OT: Song intros

[QDOG5]

After the Flagg saga I thought we needed something off topic to talk about. And I know we all have many song intro favorites but I've decided that this is my all time fav. Might have something to do with my avatar.

TIL the other day that Robert Hunter went to UConn for a year @August_West

Going with something not quite musical as it's a song that would be highly controversial today (musically, the intro to "Hello Susie" off same album is a rocker that never saw light of day in USA)



(my fave intro is probably "Gimme Shelter", but we've already had Stones above)

 

[GlastonTim]

Sweet Jane Intro live

 

[87Xfer]

how long until Phil Collins makes an appearance?

 

[Greedo]

The two that first came to mind for me:
Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins and You Could Be Mine by GNR

 

[Mike Honcho]

I'm gonna go hip hop on this one

 

[BFieldHusky]

Where the Streets Have No Name by U2. Love that guitar opening.

Since we're all patiently awaiting Nov 6, I"ll nominate my favorite instrumental intro from "Countdown to Ecstasy"

[87Xfer]

Probably not a popular choice, but I always liked this intro...

 

[nomar]

how long until Phil Collins makes an appearance?

 

[87Xfer]

Yeah, how did I not immediately think of that.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

 

[EZPass]

 

[lonsharkin51]

 

[HuskyHawk]

So many choices. This would certainly make the list

 

[HuskyHawk]

Rick does electric, drums and bass.

 

[alexd]

Cool one hit wonder from the Netherlands...
I had an AMC Rambler so....

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

 

[HuskyHawk]

Iconic

 

[Chin Diesel]

Lots of good options so far but this is the correct answer.

 

[Chin Diesel]

If you want the slow roller in to something bigger and better you go this route.

The two that first came to mind for me:
Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins and You Could Be Mine by GNR

Cherub Rock holds up strong for best lead off song on a first major release album.

You got Siamese Dream on disk and this is the first song you hear. All good.

You can no longer find this version anywhere (other than a youtube video off a nearly 60 year old vinyl album)

Love all the above, have a few probably not familiar to most
