Best Song Intro


Just curious on what songs' intro really floats your boat. I got the idea today for this thread listening to my iPod when "It's A Long Way There" by The Little River Band started up. It starts out with some symphony, adds GREAT vocal harmonies, then cool rhythm guitar, followed by some cool electric riffs and chicken pickin' harmonics. Love it. And I'm not really a huge LRB fan.

So whatcha' all like?

Cheap Tricks' cover of "Ain't That A Shame" on Budokan!!!

"Stanglehold" by Tedly Von Nugent. That's some meaty guitar!
"Eight Miles High" by The Byrds. Chris Hillman's incredible bass licks, then Roger McGuinn on 12-string electric guitar, then perfect harmonies by the Byrds with the title line.

"Morning Dew" from the first Grateful Dead Warner Bros. album.

"Playing in the Band", Grateful Dead "Skull and Roses" album
