Song With Best Beginning

Baba O'Riley

Pete Townsend finally figures out an interesting way to use a synthesizer.

On a related note, there's also a whole subcategory of spoken intros. Some notable examples:

Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria" - "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine"
Kid Creole's cover of "Oh, What a Night" - "Hey Frankie, I had a night like that, too. Let me tell ya about it."
Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" - "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...."
