What song has the best intro

[AppleDumpling]

GREAT song. A true rock classic. But while it’s sometimes referred to as Teenage Wasteland, as a Who fan and purist, that drives me a little nuts. The name of the song is Baba O’Riley.

This one! An all around kick butt song

"Here Comes the Sun," The Beatles

A good intro is one where you know what the song is within two seconds. Like Every Breath You Take.

Barracuda.

Vacation.

I know I mentioned intros where you can recognize the song in 2 seconds, but then there are the slow burn intros.

Maybe Space Intro as the lead-in to Fly Like and Eagle by the Steve Miller Band.

Policy of Truth by Depeche Mode.

Mr Brightside by The Killers.

And there's this little known song by The Killers with a great slowly developing intro.

I know I mentioned intros where you can recognize the song in 2 seconds, but then there are the slow burn intros.

Mr Brightside by The Killers.

I agree about songs you can recognize in the first two seconds. Also, I read through this whole thread and Mr. Brightside was the only song I just had to listen to all the way through. Good pick!

Some from me:

Annie Lennox - Walking on Broken Glass

Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young
