Great choice! What an intro!

"Vagabonds" has a great intro.

"Pretty Vacant" is quite high up there for me. Simple, effective, full of attitude. Gives you enough time to finish your pint and get on the dance floor.

I know I've been absent but this thread was brought to my attention from a group of boyscouts who knew there were unqualified but well meaning people spreading misinformatin here; and I've been asked by batman himself to correct this.
It takes one second only for anyone to listen to the first 3 seconds of 'All along The Watchtower' - the Hendrix version.
We can close this thread now
hahahah oh I'm sorry boys and girls please forgive me - i've been working at Discogs too long and i've forgotten how to be nice :)
Not seen you fer ages - my vote goes on the Hendrix version of the Bobby Dylan tune ( and hey fact fans while were here can I just say what a great piece of writing this is (the Dylan lyric - not my post)- doesn't make sense at all then if you shift the third verse to the top and read third verse as first, first as second and second as third it all makes perfect sense! Dylan = not bad at all)
Anyway - best intro ever is ker chu knu ger ger knu ger etc - all Along The watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Got to say J.J.Burnel's opening bass riff on "No More Heroes" by the Stranglers.

This is a nice idea for a thread, Anna!

There are are so many but where to start? Well, I'll go now with Mr. Barry Adamson and his album Soul Murder. There's an intro called "Preface" that leads to "Split". Here's Preface:

If we're talking long intros, how about this;

Love and Rockets - Body and Soul  (7 mins and 48 seconds of intro !)

Some extraordinary screams from Dug Pinnick before the song proper kicks in at 2:45

Not especially long, but if you are -like me- in love with Les' bass, you will like this:

Surely this is one of the best and most recognizable intros ever. One of the first songs I fell in love with as a young lad , still rocks today
