Favorite Song Intros of All time

Sad news - just heard Robbie Robertson has died.

Great intro on this one from him: "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"

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

Great minds think alike, some are just faster than others.

Gotta do another in honor of Robbie. As has been pointed out, vocal intros count. One of my favorite cuts from The Band:

Nice intro and you still get Rod Argent's 4+ minute Hammond solo in the middle.

My last post for the day, couldn't find a good copy by George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". I decided to use Prince and friends version from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2004 induction of George.
