    I remember feeling so much anticipation for this band's debut. And then started listening to the first track and had that feeling build even more!

    No Shelter- RATM

    Don't see how anyone likes that U2 song? Though I like The Edge's guitar playing I think he has better intros for other songs, no? One I thought was really cool, even With or Without you.

    Nine Inch Nails have a bunch of great intros.

    Alice in Chains Rooster has a slow intro that haunts me every time I hear it.

    This song has probably one of THE best synth intros in rock music that most have never heard before. Once back in 1894 I was sitting in a car (after several herbal influences) I had this song turned really loud prepping for my very first RUSH concert GUP. The opening honking horns came on and I kept wondering who the hell is honking at me in a parked car. I had to laugh at myself only realizing that it was this damn song which is 1-2 with LVStrangiato as my #1 RUSH song.

    .........The buildings are lost
    In their limitless rise
    My feet catch the pulse
    And the purposeful stride

    I feel the sense of possibilities
    I feel the wrench of hard realities
    The focus is sharp in the city..........

    In NYC one had better stride with a sense of purpose or one may get the reality of being trampled over.

    Peace

    Think back to the first time you heard that "Corduroy" intro on Vitalogy. Stuff of epic proportions.

    For some reason I can't explain, Bang Tango's song Sweet Little Razor always comes to mind when the topic is intros. I have often pictured this song as an intro for a hockey team...the players skate in on the ice with flashing lights and at 0:45 the arena lights goes on with a bang together with fire, explosions and shit...

    That riff that kicks in at the 0.21 mark if fucking gold! They always play it too fast live though, kind of kills the groove...
