Otta Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Perhaps the Squeeze one is Up the junction?Sweet Child O Mine, for classic guitar riff.Jenny was a friend of mine - Killers, is a fantastic opening to an album, powerful and intense.

maxxi Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Two obvious ones that are missing:1. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep (Perhaps the best known rock intro of all for anyone of the TOTP generation)2. Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple (Particularly when the bass riff kicks in)ETA : propper spwe3lling Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18713-best-intro-in-music-history/page/2/#findComment-459463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonaloochieB Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople - perfect build up to a class vocal - the coda's not too shabby neither.Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground - the guitar fiddling then the loping crunch of the opening chords - Mott The Hoople's version's not too shabby neither.Layla - Derek & The Domonos - 39 notes takes you into a heart rending vocal, someone mentioned Bell Bottomed Blues earlier, that was the B-side of the single and was utterly perfect.Once Bitten Twice Shy - Ian Hunter - the single opened with a wide-mouthed 'Allo' followed by a lazy Chuck Berryish guitar intro - then there's the introduction to the song by Hunter, the guitar riff soothing you along - then - drum roll - THEN - Mick Ronson smashes in with that thing he used to do with his guitar and it takes off and up and it don't stop until it ain't got nowhere else to go. Casual genius. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18713-best-intro-in-music-history/page/2/#findComment-459767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyTaTa Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 But the lyrics to Papa Was a Rolling Stone... surely the best intro lyrics ever.

Jah Lush Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Keith Richards is the absolute king of the intro. Check for the Rolling Stones' Jumping Jack Flash the way the opening chords draw you into the song straight away. Pure genius. Then there's Brown Sugar, Get Off My Cloud, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Satisfaction etc etc. I could list more but we'd be here all day.

Otta Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nice energetic one from my youth. Very good album opener.And another good drum intro would be Mr Brownstone by GNR.
