Is the bit that was always used for the Grand Prix theme at the start of the track or only part way through. I think it was Fleetwood Mac, I've also a feeling it doesn't start the track so I'm spouting chuff, but it should and it would then deserve a place in this thread. Dum, dum dum dumm dummedy dumm, la la la .

muse- hysteria is a great shout. i like the intro to knights of cydonia too- sounds amazing live.

i'd add arcade fire- power out, arctic monkeys- view from the afternoon, beatles- helter skelter, take me out- franz ferdinand, or a bit of strokes with the modern age.

but numero uno has to be welcome to the jungle- GnR, or i wanna be adored.

That's 'The Chain' from the album 'Rumours'.

Although, that bit isn't the intro... ;D

It's not a rock song, but my favourite intro ever is Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing) by Benny Goodman.  Gotta love them drums and that brass, baby.

Day Tripper´s intro is the one I like the most, probably because it was the first ever riff I learned to play on guitar.

May be sacrilege to say this but the best version, and best intro, I've heard of Honky Tonk Women was done by Steve Marriott and Humble Pie, as a tribute to the Stones.

And another great Zeppelin intro - Misty Mountain Hop.
