For me:

The acoustic intro to Whatever by Oasis

The intro to Aint it Fun by Gun's N Roses - from the Spaghetti Incident album. Thank me later, it's such a great chord sequence. Just the first 10 seconds or so.

Also check out Coma by Guns N Roses from 6mins 10 seconds to 6min 30 seconds. Love that solo.

This Charming Man - The Smiths

fillmore jive

Fook that police- NWA.

Burning Eclipse

Depends on the mood largely, but some ideas...

Baba O'Riley - The Who

Paradise City - Guns 'N' Roses

Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits

humberklog

Prodigy- No Good.
Abba- Voulez Vouz.
Donna Summer- I feel love.
Death in Vegas- Aisha.

Not best ever but tickle my fancy at the moment.

Funky Monks-Red Hot Chili Peppers

I'll second that. The intro runs far longer than 10 seconds though? Maybe different versions.
