..sigh.. Like a moth to a flame.....
The Doobie Brothers have been mentioned previously, they put forth a ton of great music.
They got a lot of play on my many drives between CT & Ft Meade.
A couple of my choices for best intros:
This one got a lot of play - Without You - probably one of their 'harder' sounding tunes.

Sweet Maxine

Robin Trower's "I'm Out to Get You":

My contribution for a Robin Trower intro/tune
Too Rolling Stoned

 

[Bigboote]

The Moodies always had good intros for the first tracks on their albums. This is a pretty short one, followed by one of my favorite songs of theirs:

 

[Bigboote]

More English early prog, a song that‘s so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes sometimes. (Robin Trower’s first band, although he lays out on this cut.)

 

[Bigboote]

Let’s go for a trifecta of English prog, this one a few years later. I love the combination of xylophone, Moog, and guitar in the intro.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I've always loved this intro to this slow song.

Sticking with Mandrill

A couple with intros that are a bit more recognizable:
ZZ Top - Legs

 

[64Zcode]

Foghat - Slow Ride

 

[64Zcode]

BOC (More cowbell?)

 

[KennyD]

Love cash money!!!

[TerpWomenFan]

Nice intro from a real oldie.

Can't agree more BB- but I beat ya to it on that one, post #200.

 

[Scud49]

Love the subtle entry on this one:

This intro from the summer of 1968 - so, so, classic:

I'll just call this iconic. Used time and time again in movies. It evokes things legendary and momentous:

Sometimes the cover is better than the original.
