I'm sure we're all partial to ours due to sentimental reasons. For me, this opening track is on an album I consider a rock masterpiece. It was the most played album of my high-school days:
Smashing Pumpkins, "Cherub Rock," opening track of Siamese Dream.

I can only describe this song as "burning."
