Best Introduction

[CeeJay(:]

Listening to John Fahey's 'Layla' and wondering, what other songs have the best introductions? Also thought Sunshine of Your Love and House of the Rising Sun.

I love the intro to Kasabians Club Foot

30 seconRAB of wafting synths & then suddenly the bass & drums kick in.

Orgasmic

There are several Rammstein songs that sound so gentle and cute before they get going - one with birRAB tweeting at the start, you think 'awww' for second before the song gets going (in Rammstein's typical way) and therefore as some starts go - they are great introductions.

(I'm sorry - crap at remerabering song titles - especially German ones! I have a CD of their stuff that a gorgeous man put together for me and I have no idea what the songs are called - except for Engel - which is a particular fave of mine.)

Ta, hun.

 

[Shauna Abdouche]

House of the Rising Sun has a superb-u-licious intro. So do these songs:
Bauhaus- Bela Lugosi's Dead
Tool- Eulogy
The Postal Service- In Due Time
Refused- New Noise
Broken Social Scene- Shampoo Suicide

 

[Blood Dampens My Pillow]

Newborn by Muse is a cool intro, you start with a soft, quiet piano before it all stops dead and suddenly your pelted with a raucious, heavy riff. also, the kinks "you really got me" starts with one of the best known riRAB ever, and blind by koRn is a good intro too. whole lotta love and black dog are good intros too.

 

[radiokatblu]

bring it on home by zeppelin is pretty cool. starts off all mellow and weird then page comes in and blows me away.

 

[Laura RMCF]

the opening bass line for dazed and confused is a good intro

 

[melinuxfool]

My favorite intro right now is the intro to Lucy in the Sky with DiamonRAB by The Beatles.
