Okay...  I'll start.

My favorite intro is in "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns N' Roses.

My second favorite intro is in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

I really like "Bittersweet Symphony" by: The Verve. That intro's awesome. I'll post more as I think of them...

Yeah, that's a pretty good intro. Catchy.
I also like the intro to the Stereophonic's 'Dakota'... sounds like someone running

"For Those About To Rock" by AC/DC has a teriffic intro.

FM's "Phaser On the Stun" has a fantastic intro...

I also like Jefferson Starship's intro to "Jane"

I love the wolf like whistle sound in the intro to Ultrabeat's "Pretty Green Eyes".  It sounds even better in the CJ Stone Remix  8)

Momus' "Platinum" has a great intro.. it's people talking over metallic sounds.

BEST INTRO EVER... Cornelius "Thank You For The Music". If you ever can, listen to it.. it's hilarious.

"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC

"Baba O'Riley" by The Who

"Driver's Seat" by Sniff N' The Tears

"Cemetary Picnic (I'm pretty sure that's not the name, but now that I have "Cemetary Polka" stuck in my head, I can't think of it)" by Voltaire.


I believe it's "Graveyard Picnic", if I recall correctly.

More awesome intros:

I'm sure there's more, but from the top of my head. Most are from the 80's:

1999 - Prince (ominous voice saying he wants you to have some fun)
Old Time Rock & Roll - Bob Seger (two words: Risky Business) :D
Back in the USSR - The Beatles (name any other songs with an airplane intro!)
Heart of Rock & Roll - Huey Lewis (or one with a rising volume of a heartbeat)
You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi ("Shot through the heart" hooked me instantly)
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits ("I want my MTV" is classic!)
Dancing on the Ceiling - Lionel Richie (you can hear Lionel's spoken words if you listen close enough)
Sailing - Christopher Cross (sounds symphonic and almost sad)

Back in the USSR - The Beatles (name any other songs with an airplane intro!)


"Communist Daughter" By Neutral Milk Hotel.

Back in the USSR - The Beatles (name any other songs with an airplane intro!)
There is a helicopter in an intro for a Billy Joel song.

That is the one.

Just now on the radio, in celebrating the birthdays of John and Sean Lennon. The radio station played Beautiful Boy which has waves washing on the shore and chimes for the intro

Some of my favourite intros:

Behind the wheel - Depeche Mode
I feel you - Depeche Mode
She sells sanctuary - The Cult

Can't think of any more right now. :-\\

"Communist Daughter" By Neutral Milk Hotel.

Oops, my bad. ;D

Well, I guess "Back in the USSR" could still lay claim to fame as the only airplane intro with the little guitar riff sound before the song starts. ;)

Riff? Is that, like, one chord?

"Howling at the Moon (Sha-la-la-la)" by The Ramones







Definitely!! That is one of my favorites! ;)



Erin :)

"Haiti" by Arcade Fire.. I love that two-chord progression and the ocean sounds.

"M.C. Escher" by Momus.. I just really like it for some reason.

"Birthday Boy" by Ween.. and the exit to this song is really cool too.. you can hear the pain in Gene's voice.

I like the intro to "Telephone Call" by: Old Time Relijun, before he starts making those REALLY effed-up noises.  :o

I like the riff on Under Pressure- David Bowie and Queen

Yeah, those are some crazy ones.

You ever get to hear "Office Building"? That song's awesome.. it comes just before Telephone Call.

I figured out the tracklist to that album, Uterus & Fire, sort of tells a story.

Using a  1.Dagger
He Cut Off The  2. Archaeopteryx Claw
  3. Giant Boat
  4. Burning Head
  5. Khomuz
After setting fire to the  6. Office Building  (he actually specfically mentions burning down an office building in this song)
He gets his  7. Telephone Call
Then he's in  8. Jail
But gets freed by a huge  9. Earthquake


The last three tracks.. well, I don't know. But I especially like the 7,8, 9 thing.. it's really cool to listen to.
