Yep, guilty as charged. How could I forget the Kinks? Another one I forgot was "The End" by The Doors

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

other way round for me, I always loved the song but didn't like the intro

another example I can think of (as in great song, crap intro) is Banana Republic by the Boomtown Rats

Agreed!

My nomination in that category would be the epic 2:25 intro to 'Thieves Like Us'.

Shine On - The House Of Love

Complex - Gary Numan

Can't beat this for a somewhat unique intro...

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.

Love that track. The intro was left off the single version though.
