    Wouldn't it be nice, Pet Sounds, Beach Boys. She bangs the Drum, Stone Roses, Stone Roses. Here comes the Sun, Abbey Road, The Beatles. Alone again or, Forever changes, Love. 
    Here comes the Sun is the first track on side B. If you have it on CD then its not first anywhere. 

    First track on Abbey Road is Come Together so I'll give you half a like. 
  • The original soundtrack 1975 10CC

    One night in Paris 
  • I looked away - Derek and the Dominoes, Layla

  • At the time, Nektar from the album Recycled. Now, much harder.
  • Dreams Never End - New Order, Movement
  • Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep2
  • Peaches En Regalia - Hot Rats - Zappa
  • A lot of great shouts already mentioned so tried to add a few not yet covered: 

    Brainstorm - Favourite Worst Nightmare (Arctic Monkeys) 
    What’s Going On - What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye) 
    Angel - Mezzanine (Massive Attack) 
    Monkey Man - Sweet and Dandy (Toots & The Maytals) 
  • Roll Over Lay Down...Hello...The Quo
  • Nirvana aren't a favourite of mine but Smells Like Teen Spirit must be up there.

  • Agree with U2.... Where The Streets Have No Name
  • Five Years - Ziggy Stardust, Bowie. 
  • I’ll chip in on this one;
    Battery - Metallica - Master up Puppets
    Feel Good Hit of the Summer - QOTSA - Rated R
    Davidian - Machine Head - Burn my Eyes
    Prodigy - Smack by Bitch Up - Fat of the Land
    Roots Bloody Roots - Sepultura - Roots
    I Wanna Be Adored - Stone Roses - self titled
    Therapy? - Knives - Troublegum

    And a double entry for Pink Floyd; Shine On You Crazy Diamond; the original Parts I-IV on Wish You Were Here and the live version on Pulse.




    I'd put Fight Fire With Fire ahead of Battery. Would also go for Beneath The Remains as Sepultura's best opener.

    On your metal theme I'd say Angel of Death by Slayer. 

    Seen a couple mentions of Where The Streets Have No Name and I agree. Plus I saw Ternana in Serie B come out to that a couple of months ago.
