Genesis - piano intro to Firth of Fifth
Tony Bank work is incredible & emotional |
Also, how about "Crazy" by Willie or Patsy? |
Counting Crows "Mr. Jones" |
Hey Y'all,
How about the opening chords of "You really got me" by Van Halen. That guitar always gets my blood pumping.......John |
good vibrations; the beach boys |
Pink Floyd "Wish you were here" for acoustic guitar
Pink Floyd "Money" for bass
Led Zeppelin "Heartbreaker" Electric guitar |
"Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss ME" by the Cure |
Hotel California either version (original from 1976 or Hell Freezes Over from 1994)- Anticipation followed by rush of Adrenalin.
Smoke on the water - Deep Purple |
Speakin of ZEP how about "in the light" on Physical
Graffiti... That one always got my attention. Or how
Rush 2112 intro is pretty good too.
4yanx, did you get the pics? |
"When the Levee Breaks" has always been a favorite. |
Good choices, haven't heard most of em' for quite a while. Lou Reed/Sweet Jane (R&R Animal), Mountain/Mississippi Queen, Urge Overkill/Sister Havanna, Alice Cooper/18, Zappa/I Am The Slime, and a couple of the segue/intros on The Pixies Trompe le Monde recording work pretty good. |
"We're An American Band" by Grand Funk - that'll get you playing air-drums every time. |
I forgot to mention the intros to "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple, "China Grove" by The Doobie Brothers, & "The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzie. Insant song identifiers all.
Showing my age,

If we are talking rock:
Queen "Fat Bottom Girls", "Another One Bites the Dust", "Under Pressure", "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions"
David Bowie: "Space Oddity" Probably any song off of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I love this album so much, I named one of my dogs Ziggy.
Pink Floyd: "Money", "Dogs of War", "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", and others that are too numerous to name...
Jimi Hendrix: Nearly any song he ever did.
Chess: "One Night in Bangkok" It is off of the musical Chess. Extremely clever lyrics with a beat that is so right and enticing. I love this entire musical.
Dave's True Story: "Trollop" Any song that starts with vocals about famous authors and literary works, I cannot turn away from.

"over the Hills and Far Away" - Led Zeppelin
When I first heard this I thought "this is great! Really new!" Unfortunately (to me) the song is not developed but collapses into some kind of rompin' stompin'.
"Pick up on my Mojo" - Johnny Winter
Don't get your steak to close unless you like it well done...
"Crossroads" - Cream
Very compelling (What was this Clapton kid eating?)
|
How about the Joe Walsh intro to "Funk #49" by the James Gang? I know it gets my attention. :-) |
A couple of well-known song intros that I'll probably always listen to when they come on the radio, even if I often switch away from the songs themselves 'cause you hear 'em so much: "Honky Tonk Women", "Sweet Emotion". |
"Enter Sandman" by Metallica |
The intro to Gasoline Alley from Rod Stewart. |
The first song on Kid A by Radiohead, a real grabber. |
I've always liked the intro to Fleetwood Mac's "Hypnotized" from the album Mystery To Me. |
Otis Rush. I really like the intros he plays on guitar. Any Place I'm Going has numerous examples of this. |
