I have always enjoyed the opening to this one.....right around 2:40 is great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD-E-LDc384 Metallica - Enter Sandman True story, I installed new speakers in my truck and had this song at full volume with the windows down.....Jamming out to it at a very long red light, I mean air guitar and head shaking; I was feeling good! I look over (drivers window) and a Motorcycle Cop was starring at me, gave me a  and the light turned green.
