Best intro to a song.

So many of Depeche Mode's songs but this one especially.

 

This, this, a thousand times this. The long version, not the radio version.

Second is the bass intro to Heart's "Crazy on You."

And high on the list was a song that I really didn't like in its entirety, from an artist I don't particularly care for. But the intro to Steve Winwood's "While You Get A Chance" is pretty awesome.

 

Instantly catapulted back to 1976, when this intro announced the arrival of a band that quickly rocketed to the top.

 

Mount Rushmore of Intros.


Underrated

Also like Sweet Home Alabama.

 

Locomotive Breath Jethro Tull

Funeral For A Friend Elton John

 

Do mean Nancy Wilson's long intro on acoustic guitar? Absolutely!

(this live clip has "Dreamboat Annie," then "Crazy on You" with the intro)

 

Nancy's acoustic opening was part of it. But it kicks in with the bass riff after that. At 3:05 in the video.

 

Does this count?

 

"Locomotive Breath" is a great call here.

 

Way back in hs, probably half the wrestling teams in my area warmed up to that. Hells Bells was real good also.

 

Dethklok: Go Into the Water:

.

Not for everyone, I'm sure, but I could listen to just that first minute or so on a loop all day long. Same goes for the song, actually.

Dethklok was the fictional band in the Adult Swim animated show Metalocalypse, except they have put out at least three albums.
