    Peace

    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.

    Wire has the best intro of anything off Unforgettable Fire. Love that Edge riff intro.

    A song about addiction, probably Daves own addiction especially in that second paragraph speaking in the third person.....


    I heard somebody fixed today
    There was no last goodbyes to say
    His will to live ran out
    I heard somebody turned to dust

    Looking back at what he left
    A list of plans and photographs
    Songs that never will be sung
    These are the thinge he won't get done

    I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
    I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
    The fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
    I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man

    Just one shot to say goodbye
    One last taste to mourn and cry
    Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
    Just one shot to do him in

    He hangs his head and wonders why
    Why the monkey only lies
    But pay the pauper, he did choose
    He hing his head inside the noose

    I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man
    I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
    They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
    I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand
    Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
    I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand

    Probably one of the most recognizable intros in rock....very simple hands and feet movement.....

    One of the few pieces of music, along with Beethoven's 9th Symphony, that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I think the best intro I've ever heard is the Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar."

    My favorite David Bowie song:

    The Cars had a lot of great intros:

    And, like, apparently, absolutely nobody else on here, I am a huge fan of The Church. Their songs tend to open with a slow build-up or a layered feel:

    Hmm. Actually, now that I think about it, this is one of my favorite intros -- to a song and to an album. It's simple and absolutely gorgeous.

    He's opening for Glen Hansard at a number of shows on Glen's fall tour, and I can't wait to finally see him play solo.
