The best song intro ever

Amazing, having a listen now as I've not heard it in a while. I don't think I've met one person who doesn't like this album. What I love is it demonstrates that creativity is far more powerful than technical ability. I know Cage was a master musician and composer. Don't think he was on this was he?

A Velvet Underground would ruin the economy of London, no one would want to get off. Well, apart from the 2 million on each carriage who didn't manage to get a seat.

What other albums are this popular? Seriously don't know anyone who doesn't own it. Mind you none of them formed a band but I think that only happened in the 60s and 70s. Sounds a bit like the PIxies were very influenced too.

 

Was a fan of the pixies dolittle album

 

Oh yeah all time classic possibly defined a generation and surely influenced Grunge and other styles after like Radiohead etc.

And it doesn't even have their best track on it, Gigantic. But they're still the best tracks of all albums that came out at that time with the exception of the genius of Sonic Youth.

 

Seen sonic youth live in the Astoria london many moons ago supported by dinasaur junior was a great gig

 

Brilliant

Seen the same two in the ABC about I dunno 10 years ago maybe now. Was incredible. Oh man I have to post a song now, think you probably know which one. Not heard Mascis for a while.

Orgasmic guitar.

 

Classic swervedancer

 

My one and only time I've ever been to ipox was to see the cult the Waterboys hipsway etc years ago

 

RATM Guerilla radio
Slipknot Pschyosocial
The Clash Straight to *
Rancid Bloodclot
New Dress
Bear's Den Agape

 

I do like streets of no name as said, but for me the one sticking out is, Money for Nothing by Dire Straits.

 

Hope you got a good scrub down after that.

 

Pretty Vacant * Pistols (probably already been said)

 

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know.

Simple, effective, iconic.

 

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood , I wish the entire song sounded like that.

 

Dire Straits - Money for nothing

 

I'd consider the likes of .......

Van Halen ..... Hot For Teacher
Guns N Roses ..... Welcome to the Jungle
Iron Maiden ..... The Trooper
Simple Minds ..... Waterfront
Metallica ..... For Whom The Bells Toll

But probably finally go for .......

Pink Floyd ..... Shine On You Crazy Diamond

 

Classic:

 

got a soft spot for this (especially the pause in a middle of the intro):
