Bear in mind that the audience has no clue what song this is until about 1:18 into the intro.

My advice is look away before you click Play. Nevermind, title is on the video.

Good ones - the acoustic intro to Crazy on You is just awesome.

Was always a fan.

Randy Rhoads was plastered all over my bedroom walls growing up - I wanted to play guitar like him more than any other guitarist.

As often as that song gets played, I never get tired of it.

Timeless music.

First one that comes to mind is Buck cherry, "Lit Up".

But there are so many others that I can't even begin.
