Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty - one of my guilty pleasures

Don't be guilty mate, I reckon Gerry Rafferty to be a very talented musician. I've got Night Owl and I think it's great.

As for intros - Get It Right Next Time from that album is a top one.

The Who - Baba o Riley

This is a bit self-indulgent (for a keyboard player), but still rather good:-

The pianist in me would argue a case for these....

Hearing either of them makes me want to open the lid of my piano and thrash a few tunes out....
