A few off the top of my head, although some have already been mentioned:

The Who - Baba O'Riley
Velvet Underground - Heroin
Pixies - Debaser
Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster
The Clash - White Riot
The Clash - Straight to Hell (also MIA - Paper Planes)
The Cribs - Mens Needs
Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot
Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets

I'll probably be back soon with about 100 more.

The Hellion/Electric Eye- Judas Priest, from the Screaming For Vengeance album
It is even featured in a Chevy car commercial now. The band opened many shows with this as well!
