Think Gimme Shelter & Baba O'Riley are up there but Back in Black AC/DC does it for me!
Gotta be Pinball Wizard. Fantastic chord progression, growing feeling of of excitement anticipation, then the frenzied strumming after about 20 seconds, followed the legendary BOOM.
Extraordinary....

A little obtuse but two of my personal favourites are Jacket Hangs by The Blue Aeroplanes and Waiting for a Miracle by Comsat Angels (album version).

Ah, good call. Remember them starting a gig with this once. They all walked out, then stood stationary on the very edge of the stage, backs towards the audience. The riff started, Gerard leaned into the mike, held out a pack of cards, and then on "wrong" threw them all up over the audience. At the same time, the usual 47 guitarists/Polish dancers etc leapt into the air. Wicked.
