PIGS - Pink Floyd
Heartbreaker - Stones
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepp

Beatles - Nowhere Man (open with perfect harmony vocals)

Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same (like a horse racing down a track)

Jimi Hendrix - EZ Rider (perfection)

Funk #49..........My Ringtone.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

Ain't Talkin' About Love - Eddie Van Halen.

That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd

2 pages and no one has mentioned Honky Tonk Woman yet - great intro to a great song, even though it's not my personal favourite.

Otherwise it's got to be Rocks Off, and of course that deceptively gentle, mesmerising start to Gimme Shelter.

Oh yea, Start Me Up is great. Well, it is true that Start Me Up, Happy, Brown Sugar, Street Fighting Man and others have intros based on pretty much the same pattern - but they are sooo cool! And of course - Honky Tonk Woman is another great intro - very inovative at the time it was written - let's not forget that all those songs were not allways warhorses, they used to be very very inovative.

My Sharona
Hey Hey We're the Monkees
HELP! (Beatles)
Satisfaction
Get offa my cloud
Summer Song (Satriani)

Smoke on the Water
Honky Tonk Women
Sweet Child O'Mine

smoke on the water , give me bloody strength, no question in my mind

god save the queen & anarchy - Pistols
ever fallen in love - buzzcocks

nothin else counts

can you hear me knocking / visions of paradise / satisfaction / dancing in the starlight / angie / street fightin' man / jumpin' jack flash / honky tonk woman / start me up / Mrs robinson.

The Unrepentant, Steve Earle and The Dukes
Bad Luck, Social Distortion
Johnny Hit and Run Pauline, X
Midnight Rambler, Stones

Lots of great intros already covered ... I'd throw in Crazy Train by Randy Rhodes, All The Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople, Pride and Joy by SRV, I'd Love to Change the World by Ten Years After.
