[Music] Best intros

[Stato]

Dull answer, but it's still Blue Monday.

 

[Hamilton]

I always lived JJ’s bass intro on this album track…

Astradyne by Ultravox - Possibly not quite in the spirit of the post, as this is an instrumental, but the first minute build in this always has me cranking up the volume - and quickly tweeking it down after that minute mark ...

 

[Flounce]

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Funeral for a friend, Elton John

On that very same album, I also love the intro' to 'Private Lives' (and the rest of the track, especially the instrumental riffing at the end).

 

[Super Steve Earle]

More Led Zep. That Jimmy Page bloke sure knew his craft.

 

[Flounce]

I’ll bugger off from this thread now, posting too much

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Magical!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

No it’s not the Hovis advert! - yes it’s quite short but when you know what follows is the greatest male soul voice ever it’s still a great intro in my book

Ah, that'll be this one, I recorded at Midge Ure's 70th birthday bash at the Royal Albert Hall...

[5Ways Gull]

Finest Worksong - REM. Best intro to a song, best opening 30 seconds of any album, which is one of my favourite albums!

From an era of "1,2,3,4" comes this little beauty

 

[BBassic]

I don't actually like Muse all that much but as a bass player who enjoys absolutely filthy basslines you can't get much better than this.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Cure - Endsong

 

[loz]

Still gets me.
