Best song intros
Comments
-
I like the above Rammstein, AC/DC and Stones suggestions (and I would also include the Stones' 'the last time').
But not sure what to make of the criteria. I want to suggest
'river deep mountain high – ike & tina turner'
but its intro is only 4 secs long, so hardly any intro at all.
And there are several with 30-60 secs intro which are perhaps (too easily) ruled out, like someone above mentioned,' baba o'reilly (who)', but also 'money for nothing (dire straits)', 'stand back (rod stewart version)', and 'the 39 steps (brian ferry)'.
Anyway some others:
johnny b goode - chuck berry
sharp dressed man - zz top
baby please don't go – them
don't leave me this way – bronski beat
addicted to love – robert palmer
the winner takes it all – abba (yes I know a slow start)
alone again or - love
cry to me – solomon burke
one night in bangkok – murray head (not a fan of the song but always thought the intro imaginative)
and since the Giro is on just now, one from Italy (from the days when Saronni and Moser competed for the Maglia Rosa)
gloria – umberto tozzi

Is there an intro to Planet of Sound? Maybe a second of feedback.
Bone Machine, yes. Something against you, yes. Debaser, yes. I bleed, yes. Dead, yes. Here comes your man, yes. Where is my mind... yes.
By the way, I only recently discovered the Live from Malibu Nightclub album. It's brilliant.
