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.

Free- All Right Now.

 

Seven Seas of Rhye by Queen; I remember reading that someone told them their songs took a while to get going (this was very early days) so they went to town on the intro to Seven Seas.

Your reference to Queen has reminded me of another intro to a great classic!

Queen & David Bowie- Under Pressure.

The first thirty seconds of

. Not the best of all time, but one of my favourites.

Another I've thought of - Coldplay-Clocks.

The Beatles were good at intro's. You listen to pretty much any Beatles song and it has a good intro, because they understood that a good intro gets immediate attention and hooks people in.

Very difficult to say what the best intro of all time is, there has been some good intro's

from the 60's era, 70's.

 

The best for me in the 60's era was The Shadows Apache.

The best for me in the 70's era was Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream...... followed very

closely by The Faith Healer by Alex Harvey and Get Back by the Beatles.

Anyone who who bigs up SAHB deserves a plaudit. Excellent band.
