Great song starts or musical openings

[CaptainCrunch]

Autograph- turn up the radio has a really good instrumental opening. Its no Van Halen's Intruder, but it was cool and had a great build up. Then I watched the video and unfortunately all the sci fiction sound effects in the video actually ruined the opener

The intro so nice they do it twice (@ 6:30)

I've always loved the intro to Eye in the Sky (Sirius)... and so have the Chicago Bulls.

When I played tackle football down in Texas when I went to school, we'd have this blasting over the stadium speakers when we came out for our warmups.

I can't think of a song intro that has caused me to air drum more than this.

i heard this yesterday - wow... what a song! ...and it's called "sea of red". i wonder what battle(s) were the inspiration or if it's just a reflection on the cost of war in general.


the opening guitar is so good!

"Time" by Pink Floyd has one of the most badass openings of any song. It's so perfect, much like the rest of that album.

The first minute or so of ‘Can’t you hear me knocking’ by the Stones is absolutely incredible. Keith’s filthy guitar sound on that track is one of the best things ever recorded.

Headfirst for Halos from My Chemical Romance has a good one...







And for something rather different, Also Sprach Zarathustra also (heh) has a great opening... you might recognize it.
