^Haha, I remember getting into that! I had nearly forgotten him.

I'd have to agree with the consesus, Pink Floyd hands down. Even on Dark Side Of the Moon the opening track warns you to prepare for what will follow.

I was blown away when I first heard Take A Bow by Muse. I wasn't sure what I was expecting from Black Holes & Revelations but that opening track told me that I was going to love it. I desperately wanted Muse to start with Take A Bow live this summer and they did.

'Baba O'reily', from 'Who's Next'. This track is an untouchable classic and one of the first times a synth took a lead role instead of droning in the backround.

'I saw her standing there', the first track, on the first Beatles album. Paul McCartney counts in: "One, two, three, four..." And music is changed forever.

The snare beat that opens LIKE A ROLLING STONE from Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited is generally classed as a defining moment in music.
