Always loved a great intro.

The more dramatic and haunting they are, the better;

Backstabbers - Ojays
Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Temptations
Do It Again - Steely Dan
Riders On The Storm - Doors
If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman
I Don't Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats
Year Of The Cat - Al Stewart
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Christopher Cross - Sailing
You mean Al Green

How could I forget I heard it through the grapevine?!

Also I nominate The Smiths This Charming Man and Isley Brothers This Old Heart Of Mine

Yeah, that's a cracking song, too. No need to feel guilty about listening to smooth pleasant songs like that, though! Life is too short for that sort of nonsense.
