Best Intro Ever

[footy55]

What do you guys think the best intro over is?

Can be from any era any genre ......

 

[Upgrayedd]

Falling Snow-Agalloch
i love it

 

[AxelFoley]

Battery - Metallica

 

[Roddy]

Song intro?

Without any shadow of a doubt, Rush's 'The Spirit of Radio'. Musically untouchable, incredibly entertaining and sounds as good today as it did in 1980.. Musicianship, writing and execution of the highest possible order...

 

[BomberGal]

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Hysteria - Muse (at least, it's a kick ass bass line.)

Probably not the best, but two of my favourites.

 

[Rowie09]

Thunderstruck - ACDC
American Pie - Don McLean
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
for me.

 

[pafc4life]

estradasphere - buck fever

 

[SunKing]

The piano intro to Wuthering Heights..sublime.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Gang Control-Leftover crack

[Carlos]

Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" changed my life. That drum groove and sound turned me into a fully fledged LZ nut!

But for all round brilliance, Porcupine Tree's "Blackest Eyes" takes a lot of beating.

Peace Sells has a good opeining bass line
New Born is good
Pretty much all Slayer songs
Baba O Reilly- The Who
The Grude- Tool
Voodoo Chile and All Along the Watchtower by have cracking intros
The Ocean by Led Zep "We've done four already but now we're steady and then they went 1,2,3,4!"

Kickstart my Heart- Motley Crue
Lots of Pumpkins songs have good intros, Today, Zero, BWBW etc..
