Having just compiled a CD of my favourite driving songs (you know the ones - they get you in the mood for turning up the volume and driving down the most boring roads without a care in the world), one of them got me thinking about songs with great intros to them.
Which songs do you think have the best ones??
Here’s mine to start off.

And just stretching the envelope slightly - the best instrumental track!!
The first one off the top of my head was Dire Straits money for nothing. Probably not the greatest, but it was instant in my mind. 
NEXT!
Turn the volume up, the bass up, and listen to 6:48 of pure class!!
I know lots will disagree with me here!!

Buzzard Boy, have to agree it’s good. BUT for intro heaven it has to be this

Not quite my thing GOGZY, but the intro wasn’t bad on the Panterra one. 
But Dragonforce, not half bad
Classic Queen sound there GIBLSA, but if i’m perfectly honest I’ve never heard that before 
it was on thier first album “queen” in '73
absolutely awesome album to drive to, especially if the traffic is bad.

I despise SCOM by GnR, the one song of theirs i hate!! Now Civil War is a different matter!!!

Clapton, Layla. Now that’s not so much an intro, as an opening salvo!

Well thanks a bunch Limestone, for as long as i can remember i’d had SCOM as my ring tone. Changed about a month ago, NOT NOW!.

Highway Star If you’ve got a recording of Deep Purples 1985 Knebworth gig you know thats a belter.
Money by Gun. Very underrated Scottish band.
Wish You Were Here Great for singing along to.
Enjoy 
Back to queen for me

you watch it and realise that Christopher Lambert is actually on stage with them, not just in the film clips. (about 1min 10 secs)

I’m going to have top revisit the Queen back catalogue 'cos I’d not heard of this one either. GREAT TRACK!!!
Roger Taylor is without doubt my favourite drummer of all time.
Closely followed by Phil Collins. Don’t believe me? Watch This
Here are a few (in no particular order) of my fave intros… I really have too many to choose from, but these (IMHO) are great classic intros! The links all go to YouTube:
Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
AC/DC - For Those About To Rock
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
■■■■ - I could fill the forum with great intros!! But those are enough for now!!
there can’t be many intros better than this one,
it grabs you by the throat and doesn’t stop shaking till 5 minutes after they’ve finished
