What are your favorite song intros?

[KSav]

Here are a few that really stand out to me. Starting with a Beatles song, of course. I'm sure you're all shocked.

(I'm thinking of all types of music, not just pop/rock.)

I love the a capella vocals that begin these two:

And the instrumental intro to this:

 

[MountainRa]

Theme song from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

 

[Gem]

Billie Jean

 

[Gem]

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

 

[David777]

Listen to these Classic Rock pure instrumental intros with a good speaker system or headphones:

Steve Miller Band

Led Zeppelin

Vanilla Fudge

Rolling Stones (If this intro doesn't get you up on your feet, your either in a wheel chair, asleep, or dead.)

Or a Classic Rock intro with vocals so clear its like being in an vast echo chamber.

Supertramp "Long Way Home" love that harmonica

All Mark's intro are amazing. My favorite is Sultans of Swing, although Money for Nothing is right there with it.

 

[Deya]

Brown Eyed Girl is one that sticks in my mind.

 

[Deya]

Poncho and Leftie

Then there is Chuck Berry that had amazing intros that are imbedded in my mind forever.
