best song intros

[fade to black2]

+1 for sweet child of mine.

also marvin gaye- lets get it on

I'll up you one - Marvin Gaye "Just to keep you satisfied"

Bloodstone - "Natural High"...probably the best/most romantic song ever made. The way Tarantino incorporated it into Jackie Brown is priceless.

Little Wing: Jimi Hendrix

Walk On By: Issac Hayes

Cliffs Of Dover: Eric Johnson

I Forgot To Be Your Lover: William Bell

How did you come up with the 12 second rule? Some of the epics from the 70s have crazy intros that would be automatically disqualified. Just look at The Who -- Baba O Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again. I think the all time best intro is the acoustic version of Hotel California during the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over reunion concert.

[poly800rock]

for the twentysomethings

soundgarden - rusty cage

[scoon0224]

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Green Day - Longview

Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

and Muse - Darkshines (just hearing that makes my heart pound...)

[poly800rock]

the la's - there she goes

new order - ceremony

my bloody valentine - what you want

jesus and mary chain - just like honey

more later

the 12 second thing was off the top of my head, thinking of the modern 3minute poop record.

but total agreement on the acoustic version of hotel califonia. that intro is EPIC, and not too bad to listen to as well

[andrewfuncrew]

orchid - epilogue of a car crash

[wEstSidE]

intro to life's a bitch - "wassup wassup let's count this money ya know what i'm sayin?

put the grants in the safe cause we spendin the jacksons. the washingtons go to wifey you know how that go."

"i'm sayin that's what this is all about right? clothes bank rolls and hos ya know what i'm sayin? and then what?

also chicane's "autumn tactics [thrillseekers mix]" is explosive right off the bat.

[poly800rock]

orchid - epilogue of a car crash

isn't 12 sec the entire song?

i'll see your epilogue of a car crash and raise you "and the cat turned to smoke"

[lil brown brother]

baba o reily....

[mizanation]

easy lover - phil collins and philip bailey. that shit is hard as fuckin' hell.

[ordo]

my bloody valentine - what you want

Poly man, I love your shit.

Screw that 12 second rule. The best intro ever, is "Leave Them All Behind" by Ride, and maybe "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" by the Clash, or "The Eton Rifles" by the Jam.

i was going to put white man in hammersmith palais on that list too...ha.

also would put

Ride - twisterella

the smiths - this charming man

[alterion]

blocparty have amazing intro's generally, one of thier best points. I love how the new album starts

Acoustic Ladyland- Trail of Bones : now thats an intro

[mizanation]

from the jazz world:

"my favorite things" - john coltrane quartet

"someday my prince will come" - miles davis quintet (the long version where miles curses out bassist paul chambers for playing the wrong shit and tells him to do it over)

from the classical world:

beethoven's 5th symphony

[junglejane]

Green Day - Longview

seconded all the way.

Pink Floyd - Money

Babyshambles - killamangiro

for those interested in int'l music you MUST listen to the intro of Vasco Rossi's 'Albachiara'. lovely lovely lovely.

[superdupersang]

the theme tune of the godfather

when it hits that minor key. beautiful

[chromesquared]

JunglesJ's Pink Floyd rec just made me think about how I used to love the intro for "one of these days"; the bass killed me.
