Rock and Roll Music: What's the single most badass song intro?

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. That intro is absolutely ridiculous and very well-known. It's hard to beat in terms of how many people I know recognize it, even if they don't necessarily know which song it is (and I'll admit, I didn't know the name of the song for a long time). I've frequently heard it used as background music when people are trying to show something particularly hardcore or awesome.  From a musical standpoint, the heavy notes that rise and fall repeatedly generate a long of tension and contribute to the perception of "badass."
