Greatest song intros

[TitusG]

I've been thinking about this all morning. What is the greatest intro of any song in your collection?

I narrowed it down to two in mine: Love spreads by the Stone Roses and Hysteria by Muse. I think Hysteria just edges it.

 

[John Duncan]

King of Sunset Town by Marillion.

 

[survivor]

I`ll have a proper think later but for now I shall name -

`Look Into The Future` by Journey.

Ceremony by New Order

She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult

The sound of a tube train pulling into the station and... "the distant echo.....". The Jam at their finest.

She Sells Santuary - The Cult (Has to be the long version. Builds up the anticipation)

Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria

Everlong - Foo Fighters

Best non-intro

The Wagon - Dinosaur Jnr. (Straight into the action, no meesing about)
