[Pupp]

Johnny Was... SLF, especially live as the crunchy guitar builds

[Vario-Rob]

The Pistols – God Save the Queen

Cracking intro, timeless and perhaps the intro to an entire genre and indeed generation.

[...Mole...]

Yes - Close to the Edge, a rather long intro but its amazing,
then theres the full song gives me goosebumps every time

[Whynot]

Superstiton - Stevie Wonder

[Alfahorn]

Breathe, Pink Floyds opening gambit on Darkside. It sends a chill down my spine!

Technically easy to play.

Getting the guitar sound right is another matter........

Heard that song today, quality

[mp3manager]

Propaganda - Duel (BitterSuite Mix)

If you're certain age and used to listen to the Top 40 on a Sunday night, Annie Nightingale always played this mix as the opener to her show. It was the perfect song for her to beat the intro vocal when she said 'Hi!'

Whiskey In The Jar was Eric Bell. Otherwise Gary's work with Lizzy was - as you say - awesome; Black Rose for me being the highlight.
