Badlands - Darkness On The Edge Of Town (Bruce Springsteen)

In the fist 20 seconds he manages to get in drum, piano and guitar riffs each of which might ordinarily appear as an entity smack in the middle of a song

Oasis - Rock n Roll Star

A truly defining mission statement for what Oasis were all about back then
