I'm surprise no one has posted this one yet.

Originally a Dire Straits song. Mark Knopfler, who wrote it, performs it here. One of the most beautiful intros I know of. Very cool, smart lyrics, too.
Your Latest Trick.

I distinctly remember this from '65 and I wouldn’t consider it a "favorite intro", but it just popped up on my YouTube feed, so...

 

[Kaizen]

[Kaizen]

Nancy Sinatra Summer Wine

This was my first introduction to the Mellotron:

Still one of my all-time favorites.

I could pick most of the songs of Renaissance, with their orchestral intros.

No "Layla?"

 

[Ozimoto]

Another Who song with a memorable intro.

[64Zcode]

Still one of my all-time favorites.

Man, this song should come with a trigger alert......the first few notes send me back to high school, cruising McDonalds and East Main St in Torrington with my 4 speed Fairlane. The Muntz underdash 8 track feeding the wedge speakers on the rear deck. The result was mostly distortion, but hey, I thought I was cool. (Born To Be Mild would have been more appropriate...)
This was one of two store-bought tapes I had, purchased used because I couldn't afford new. I pretty much wore it out.

Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore. Great bass intro.
