Best ever song intros

[The perfect fumble]

 

[markprendy]

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

 

[ctidcarl]

And this version in particular -

 

[TueartsOHK]

Apologies for yet another Rush but I’ve always loved Spirit of Radio as an intro

 

[There is a Light]

Not everyone’s cup of tea I know, but I love the intro to Breaking into Heaven. Five years away and the intro is four and a half minutes of mad jungle noises (I remember someone at the time comparing it to something from Apocalypse Now). Talk about a way to tease and build up expectations, until Reni’s drums and Squires guitars properly kick in. “I’ve been casing your joint for the best years of my life” as well, what a first line. Unreal and a criminally underrated album IMO

 

[City Hobgoblin]

 

[Stoned Rose]

Thread gets patted on the head.

How about this for a good intro/outro combination
