Top 5 - Best Opening Lines in Rock & Roll

There are songs that use riffs to hook you and some that use great opening lines. Lines that start a compelling story within the song. Here are my Top 5 Best Opening Lines in a rock song:

5. Sweet Child O’ Mine - Guns N Roses "She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories...Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky."

4. Immigrant Song - Led Zepplin "We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow."

3. Basket Case by Green Day "Do you have the time to listen to me whine."

2. Bring the Noise by Public Enemy "Bass! How low can you go? Death row, what a brother knows."

1. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen "The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves. Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays."

Some great runner ups: You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC, Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones, The Joker by Steve Miller Band, and Heart of Glass by Blondie.
