I'd ignored this thread because the concept annoyed me in a Guitar Player magazine sort of way. But I should have had more faith, this thread actually isn't irritating.

For some reason, the heavy rocking riff in Styx's "Lady" when it really "kicks in" sticks in my brain. I guess I'm fond of Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak", also.
