3. 'Cherub Rock'

"Cherub Rock" is one of the best album openers of all time, kicking off Siamese Dream with a series of escalating riffs that build a whole world before Corgan even begins singing the first verse. The song, a brutal takedown of phonies and hipsters, somehow seems more relevant today than it did back in the early Nineties.
