New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
In fact I'd say that most New Order singles have really good intros. I did actually think about starting a thread a while back listing rubbish/mediocre songs that have great intros such as... Andreas Johnson - Glorious Babylon Zoo - Spaceman Texas - Inner Smile |

Franz Ferdinand- Take me out
Always loved the intro but the song got a bit, let's say, bland, after the fast and exciting intro |

It's not my favourite Madonna song, although it is a bloody great one, but I have to say that the string section intro to Papa Don't Preach is nothing short of genuine genius.
For the sublime 'taking its time' factor, and making me positively purr with pleasurable anticipation for knowing what's coming, I will never lose love for Grace Jones's version of La Vie En Rose.

Can't beat this for a somewhat unique intro...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hchOYs_d_Bw The Lone Ranger by Quantum Jump...this was a minor hit back in the mid 70's, used to play on local radio stations in Liverpool a lot back then. |
