    I'd probably be on XM or something, but...

    (NSFW and not Rick Astley)





    In all honesty...

    - "Cochise" by Audioslave

    OR

    - "Bulls on Parade" by RATM

    Both have great intros and would be a perfect lead in to the first show.

    Much obliged, dools. The check's in the mail.

    -------------

    Mine would be "Death From the Skies" by George Hrab.

    That's really good stuff there.

    Some great ones already mentioned by others here - "Around The Dial" is a great choice - so I will go with "Rock And Roll" by Zeppelin.

    "Begin the Begin", REM

    1st runner up: "She Sells Sanctuary", The Cult

    "Around the Dial" is a fantastic call, btw.

    Real easy. Patches, by Clarence Carter. In fact, I consider doing a 24-hour marathon, in which I just play it over and over again.

    Patches (1970) was one of the very first singles I ever purchased. Great, great soulful song.

    One night, a friend and I had a bit to drink and called every radio station we could find a phone number for in Chicago to request it. It was in the mid 90s. We never had our request fulfilled. :( I think we only found one DJ that even knew the song.
