Surely it can only be “thunderstruck” by ACDC.

While we’ve gone all guitar l’d like to add this

Crap video mind

^good choice as well, I was listening to that album on the way home from work today, it’s so good. Shame the rest of their stuff isn’t up to much but that first album was great.

Frank Zappa. Road Ladies.

A fantastic spoken intro

Many of those already mentioned, but always had a soft spot for Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins.

So many,but a few from a recent playlist.

RHC Peppers ..Otherside
(They have quite a few good intros.)

The Clash .. Should I Stay or Should I Go.
(Intro is probably the best bit )

The Bunnymen …Ocean Rain ,Seven Seas and The Cutter.

Wild Beasts.. Invisible,Deeper.

Woe to you oh earth and sea
For the devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows that time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
It’s number is six hundred and sixty six.

I love that it’s quieter than the music, so you turn the volume right up before the opening riff kicks in.

Always takes me to a great place:

Second thoughts cowgirl in the sand-neil young and crazy horse.

If it’s ACDC it has to be Highway to Hell or Riff Raff surely! Highway to Hell is my go-to riff when testing out new guitar stuff. If those chords don’t sound good then there’s no hope.

Come on iolo if your going to include early AC/DC it’s got to be Bon’s originals

Prodigy Outer Space. 8)

With so many great intros, it’s not about the intro itself, it’s the suspension between the intro and what you know is coming.

Amen people. 😉

Wish you were here.
