    what, no Blind Melon love?

    Gotta go with Hello Goodbye opening up Soup:

    I'm entering a frame bombarded by indecision
    Where a man like me can easily let the day get out of control
    Down this far in the quarter
    I'm pushed hard upon the border
    But, I'd rather be caught 'round now instead of oh, say, 'round the month of June
    But if I can leave with a little bit of explanation
    Then anywhere in the world I choose to go
    I'll have it made.

    This one immediately came to mind when I saw the thread title. Hard to top that.

    Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

    "Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
    For y'all have knocked her up.
    I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
    I was not offended
    For I knew I had to rise above it all
    Or drown in my own shit."

    ...cue one of the best guitar solos going

    Spirit of Radio

    Begin the day
    Wth a friendly voice,
    A companion, unobtrusive
    Plays the song that's so elusive
    And the magic music makes your morning mood.

    Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

    “I don't believe in an interventionist God. But I know, darling, that you do.”
    And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
    Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...

    Wait a minute baby,
    Stay with me awhile...
    Said you'd give me light
    But you never told me about the fire....

    Spend all your time waiting
    For that second chance,
    For a break that would make it okay ...

    "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I only want you to have some fun..." Then, of course, the actual first sung lines are amazing as well. (Prince - 1999)

    "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord..." (Phil Collins - Face Value)

    "Helllooooooooo babbbyyyyyyyyy!" (Van Halen - 5150)

    "Your butt is mine..." (Michael Jackson - Bad; it may seem silly out of context, but it just works wonderfully as the opening line)
