Favorite Song Intros of All time

[Fastbreak]

From 1964, used to play this loud in the dorm on Fridays.

Here's my favorite version The Band & Ronnie Hawkins - Who Do You Love

 

[LwrcasefaN]

That bass always stops me in my tracks. Song is 50 years old this year!

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

Van the Man - Into the Mystic, the intro, so subtle:

Gotta post one more wonderful Steely Dan intro - this one is "Home at Last" from the Aja album:

 

[MSGRET]

I don't remember this being posted, if it was I apologize. Elton with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

 

[MSGRET]

The Beatles - Something

 

[MSGRET]

This was released on the 50th anniversary of George Harrison's classic solo album. It's got so many artists from acting to singing and everyone in between. "My Sweet Lord", I have always loved his intro, enjoy.

 

[Scud49]

Ah, "Something", great song MSG. Now here's another classic intro for you - "Here Comes the Sun". I read the other day it's the #1 most streamed Beatles song:

 

[MSGRET]

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. It was the first time I ever saw Prince on TV live, I came away with a different view of him as a guitar player.
