Best Song Intros

The awesome organ intro by Garth Hudson on "Chest Fever" by The Band is a favorite.

And what a great album in general is Music From Big Pink, just a fantastic work of art. :music:
 
'gimme shelter' - stones
'can't you hear me knocking' - stones
'wish you were here' - floyd
'welcome to the jungle' - guns
'the razors edge' - ac/dc
 
allow me to add:

"children of the sun" billy thorpe
"the confessor" joe walsh
"life's been good" joe walsh
"spinning wheel" blood, sweat, and tears (short, but powerful)
"sir duke" stevie wonder
"school" supertramp
"take the long way home" supertramp
"bloody well right" supertramp
"tinman" america
"brick house" commodores?
"band on the run" and "silly love songs" wings

plus too many early chicago tunes to mention

a couple of my favorites that have already been mentioned are:

"straight on" and "crazy on you" by heart

"foreplay-long time" boston

Some really great ones here, but the first one I thought of was the guitar licks opening on Joe Walsh - Turn To Stone

and there is another song on Joe Walsh's Barnstorm LP where he basically starts out screaming, then some great big guitar chords and ARP synth - Here We Go? Birdcall Morning? What a rush. :smoke:

and Joe's earlier material from the James Gang - Funk 49, Walk Away

Grateful Dead - Tennessee Jed
Jerry Garcia - It Must Have Been The Roses
 
Lou Reed Sweet Jane, Live version on Rock and Roll Animal.

I'll 2nd LaGrange by ZZ Top

and all the Joe Walsh suggestions already mentioned by SpeakerLabFan.

Regarding Joe Walsh, I thought that song where they started out screaming was from The Smoker you Drink the Player you get. I will have to go listen to find out.
 
U2 - Streets have no name
Aerosmith - Sweet emotion
The Who – Won’t get fooled again
Allman Brothers – Jessica
Joe Walsh – Meadows
Journey – Where were you live (from Captured)
 
Eddie Money – Trinidad
Steve Miller – Jet Airliner

Allman Brothers – Melissa (someone probably already mentioned this one)
Kid Rock – BAWITABAW
