I love putting on an album and hearing the first line or 2 of the first song that really sets the tone for the whole album or otherwise just makes me go "fuck yeah" because I know I am in for a hell of a ride. Here is some that always makes me smile off the top of my head.

Patti Smith - Gloria: "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine"

Roxy Music - Street Life: "Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah"

Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor: "Efficiency and progress is ours once more, now that we have the neutron bomb"

Television - See No Evil: "What I want, I want now"

What makes you smile?

Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates: "... And then we all bought yachts."

Dopesmoker is pretty iconic, obvs.

Crass - Asylum from the Feeding of 5,000 "I am no feeble Christ..."

First song on GG Allin's Hated In The Nation, the unimitable I wanna fuck myself - "I pull my pud until it bleeds,I masturbate on toilet seats"

That opening sample on Mondo Generator's 13th floor, "You know, it's like, ah, you know, it's just a, it's just a, it's just a different thing,"

De La Soul's Three is the magic number.

The Cure- Pornography: "IT DOESNT MATTER IF WE ALL DIE"

Absolutely this.

Also The Clash - Combat Rock

"This is a public service announcement. WITH GUITAAAAAR"

NOTHIN' FUCKIN' MATTERS ANYMOOOOOOOOORE

King Diamond-Out From the Asylum off of Them-"Look, the old bitch is back"
Husker Du-The Real World off of Metal Circus-"People talk about anarchy/and taking up a fight/Well I'm afraid of things like that/I lock my doors at night"
Neil Young-Tell Me Why off of After the Goldrush- "Sailin' heart-ships through/broken harbors/ out on the waves in the night/Still a searcher must/ride a dark horse/racing along/ in his fright"
*cough, cough, cough*-Sweet Leaf, by Black Sabbath off of Master of Reality.

"What is this that stands before me?..."

"In 1984, I was hospitalised for approaching perfection, slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction."

"We left town to the sound of buckshot rain..."

"If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man..."
"Only way to feel the noise is when its good and loud..."
fuck, any Motorhead? aha.

...the whole All Hail the New Flesh rant at the beginning of SYL's City.

Bannon's lyrics are fucking hardcore cheeseballs, but I guess I dig the cheese, Converge's "Last Light"
"I need you to be the strength of widows and sole survivors, I need you to be as fearless as new mothers and new fathers."

^ yeah dat Sabbath line set the tone for all of heavy metal. Good call.

Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here

Thin Air

"love is free
in time, in peace
and now is here
this life, this dream..."

Melvins - Houdini: "Los Ticka Toe Rest!"

Refused - Worms Of The Senses / Faculties Of The Skull - "I've got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break"

Technically the first line on that record + song is " They told me that the classics never go out of style but they do."

Which is equally rocking.

Nirvana - In Utero
"Teenage angst has paid off well; now I'm bored and old"

Hybrid - Wide Angle
"Breathing shallow, I'm slipping away; Hanging in the gallows, I'm starting to pray"

Tool - Lateralus
"Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity"

Alice in Chains - Dirt
"I believe them bones are me; Some say we're born into the grave"

Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
"I am so all-American, I'll sell you suicide"
(think whatever you want of him, that motherfucker can write lyrics)
