Straight off the top of my head, in no particular order:

Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK"
Only Ones "Another Girl, Another Planet"
Magazine "Shot by Both Sides"
Undertones "Teenage Kicks"

These all send shivers of anticipation up and down my spine!!

Guns and Roses - 'You should be mine!' absolutely amazing.

Dire Straits - 'Money for Nothing' air guitar spectacular!

Michael Jackson - 'Billie Jean' hypnotic beat.

Erm...but that's not an intro, it's from the middle of the song! Sorry, came over all T020 there....;)

While I'm here, how about:
Walking on the Moon - The Police
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

:thumbsup:

Fantomas,

You're quite right - it is from the middle.

But I won't tell anyone if you won't...;)

I'd forgotten some of the Guns and Roses intros - excellent!
