"Introductory Song..."

Which song first sparked your interest in a band? Whenever I listen to an album, I always remember the song which either made me interested in the band, or made me buy that album.

The most prominent ones for me are;
Muse - Hysteria
Switchfoot - Meant To Live (perhaps their only good song)
Yellowcard - Way Away
American Hi-Fi - The Art Of Losing
Three Doors Down - Love Me When I'm Gone
Brand New - Jude Law And a Semester Abroad
HoobaStank - The Reason

So what are yours?

The Offspring - Change the world (it wasn't so much that song, but the album it was on because my brother had it on alot while playing Gran Turismo 2, but i guess that song's the best and i was only about 9)
Greenday - Basketcase
American Hi fi - Flavor of the weak
Sugarcult - Councing off the walls
Rage against the machine - Guerilla radio
Goldfinger - Superman
Blink 182 - All the small things
Lost prophets - Shinobi Vs. Dragon ninja

The only 'first songs' I can remember that made me interested in a band were:

Muscle Museum - Muse
Slave to The Wage - Placebo
Roseability - Idlewild
It's Not The End of The World? - Super Furry Animals

Finger Eleven - Slow Chemical
Blink 182 - Rock Show
American Hifi - Flavour of the Weak
My Vitriol - Vapour Trails
Everclear - Everything to Everyone
Sum41 - Fat Lip
System of a Down - Chop Suey
Drowning Pool - Bodies

I told you to get those two, no?

For me it's no quite so much an introductary song, most of the time, more often seeing that an album has good reviews and is reccomended to me. Nevertheless, here comes a list of as many of the so-called "Introductary Songs" as I can remember.

Metallica- Battery
Black Sabbath- Devil & Daughter
Nirvana- Serve The Servants
Deep Purple- Smoke On The Water
Whitesnake- Is This Love?
Rainbow- Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
Judas Priest- Breaking The Law

Yes. Few.

Linkin park - crawling
Hoobastank - the reason
Lostprophets - last train home
chillies - around the world
daft punk - around the world :P
The cure - pictures of you
Brand New - Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die
