O/T Best Intro to a song ever ....

[ss53]

White Riot.

 

[RUSTY_2_STANDS]

Get It On - Trex
Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols
Lay Your Hands On Me - Bon Jovi
The latter listen in front of a pair of decent speakers with good stereo imaging and at high volume.
Mind blowing!

 

[20togo]

two for me Baba O'Reilly -the Who but a clear winner

Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

 

[Sooty59]

Three come to mind:
Rock and Roll by Led Zepplin;
House of the Rising Sun by the Animals;
Roll over Beethoven by ELO.

Ha Ha I remember my dads ears pricking up when that came out (he didn't like pop music) as the opening 5th Symphony played, his look changed when the Chuck Berry guitar riffs kicked in

 

[RUSTY_2_STANDS]

two for me Baba O'Reilly -the Who but a clear winner

Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

Baba O' Reilly - great intro
I'll add Pinball Wizard and Love Reign O'er Me both by The Who

 

[Tower Power]

Papa was a rolling stone - The Temptations
Smoke on the water - Deep Purple

 

[CGP1]

The full intro to 747 Saxon.
Caught somewhere in time Maiden

 

[Toastrack]

Papa was a rolling stone - The Temptations

Seconded - an epic arrangement & production.

Just a few that come to mind...

I Want You Back – Jackson 5
Song 2 – Blur
Just Be Good To Me – SOS Band

Vertigo by U2 is pretty good.

Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones

Showing your age there mate

 

[Lala]

Muse - Plug in Baby

 

[Excalibur]

Maybe it's because I've had a couple, but currently listening to Wish You Were Here by Floyd and thought surely Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of the best intros of all time, but would welcome other suggestions

.... its the longest intro ... the lyrics don't start till about 7 mins ..

 

[Trammo]

Let's Work Together- Canned Heat
Up Around The Bend- Creedence Clearwater Revival
