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?

not that I am a Journey fan... but I always like the beginning to 'Don't Stop Believing' it is quite good, especially relative to the rest of the songs the band has recorded...

Just off the top of my head:

Linkin Park "In the End"
U2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
Metallica "Unforgiven"
Enya "Sail Away"
Simon and Garfunkel "Scarborough Fair"

None of them have very long intros, but I find them each unique and captivating in a different way.
