice - Master Of Disaster by the Psychodots.

Hey Randy - I just read a very thorough book on the Monkees...Mike Nesmith plays guitar on that one, with producer Chip Douglass on bass and Fast Eddie Hoh on drums. Peter Tork played the keys. Great, great song.

When you mentioned AC/DC, I just had to add that intro from "Thunderstruck." I just love popping that one into the car CD player, and heading down the road going, "Uhuh-uhuh-uhuh THUN-DAH!" So the other drivers think I'm wacko - who cares?? ; )

Queen: "Fat Bottom Girls". Killer May riff backed by that romping four on the floor kick. Hell yeah!

Lynard Skynard's "Gimme Three Steps" always puts a sideways banana eating grin on my face.

For sure:
Billy Squire - "rich kids"
Paul Stanley - "you belong to me"
Tom Petty & the heartbreakers - "listen to her heart"

In Rock history? I would have to say "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones. Not to far behind would be "Iron Man"- Black Sabbath or The Beatles "Paperback Writer"
Deep Purple "Smoke On The Water"....Well probably "Satisfaction". There is a hook that can kill!

Hell yeah. My heart also flutters for "I Will Dare".
Chuck Berry "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Bethoven". Still contorts me into a Keith Richards air-guitar swagger.

Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

Anna Borg commented on Anna Borg's blog post I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out"It's truly incredible, how his attitude seems to have changed. He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"
