Finally something I care about on you tube. It's personal, but Siamese Dreams, Smashing Pumpkins, always does it for me. The drum roll.

There's something so fascinatingly grandiose and intimidating about listening to first seconds of Red and looking at the album cover, showing three absolute beasts of prog rock. One of the most powerful album openings of all time.
