Found this song that Fatboy Slim's "Star 69" sampled, and even though the drum kicks are very similar, they sound much heavier in this version. (kind of makes sense considering Star 69 was once here before being moved down to 5)

Replaced links to most of the dead/unavailable ones except Violent Vocations and Omniscient Spine; also added a few links, removed note for Cake and Sodomy since the new link is for the studio version, and I disagree with the notion that the original version of Hadouken's Mic Check "cannot be classified", as many hip-hop and rap influenced songs have appeared on the scale ever since, so I tried to determine the placement of the original version.
