[Icy Gull]

Two short but instantly recognisable intros (well to me anyway)

Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone

The Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Women

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Shine on you crazy diamond.

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Take me out and I bet you look good on the dance floor were the last of the great intros.
Favourite ever is love will tear us apart, smells like teen spirit a close second. Disintegration by the cue had superb intros on every track.

 

[BBassic]

Beauty becomes funk. Perfect.

Glad there have been some shorter ones on here.

One of my favourites and to me instantly recognisable. Just a few guitar notes beautifully played - Man of the World by Fleetwood Mac

The rest of the song is pretty good, too.

Can't Stop by RHCP's is quite enjoyable.
Don't Look Back In To The Sun - Libertines

Both hardly THAT lengthy but always pleasing to hear them in full on the radio.

A minute of moody screeches and hollow synth drums, 30 second prologue, then the song starts proper.

I've yet to hear a better one than The Papa Was A Rolling Stone 12minute version intro
