I agree with especially Layla and Stay With Me, but for the Stones, I guess Satisfaction has a more unique and recognisable intro than JJF.

Jelle

- Brown Sugar - Stones
- Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
- Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
- Happy - Stones
- Layla - I can only agree with this one

GnR Sweet Child O Mine

Gimme Shelter
Smoke On The Water (live vers.)
Tumbling Dice
Welcome To The Jungle
Brown Sugar

...lots more

Damn! Lost a good bunch here by careless clickin'...

But sofar I could say Gimme Shelter has a fairly good intro.

..And among Purple, beside SOTW;
Lazy; Perfect Strangers; Fireball &
When A Blind Man Cries aint too bad either...

Substitute - The Who
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix

14 seconds of great guitars, the rest ain't bad either. a song that Big Star would have beeen well proud of.

Gotta throw in The Cult - Fire Woman

Gimme Shelter

Gimme Shelter's gotta be the best.

beach boys "California Girls" is a classic.

Whole lotta love -- Zep

Satisfaction-- Stones

Start me up - Stones

Jumpin Jack Flash - Stones

Brown Sugar--Stones

Tumblin Dice -- Stones

Baba Oreilly - Who

Something- Beatles

Like a Rolling Stone--Dylan

Don't like them personally but 'Money For Nothing' by Dire Straits is pretty catchy.

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

"Rock n Roll" -- Led Zeppelin

Many of Straits major hits has catchy intros...

DINAMIT's Tüz Van has a Straits-ish intro too.

Welcome To The Jungle is an awesome intro. You hear this song played at alot of sporting events in North America to get the crowd pumped up.
Several AC/DC tunes like Hells Bells, You Shook Me, Whole Lotta Rosie (especially live), etc. Also throw in a few VH like Ain't Talkin Bout Love, Panama, You Really Got Me.

what about sweet child of mine?

what about casino boogie?

GIMME SHELTER !!!!!!!!!!

Brussels, ? , Stade Roi Baudouin

Rocks Off.....The way Keith lures ya in then slits ya throat...OH YEAH



ROCKMAN

Great thread! I'd forgotten how important a superb intro can be in making an ordinary song into a classic.

1 California Girls: Beach Boys.
2 Substitute: The Who
3 Brown Sugar: Rolling Stones.
4 Start Me Up: Rolling Stones.
5 Waterloo Sunset: The Kinks.
6 Sweet Child of Mine: Guns & Roses.
7 Like A Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan.
8 The Boxer: Simon & Garfunkel.
9 Day Tripper: The Beatles.
10 Spirit in the Sky: Norman Greenbaum.

I should really have included Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds but didn't want to appear to be biased in any way.

1.Jumping Jack Flash
2.London Calling
3.Whole lotta love
3.Gimmie Shelter
4.Bulls on Parade

the four tops songs have really great intros like "baby I need your Loving" "Bernadette" "Reach Out, I'll be there" and "same Old song" .
