Best intro to a song...

Are there any songs that just grab you in the first couple of seconds hearing it?

Nights in White Satin

Eve of Destruction

Sins of the Family

Where were you when I needed You

Heart of Gold

You were on my Mind

Double A stole my first choice SLF classic.

I agree with Simple Minds . . . but also The Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys . . . In a Big Country . . . and of course The Boss's Born to Run.

[Ship called Dignity]

Alot of the Joy Division and New Order stuff is excellent - here is one of my favourites

Bizarre Love Triangle



More recently and perhaps my favourite is Dakota by the Stereophonics. But that is really just the intro, not sure the song as whole leads up the expectations of the intro...

Sweet Child o' Mine..Guns n Roses
