The Beach Boys had some sensational intros to their songs: California Girls being my favourite.

I agree with Cochise and Alive.

Freedom Run - Kyuss and If Only - Kyuss/Queens of The Stone Age are two of my favorites, off the top of my head anyway...

Suppose I ought to mention "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple.

The Stones did great introductions.

I am strangely partial to the Beatles "Twist and Shout".

The Ramones every time...
gotta love those "One, two, three, fours...!"

The intro to Kick Out The Jams by MC5 is fuckin nuts:

"And now its time...

and now its time to....

KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!"

Heart Attack American - The Bronx

- Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving You"
- Sex Pistols "Holidays In The Sun"

Slayer - Cult - new one, but unbelievably powerful opening- Could Have Had South of Heaven, Seasons, or RB too from them.

Europe- The Final Countdown. An intro so fantastic it is my ringtone.

I also love Cryin' by Aerosmith.

mikeb58 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 17, 2006, 05:16:23 pm »

Plenty to choose from, but cos I'm obviously biased I'll go for Bolans simple but superb riff to open 20th Century Boy.

The whiff of patchouli oil hangs heavy over this thread...

How about Nick Cave screaming 'Hands up who wants to die!' at the start of Sonny's Burning by The Birthday Party? Not quite rock, but how about the swooning strings and twanging bass at the start of Glen Campbell's version of Wichita Lineman (which has the best line in music ever: 'I need you more than want you and i want you for all time.' Hope Jimmy Webb poured himself a large glass after writing that.)

the first 8 seconds of every single song that Minor Threat ever wrote.
