Best Song Intros

Van Halen had a bunch indeed! "I'll Wait" had a cool 80s intro.

How about the Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
 
Opening to "Fire On High" by ELO, from their "Face The Music" LP.

Ah yes, as noted by dr*audio: The thunderous Mellotron intro to "Watcher of the Skies" (Genesis), and I once heard it for real--omnipresent, it was in the hall.
 
Van Halen's cover of "You Really Got Me"


[edit] apparently the intro is actually a separate track called "Eruption"...
 
I've got to give it up for Boston's More Than a Feeling. Hearing that fade in almost defined an entire era for us growing up. :music:
 
Side one, track one of Armed Forces by Elvis Costello and the Attractions: Accidents Will Happen. It starts with Elvis singing: "I just don't know where to begin". For some reason, that always cracks me up!
 
Aqualung- Jethro Tull
Locomotive Breath- Jethro Tull
In the Beginning- Emerson Lake and Palmer
Stranglehold- Uncle Ted
Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd
