"More Than A Feeling" Boston: Eponymous.

Double points for inspiring the riff in Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I've sampled a couple of songs recommended here. 

I think our music tastes are...different  :ph34r:
Give us a few examples of your favorite songs so we can listen to them too. :)

I can remember the Saturday I walked into Camelot Music at the mall with my allowance and bought that album.

:fasttimesatholyshitiamold:
Given where I grew up, that song (and album) got nonstop airplay when it came out.  I never got tired of Hall and Oates though. :cool:

Have you made up your mind on whether I am an old American lady, or Chinese Empress Dowager of the Animetards?   :P

Depends on whether or not you're wearing curlers at the time.

Why I am just shocked that you aren't a fan of Sonic Youth and the Grateful Dead.   ;)

Here's one for you Mono (though it's not a first song):

This one was the spotlight dance at CB and my wedding.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Anyone mentioned Only Shallow by My Bloody Valentine or I Wanna Be Adored by Stone Roses yet?

I had MBV but Stone Roses I forgot and should definitely be mentioned.

Meh, I love that album but does an opening track like I Wanna Be Adored actually qualify when a 4 1/2 minute song is 3 minutes' worth of fade in?

The second best is "Alive" by Pearl Jam.

Not under consideration in this thread. Track 1 is "Once". :contract:

Not on the single.  :P

As much as I liked The Stone Roses back in the day, hearing them live destroyed much of that.  :ph34r:

The bass starts much earlier and is delicious and the riff at 1 1/2. I think it does qualify.

Oh, I remembered one more: Hells Bells on AC/DC's "Back in Black".

Back in its day, it was rather awesome.
