Love Joker and the Thief, but I don't think this is a real contest.

Well they could have and they did but LZ would not give them the rights to "Rock and Roll" which Linklater wanted to use (not "Dazed and Confused" oddly).

LZ wasn't licensing music back then they were still reclusive about it. From the mid 80s until the late 90s and 00s they approved nothing until Sopranos and Almost Famous and later in Argo.

LZ famously had been used in Fast Times (Kashmir) in the early 80s and they got permission but since then they had stopped licensing as the band could not agree on anything for about 15 years.

I've always thought the intro to "I'm Alright," from the "Caddyshack" soundtrack (not the radio edit), was pretty cool.

Love Iron Maiden but give me the Hallowed Be Thy Name intro......

eerie sound, building, the bells, when it kicks in on "looooooooooooowwwwwwwwww" with the guitars and driving beat

yep. love it. especially live.

And "School of Rock".

yeah i knew about that one too.. Jack Black's plea to LZ to let them use it is epic. It was in the link you had but thought I would just put it out here. he gives an intro and it starts about :30 in.

All off the same album, too.

Obligatory NSFW (language) warning is obvious.

not quite an intro to a song, but an intro to nearly every concert of 40 years by the best metal band of our lifetime.

Any metallica fan can attest, this song is like Pavlov's dogs for sure.
