Best song intro of all time

[JackK0 10]

Marillion - Kayleigh

 

Asia - Only Time Will Tell

 

Hall & Oates - Out of Touch

[milquetoast1 10]

The intro to this track always made the hair on the back of my neck stand up:

 

 

But only on the original LP version. They ruined the intro on

.

[stpetre 12]

my TWO all time favourite intros are

 

The Who - Pinball wizard

Rolling Stones - Paint it black

 

The Who- 'I Can See For Miles'.

Awful music, how he got the name "the boss" i'll never know, if he worked for me he'd be the tea lad.

 

And he can't sing either !

The Spinners- 'It's a Shame'

10cc -'I'm Not in Love'.

The Ronettes_ 'Be My Baby' and 'Do I Love You'.

I can't listen to that original Layla with Derek and the dominos now.

Get the album, they only made one. Derek and the Dominoes Layla and assorted love songs. A lot of great tracks. The late Duane Allman was probably better than Clapton on guitar at that point in time. Bell Bottom Blues is the best song on the album , in my opinion, and that includes Layla.

Anybody mentioned A Hard Day's Night yet ? LOL Every Tom, Dick and Harry has tried to figure out that one stroke of the guitar of George Harrison's, that starts the song, but George never let on.

Oh I don't know about that, there is so much more other music I like too, but thanks for the suggestion.

Not the best song intro of all time, perhaps, but one of my favourites for 46 years.

 

Jingo — Santana [from 0.05].

 

Scant on lyrics, so perhaps the whole track is an intro — but with a baby-faced Carlos to boot.

This band (Mighty Mighty) always had great song intros:

Not the greatest ever but they always put the effort in

[Shef1985 10]

Baba O'Riley

 

Don't Stop Believin'

 

Gimme Shelter

 

Like a Rolling Stone

 

How Soon is Now?

 

Great question, I could list loads.

Love the piano intro on Bruce Hornsby's The Way it is

I'd forgotten about that one, and I love it all the way through.

Among all these good choices, such as the great timeless classics that include Baker Street, Hotel California etc, as well as the lesser known ones contributed.

I really think this deserves a mention.
