I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard Light My Fire. For some reason, I have always liked the simple snare intro. I began thinking about other songs with drum or percussion intros. I have always also loved the snare/kick intro to Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone. It is iconic in my opinion. What other songs have similar intros?

Sympathy for the Devil

Others??

GOOMC

Marley Purt Drive (Bee Gees)

Take Five by Dave Brubeck (Joe Morello on drums)

Undercover Of The Night
Love Is Strong
If You Can't Rock Me
Ain't Too Proud To Beg
Feel On Baby
Flip The Switch

I don't consider that a song, but an instrumental, but I guess it's all just semantics.

True, without vocals is it really a song? Let's put an asterisk next to it!

Highwire

Almost hear you sigh

Going to a go go (live 82)

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

(in some way this song always reminds an American version of a type of Stones song).

Honky tonk women (is cowbell a percussion?)
