DEBATE:What Song Has a Better.....

Thu Feb 07, 2008 10:07 amby T-TIME
Help settle a long debate for me. Is there a song that has a better beginning than these? You know those first few bars that make you lunge for the volume. Pure adrenaline rush. These are my FAB 5. I hope for some responses to settle a argument
1. GnR - "Sweet Child Of Mine"
2. Journey - "Don't Stop Believin "
3. Springsteen - "Born To Run"
4. Van Halen - "Jump"
5. Prince - "Get Off" (I'll take some heat for this one)

Well, out of the ones you named I would say Don't Stop Believin.
Eye Of The Tiger has a great intro.

Instead of "Get off" by Prince. I'd go with "Let's Go Crazy" I'm not a Prince fan, but that friggin' song is great.

"Sweet Child O' Mine" has always been a song that gets my blood pumping. Back when I was a well-conditioned athlete (before I discovered Oreos), that song was a staple for EVERY one of my workouts! As for the rest of that list...I would also agree with DSB! "Jump" was always too cheeseball for my taste. I would add "You Shook Me All Night Long" to that list! Great tune!

I couldn't agree more. "Shook me" should be #5. "Sweet Child" gets me fucking "jacked" every time.

If the adrenaline rush is the criteria, then out of your top 5, I pick Sweet Child. Kick starts the heart and attitude with more effectiveness than a triple espresso.
DSB, while an all time fav, has a softer opening. Give me Stone in Love over DSB for an adrenaline opening.
You know what? Screw that. Give me ESCAPE over DSB for an adrenaline opening! lol....

"Stone In Love" is actually a SUPERB choice for adrenaline rush songs. I agree that it simply has a better, and faster tempo than DSB!

I Agree personally but you won't hear that on radio. I should have been more specific. Escape would be Two on the list.
