No votes for Janis Joplin, then?

Seems the obvious choice

Of course anything by Santana, Parisienne Walkways and Hotel California have truly iconic intros (especially the latter in the Eagles acoustic Hell Freezes Over tour version), but let's not forget another couple of classics:

Clapton's Leyla [YOUTUBE]fX5USg8_1gA[/YOUTUBE]

Cocker's With a Little Help From My Friends [YOUTUBE]qzDLZa01bYU[/YOUTUBE]

But for an intro that always makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle (as do the song lyrics), how about this from P!nk? (sorry, I can only find the audio on YouTube) [YOUTUBE]TkXPbx__HtE[/YOUTUBE]

Only one intro is perfect in every possible way (IMHO, obviously)

The Wombats - Moving to New York.

Every instrument comes in at exactly the right time and adds to the excitement, rather than taking away from it..

The rest of the song's not bad either!

God, I detested the music of the era. Punk was just the pits. But this. Superb intro. Unbelievable energy in a song like nothing else...

Sorry mate - it wasn't a dig.

More you had hit on that exact song!

I know some companies block the use of EVERYTHING - I don't because I think it is backwards...

No offence taken

 

[jotter22]

Just thought of another not sure when the intro finishes but what a tune!

+1 for Layla

Also Joe Cocker 'with a little help from my friends' particularly the live version from the 2002 Party at the Palace.

Groovy jazz with a reggae beat.
