Martha & The Muffins - Echo Beach...
For me the most recognisable - can spot it in a crowded room.
Celebrity Skin by Hole (but probably written by Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins who was dating Courtney Love at the time) - definitely the best into ever...
Wait4me Beat me to it. Another vote for I wanna be adored by the Roses
Also Hallelujah by the Mondays
From out of Nowhere - Faith No More
I remember exactly when I first heard it;
A mate lent me the tape. I put it in my walkman and hit play. I stepped out of the front door and closed it just as the lead-tape ended and that riff kicked in. I bounced all the way to Uni.
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera........where's me Lucozade?
another +1 for I wanna be adored
How Soon is Now?
Three I can think of:

Club Tropicana by Wham.
It's the perfect evocation of driving to a nightclub then hearing the music as stilettos clip clop on the way in and the insects buzz in the trees.
Takes me back to the days I could stay up that late.
New Rose - The Damned
California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys

35 posts and no mention of Hotel California? Shame on you all!
I'm sure there's a really good Velvet Underground one that was used in a car tyre ad but as for al the other great intros that must be out there I've drawn a creative blank right now.
Hard Day's Night was quite good for mixing a piano chord with a guitar chord (probably) and of course I love Voodoo Chile when watched as part of Withnail and I when they are driving up north.
Oh and I love the Who's intro to that song on Woodstock when he is singing Touch Me, Feel Me etc. Can't remember the song but it's great in concert!

Ram Jam - Black Betty
Motorhead - Dirty Love
