+ 1 for Songs for the Deaf – first one I thought of when I read the thread title. Weird how it works, seems like something that would date really badly, but the radio stuff still sounds right all through the album.
When you’re young you can eat what you like, drink what you and still fit into those 28 inch waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age 24, 25, your muscles give up, wave a little white flag and without any warning at all you’re suddenly a fat bastard. YOU FAT BASTARD (repeat)
deee-lite theme was the intro to the cassette version of the their album, but wasn’t on the vinyl release. Weird really as its the best thing they ever did

not really an intro as such, but ive always got goosebumps when safe european war kicks in on give em enough rope. first 3 songs have been my favourite start to any album since it first came out.
Christ, there are 100s!
Gotta say, my fave album of last year has an intro called “Intro”.
Sets the scene for one of the most original and exiting rap albums I’ve ever heard..

And from the past, the voice that introduces a classic album…

Zoo Station – brilliantly leads you into the awesomeness that is for me still U2’s finest album, Achtung Baby. It was a great show opener is well on the whole Zoo TV circus.

I hate album intros – they’re like filler, at the start, where there’s nothing to fill.
They don’t have to start in a big build up….I just meant how the start of an album grabs your attention. For example this doesn’t have a build up it just sets the tone nicely for the rest of the album.
