Yikes!...only one other person picked a "DONG" intro (Smoke on the water).

The Who "Baba O'rielly"
The Smiths "How Soon is Now"
The The "Dogs of Lust"
10cc "I'm Not in Love"

Way cool choices!!! I haven't listened to 'The The' for ages!!

Too lazy to think too hard about it, but I'll toss in a rather pedestrian selection till I can come up with something appropriately esoteric:

Boston 'Cool The Engines" ...from 'Third Stage'

Heres another song with a great intro: "Tom Sawyer" by Rush!

 

[grumpy]

Here is a few more

Smokin in the boys room by Brownsville staion
The wizard by Black Sabbath
Jail Break by Thin Lizzy
Green grass and high tides by the Outlaws
The Distance by Cake
Hear my train a comin by Hendrix

and I love the Begining to Down with the sickness by Disturbed

How about Johnny Winter's "Riot in Cell Block # 9"

and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with the horns inventive for its time.

and "GhostsRiders in The Sky"

OK, Here's mine. Best means one and this one takes the cake:
Sorrow from Momentary Lapse of Reason. Especially at high volume. You can truly feel the emotion expressed. Not catchy, but very powerful.

Did anyone mention Paige's acoustic solo for Babe I'm Gonna Leave You ?
