Best Intro To A Song

[lazyitus]

Stand By Me - Oasis.

Seriously, even if you dislike Oasis, try this one on volume 10 and listen to the start of this song.

Belter.

[gretchen]

The Cure - Lullaby and Close To Me

Lynard Skynard - Black Betty and Sweet Home Alabama

Jimmi Hendrix - All Along The Watch Tower

The Eagles - Hotel California

The Stranglers - Golden Brown

Echo and The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon


And Adamski - Killer

Dont fear the reaper -Blue Oyster Cult

Damn i forgot all about that one, it's one of my absolute favourites

[qube_TA]

What God Wants - Roger Waters.

[gretchen]

Soft Cell - Tainted Love...

Would suggesting Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, or Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds be cheating?

'voodoo child' by Jimi Hendrix. The intro just tells you, you are about to hear a master at work.

Your good, but....I bring you ...

Enter Sandman-Metallica
Paranoid -Black Sabbath
Dont fear the reaper -Blue Oyster Cult
She sells sanctuary -The Cult

Aldo Nove, Fantasy.

And as for his cousin Aldo Nova, well he's utterly brilliant

[Pigeon]

Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill
Barclay James Harvest featuring Les Holroyd - It's My Life
Alan Parsons Project - Sirius (technically a track in its own right, but in practical terms it's an intro to Eye in the Sky)

[pwig]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Stiltskin - Inside yet

[gretchen]

Stone Roses - Fools Gold

Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels (biased because it's my ring tone)

'Smoke on the Water' by Deep Purple

The ring tone on my phone, no less

That would be my choice too without doubt Mark. I didn't like to say though in case people thought I was obsessive.

Nothing wrong with that mate! Still doing the rounds on that TV ad. Here`s another intro- "One perfect sunrise" by Orbital.

Another good Dire Straits intro is Tunnel of Love

I prefer Woman From Tokyo myself... great intro with guitar, organ, then added hi-hat, bass drum, finally bass guitar, and then all-in... (actually quite similar to Smoke on The Water in that respect).

Led Zep, Rock'n'Roll, best cymbal intro to any song.

And agree with Won't Get Fooled Again. (Only saw the Who live twice this summer )

[gretchen]

Last ones...

The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

But, have to admit, not sure anything can beat the Metallica nominations or Jimmi Hendrix...

[CarlT]

Sympathy for the devil - Rolling Stones

[havoc]

Some good stuff there.

Hendrix and Deep Purple definitely get my vote.

One obscure one: Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry - cool/weird spoken intro by Gibby Haynes from the Butthole Surfers:
"Soon I discovered this rock thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil. Jesus was an architect, previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing that I could do: was ding-a-ding-dang my dang-a-long-ling-long."

...then launching straight into a maximum attack thrash-industrial mess. One of those intros that first time around you want to rewind and listen to it again, sod the song.

[gretchen]

I can't go without saying...Queen!

I Want to Break Free, Under Pressure, Another One Bites The Dust, in fact, most all of their intros...

Dire Straits or any Floyd intro would alos get my vote

[FrenchTVR]

Damage Inc. - Metallica

Highway to Hell - AC/DC

[Lizzy Dexic]

Carmen Burana - Carl Orff
