This might not be the best one, but it's great, and it inspired this thread. I can remember the last time I saw them I kept saying please it please play it and they did, then did so perfectly.

    Well, if you're going Who, then obviously Baba O'Riley! Great example from Captain Powerchord.

    I've always loved how the opening to this song builds. Stones, Gimme Shelter

    After the discussion in another thread about Led Zeppelin plagiarism, I still think this one has a hell of an intro.

    Battery and Fight Fire With Fire are the best. It's no surprise they're album openers.

    They're my favorite classic rock band and it's my favorite off Moving Pictures. I get big chills when the Peart drums kick in with the slow build up.

    Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight,
    I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
    I am right by your side.

    How could you choose KSMH over Red Hot?

    Damage Inc. Metallica. The whole album has great intros really. Puppets, Orion, Battery, Welcome Home and Disposable Heroes.
