Best Song Intros/Openings - Blu-ray Forum

toef · 12-10-2008, 01:10 AM

I'm sure we all have them... A few (or a lot of) songs where we hear the opening few notes, and immediately want to turn the radio/iPod/computer volume up.

Some of mine (perhaps by coincidence a lot of these I'd consider among my favorite songs):

Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (the simple, but great, piano riff)

Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain (the song is just great from the opening cymbal crash onward)

Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered (it gives you some time to reach over to the volume control, before the groove sets in)

Queen - Under Pressure (another one of my favorite songs, but I have to be careful that I don't end up blasting Vanilla Ice)

Derek & The Dominoes - Layla (no explanation really required)

Beatles - In My Life (probably my favorite song...all I have to hear is the first half of a note, and I turn it up)

I'm sure I could come up with more, but that's at least a start.

What are yours?

The opening of Zero Wing will forever be the greatest intro ever.

Opening of Baba O'Reilly is haunting and amazing. With the organ than piano and finally, Keith Moon's entre on the drums.

Heart - Crazy On You

the best opening ever is 10,000 angels by edie brickell and new bohemians followed closely by now also by edie and the boys.

Welcome to the Jungle!

Also like many of the Beatle's intros... Day Tripper especially.

I'm more of a sucker for outros, something Guns N' Roses used to be the masters of. Best intro though has hands down gotta be Money by Pink Floyd.
