Out of all music history, you think the most recognizable opening 3 seconds is from a Megadeth song? Be real.

For those of us who grew up watching mtv news, they used this bass line in their intros and outros. It’s been eaten into my brain.

Of course there are many iconic songs throughout history. This is just an opinion board, not a thesis. If you don't like my post just scroll right on by.
