Favourite Song Intro..

Mine is anything with srings or brass. But the best has to be The Boo Radleys 'Find the Answer Within' superb!

A Certain Romance by the Arctic Monkeys. Goes on for ages, but it's a great tune.

Gimme Shelter by the Stones has a great intro, as does Pinball Wizzard by The Who.

 

First that came to my mind as well. Builds up amazingly.

It really does. The intro makes the song what it is. Starts of with an air of sinister about it and builds to a classic rock n roll song.

 

Don't write them like that any more.

Somethings Wrong - The Jesus and Marychain

Cracking Up - The Jesus and Marychain

 

Teardrops - Womack & Womack I became a dad 4 the first time and that was playing so the intro does it for me

Here's a few I like:

 

Talking Heads - Dream Operator

 

U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name

 

G'n'R - Sweet Child Of Mine

 

The Who - Baba O'Riley

 

 

Short and to the point intros can be pretty effective as well, so I'll also add:

 

Public Image Ltd - Public Image

 

The Stranglers - Duchess

Defo Gimme Shelter. They once did a video of it showing US helicopters strafing villages in Vietnam. I still get emo when I think about that.

She sells sanctuary-The Cult..absolute classic

 

Gimme shelter-Stones

 

Holiday in Cambodia -Dead Kennedys

 

All great intro's but if it's the Dead Kennedys then Police Truck must be a close 2nd

The bar has been raised pretty high with Gimme Shelter making it difficult to select another. Before seeing GS in the list, I was thinking Sympathy for the Devil. The Stones certainly had their moments with distinctive riffs...

 

Elsewhere, I like Hells Bells by AC/DC; Layla by Derek & the Dominoes; Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and Money for Nothing out of Dire Straits.

Cant quite make my mind up between..............

 

Guns n roses - Welcome to the jungle

 

Ac/dc - Thunderstruck :rock2:

Echo the views on Gimme Shelter.

 

Also Where the Streets Have No Name. Don't know if U2 still do the same when they play it live - but the darkness, red background lights then light up the full stadium as the song kicks in used to be absolutely magnificent.

 

I also think that New Order Regret has an absolutely brilliant intro.
