    Default Songs instantly recognizable becuz of their drum beats...

    Hey guys,

    What are some songs instantly recognizable when you hear the first few seconds of the drum beat? The drums are so unique to the song it becomes part of the 'hook'... vocals and guitars are not necessary to identify the song...

    "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith quickly comes to mind.

    "Rock N Roll" by Zeppelin is a given.

    "We Will Rock You" by Queen is known all over...

    Gimmie more!
    If I know I'm going crazy, I must not be insane.

    That one came to my mind right away.

    An old Zeppelin tune, I think it's "When the Levee Breaks".
    "Just like bad gas, they (metal riffs) sneak out every once in a while."
    Jah Paul Jo - Dread Zeppelin

    "We will rock you" is the only song that can be recognized by ANYBODY at the age between 15 and 65.
    "When the levee breaks" would be the second.
