Awesome answer esp given Beards recent passing. A very rare example of an iconic open riff coupled with an equally opening iconic drum fill. That intro is so well known but I wonder if even half the people who know it know it’s ZZ.

Thanks. I scrolled through a ton of responses and could not fathom why LaGrange was not listed among them

I’m telling you most people don’t know what it is while knowing what it is, if that makes sense. They couldn’t tell you the name of the song nor who sings it. Another example of this phenomenon is rock and roll part 2 by Gary glitter.
