What's your favourite song intro....

[B17NNS]

Layla - Clapton

[Steamer]

A slightly more chilled out intro - but still never fails to hit the spot:

My Hero : Foo Fighters

I love the live version of that song - the versions I've heard have been acoustic for about a minute before they go mental.

[Ferg]

Babylon's Burning - Ruts
Roxette - Feelgood
Another Girl, Another Planet - Only Ones

[Kinky]

Chinatown by Thin Lizzy

[Invisible man]

Gimme Shelter by the Stones

[CobolMan]

Some cracking tracks mentioned so far folks

For me it's a toss-up between Heatseeker (AC/DC) and Go Buddy Go (The Stranglers)

[greengreenwood7]

how's about:
'dc - back in black
kiss - - great expectations from Symphony Alive IV.
elo - roll over beethoven
quo - down down - live version
pistols - pretty vacant
darude - sandstorm

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast and Run To the Hills from the Live After Death album

Come to think of it, heavy metal bands seemed to be pretty good at intros.

Also another vote for Money For Nothing.

Jon Lord’s intro to Lazy on Deep Purple’s Made In Japan album.

A thousand times yes!

And - for me - snapping at Jon's heels is this version of "For The Love Of God" live in 1996 (0:00 to 1:39)

Other great intros IMHO:

"Black Sabbath"
"Hangar 18"
Greig's Piano Concerto in Am (1st movement)
"Phantom of the Opera" (Iron Maiden)
"Hail! Hail!" (Pearl Jam)
