those few seconds where a song pulls you in...
should be short and have a clear beginning and end

anything better than...

SuyvT8nFMLY

maybe the runner ups...
love the Zeppelin riff because they keep building on it
the Motley Crue because of the simplicity

I don't have much patience for Casablancas' attitude or affectations, but I think his vocals are fine for the style of band they are.
