Best Intro To A Song

[Kinky]

Now before I go shouting REPOST - it was over a year ago - so fair enough ..... www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=163731

However - I'd like to say that everyone has completely missed the greatest intro ever ...

Thin Lizzys Chinatown

[churchill dog] oh yes [/churchill dog]

Some great intros mentioned, but thought Rush's five minute intro on Xanadu worth a mention.

[petros]

Sweet Child of Mine Guns and roses. Brilliant

[crmcatee]

Best intro to a song is...




1,2,3,4.

Fair enough mate. I haven't been on here that long so missed the first round of this.

Let me change it to make things interesting:

Best Opening Line To A Song!

I shall open up with:

System Of A Down - Cigaro

Tell me you don't smirk when he sings that line!!!

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

up there with the best of 'em!!! (I would place it number 1 of the "most appropriately placed song in a film" list, with The Counting Crows at number 2 as she's coming up the escalator in Cruel Intentions, and number 3 the Blink 182 song in the original American Pie)

Sweet Child O'Mine has to be top 3 for sure...!?!?


Lazyitus; you know I'm a huge Oasis fan, but Stand by me I wouldn't rate as up there. A cracker I'll not deny, but not in the league of intros as some mentioned here, I would suggest.

Money for Nothing is good but a bit too long; 1min 32 seconds if I remember correctly...too much.

[planetdave]

Bloody useless you lot. There is only ONE intro






20th Century Boy

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 )

On both counts.

Neil - no worries at all - just taking the mick. I tend to remember stuff like that - but I've no idea what I did yesterday.

Although I'm not sure what there is to discuss as Chinatown by Thin Lizzy clearly has the best intro

[anonymous-user]

I've changed my mind, the new best intro is for the theme tune to the video game Metal Gear Solid. Some of you lot must have heard it

I have to disagree. The start of that song is awesome.

As is the start of "Don't go away".

Biased because I think its a top album and many don't. (Even though its the fastest selling album of all time - it sold 423,000 copies on the first day of release alone, moving 695,761 copies in the first week and over 1 million within two weeks.)

P.S - Did you get the 'package'?

[BERGS2]

no one has mentioned:

stevie wonder - superstition

cry of love - highway jones
(one for the hendrix and SRV fans...)

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

Many songs on 'Songs from the big chair' are spectacular with brilliant music from start to finish.

[mark r skinner]

Aztec Camera "Walk out to winter" 12inch version. The Icicle Works "Love is a wonderfull colour"

[Aero_saab]

U2 - With or without you, still haven't found & where the streets have no name.
All pure class...

[ferg]

Nutbush City Limits???

Don't disagree with you there. Flippin great album; it's gettin better man is such a fantastic 'wall of sound', and in fact listen to whole album all the way through quite a bit still

I remember when they released it, they did the BBC program the night before a did an acoustic version of Stand By Me on the steps (I forget where)...Liam, Noel, Alan White. That was pretty darn special and I still have it to this day on tape

(Yup, got the package perfectly thanks very much. Apologies didn't e-mail sooner not been at my work e-mail since I got it. Thanks again; I trust mine was ok)

Sorry everyone for the hijacks!

[betti's_wingman]

I'll throw in another I just thought of....

T-Rex - Get It On

[Xaero]

from my Collection I'd have to repeat what has already been said:

Guns and Roses: Sweet Child of Mine
Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child
Stone Roses: Fools Gold
and...
Prodigy: Breathe

[Andy_CTR]

Have to agree with Metallica 'battery'.

Also love:

Bob Marley 'No woman no cry' - The live version on the greatest hits album.
Paul Weller 'Sunflower' - Currently trying to learn to play this on the Guitar badly!!
Aerosmith 'Walk on water'
AC/DC 'Hell's Bells'
Small Faces 'Tin soldier'
Stone Roses 'Breaking into heaven' - Silliest intro ever that sort of sounds cool!
