I'll give you a 4th:
Well it's been building up inside of me for oh I don't know how long...
You know, Roger Christian never gets his just due. The Don't Worry Baby lyrics alone should put him in the ranks of an Asher or a Parks. |

As for musical openings to songs, it's all Monkees for me:
The opening bass lick on 'You Just May Be The One.'
The opening guitar riff on 'Plesent Valley Sunday.'
The descending chords that begin 'Circle Sky.'
The piano on 'Daydream Believer.'
That wicked riff at the beginning of 'You & I.'
And my all time fave: The kick ass banjo on 'You Told Me.'
I could keep going, but I don't want to steal them all.

PapaNez, you gotta go check out our Monkees album review thread on the new Smile Shop board. Your input would be greatly valued. We have a big Monkees thing going on this month.

I can't believe I forgot to mention (although someone else might have, and I may have missed it):
Standing on the corner,
suitcase in my hand.
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest,
and me? I'm in a rock 'n' roll band.
F yeah! I absolutely melt when Lou Reed sings that last line. It is the whole totality of rock and roll for me.

A lot of great choices here!
But in my mind nothing beats Richard Manuel singing this line:
"We carried you in our arms on independance day"

"There must be some kinda way outa here, Said the joker to the thief"
"Turn off your mind relax and float downstream"
"Where did your long hair go, Where is the girl I used to know..."
"Long as I remember, the rain's been coming down, Clouds of mystery pouring confusion on the ground"
Best final line: "Take anything you want from me........Anything!"
