What You Think is The Best Intro in a Song!

Okay, I think this is not done before.
What do you think is the coolest intro in a song according to you ?

So far (that I can remember), I have 2 :

- Lenny Kravitz - Are you Gonna Go My Way

- Dire Straits - Money for Nothing.

I think those two are a guarantee toe-tapping/head moving material there.

I always liked the piano intro to The Who's Love, Rain O'er Me found on Quadrophenia. Also the Stone's intro to You Can't Always Get What You Want always brings a smile to my face.

Good call on the Van Halen, I don't think I would have remembered or thought of that one. Another one of my favorites is also from Van Halen

Van Halen- Right Now
I absolutely love the piano and such

first line of the first track of Funkadelic's first album...

"If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions."
(sound familiar?)

"Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" from Funkadelic - Funkadelic

Metallica - Fade to Black, For Whom the Bell tolls, Master of Puppets, One

Iron Maiden - 666 the number of the beast - Love that opening guitar riff, I can play that riff all night, with a little flanger, Snake eyes in heaven... huge balls/chunk.

Queensryche - Queen of the reich, Empire... Marshall tone heaven

I think Pink Floyd has by far the best intro's ever. I love the intro in "Time", Echo's is good too.

Dream Theater's "The Great Debate" has a really interesting intro.

Overall, the intro to the Blues Brothers' show, "I Can't Turn You Loose" is the best intro ever. In itself it is an intro.
