[Music] Best intros

[Milano]

I’m bored already……..

Rate your best music intro, the one that makes you reach for the volume dial or hit rewind

I’ll go first - AC/DC Hells Bells

 

[Official Old Man]

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[jackalbion]

Once that baseline kicks in ramp it up to full volume.

 

[Nitram]

On the back of the Springsteen night

 

[bhafc99]

 

[Flounce]

 

[Taybha]

Hang on

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

I’ve always loved Dire Straits Money For Nothing intro. Very simple but very effective.

Way way back in the day when I worked as a DJ in an Ibiza club, before the DJ became a star, this was the record I played at closing time. Fabulous memories for me. Those first few notes, wow!

The blasted Marks and Spencers adverts ruined this for me...annoyingly now I think of food when I hear this!

1 minute and 23 seconds before Percy starts singing.

And probably the most sampled Drum Intro in History?

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Skids - Of One Skin

 

[Peteinblack]

You beat me by 6 minutes! I actually prefer this track (and Kashmir) to Stairway to Heaven.

 

[Flounce]

Not an intro as the OP was asking for but this intro amuses me…

 

[Peteinblack]

 

[tedebear]

This is one of those intros from my youth that makes me nostalgic and gives me the chills...hugely recognisable for my generation in a land far away...

Won't Get Fooled again.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Funny enough I was only thinking about this as a thread yesterday morning. Random tracks were playing and this came on. From an era of Prefab Sprout and Wet Wet Wet this was literally music to my ears. I love the deliberately slow sort of off key sound.



Some others I like off the top of my head include both Porno and We Exist off Arcade Fire’s Reflektor album, Play For Today by The Cure and Southern Death Cults Fatman
