    It’s not the start of an album as such, but when Chemical Brothers play live, they always come on to this Junior Parker version of tomorrow never knows. I get a tingle down the spine every time I hear it [video]https://youtu.be/z1YKfu5sD24[/video]

    Resurrection Mutha – The Almighty.
    Still one of the best side one I’ve ever heard.

    One music question I never have any hesitation in answering.

    Massive statement of intent. Beautiful squall of noise.

    Obviously: “Acrid Avid Jam Shred” from “I care because you do” – Aphex Twin

    Just stimulates a part of my brain, as if there’s some message encoded in the drum programming and those high-frequency filter sweeps. Still a great track twenty years on.

    I haven’t seen anyone mention Audioslave – Cochise. Some sort of terrible oversight surely?

    Great choice Rusty. Bowie was inspired by Neu for Heroes, lots of influence on punk too.

    Would’ve said Welcome to the Jungle, but seeing as it’s had so many mentions already I’ll throw in this one.

    A 2 minute burst of anger to prepare you for the rest of the album.

    Can’t get past the opening track on Beggar’s Banquet. (No decent version on youtube)

    Agree with most of the above especially Prodigy but might add Klf “what time is love”.
    But the mad craziness of The Pogues Wild Cats of Kilkenny does it for me.

    Invaders—Iron Maiden

    In no way ever. A great album in parts but the opening track is bollocksly bad. And I am a lifelong Maiden fan. And let’s be honest, although their good stuff is great, the rest is piss poor.
