Inspired by the opening line thread....

Best intro's!!

And no fucking u2 - right!

I'll start - Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones.......i think it is a fucking magnificent intro....

So what say you - what really hits you when the needle drops!?

In my book, nothing beats this in the past 20 years. Epic opening.

off the top of my head, in no particular order:

"Baba O'Riley" - The Who
"Will You Smile Again" - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
"the hand that feeds" - NIN
"Sun Goddess" - Ramsey Lewis
"A Million Miles Away" - The Plimsouls
"Blackened" - Metallica
"Lateralus" - Tool
"Fuck Tha Police" - NWA
"You Oughta Know" - Alanis Morrissette
"Strawberry Fields Forever" - The Beatles
"Short Memory" - Midnight Oil
"I Want You Back" - The Jackson 5

...well, there's a dozen. Tried to stay away from metal and prog, because waaaaaaaaay too many great ones there, but a couple slipped thru, hahahahahaha. Posting immediately so I don't start editing!
