Best IntroMusic

[Crash]

Oh god there are so many great intros, so hard to pick, but here are my few favorites:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - Brain Damage
System of a Down - Aerials
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Pennywise - Yesterdays
The Anne Rogers Quartet - Love Ng

 

[s0nny80y]

Slither - Velvet Revolver

Public Service Announcement - JayZ (allow me to introduce myself, my name is HOV!)

Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack (hands down)

 

[VIPFREAK]

Both Drøn - Halo and Vibrasphere - San Pedro have a great beat though out the song but both of their intros is just as good.

 

[Kylehnat]

Vigil-Lamb of God (soft lead-in to a very intense song)
Eulogy-Tool (in fact, the whole song might be the best 8 minutes of music ever written )
War-System of a Down (even better live)
Master of Puppets-Metallica (excellent metal intro; still can't play it after 2 years)

 

[tabs]

I really love the intro to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

 

[Event]

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
ELO - Four Little Diamonds
War - Low Rider

 

[CDailey]

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

(also qualifies for best_riff_evah)

 

[Blackbird.]

Korn - Here To Stay

 

[Ryan2]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne. Could you ever get a more powerful, sinister keyboard intro?

 

[Zrow]

Dudes!

Hot for Teacher!

Isn't that like the obvious choice?

 

[xXSilencerXx]

Korn - Here To Stay

I'll second that.

 

[lethalAE86typeR]

Micahel Angelo Batio- No Boundries

Yngwie Malmsteen- Anguish and Fear

Van Halen- Panama, Hot For Teacher, and Atomic Punk.

 

[Smallhorses]

Some English Indie-Kid specials!

Forever - The Charlatans
Sproston Green - The Charlatans
Break Right Into Heaven - The Stone Roses
The Cedar Room - Doves
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths
Leave Them All Behind - Ride
Hallelujah (Club Mix) - The Happy Mondays

Others:-

All the previously mentioned Pink Floyd tracks and definitely Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), but I'd like to add the following too;

Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
Riders On The Storm - The Doors

 

['85fierogt]

I'm gonna second Smallhorses' pick of Jimi Hendrix - VooDoo Chile (Slight Return)
I also have to agree with Ryan on Mr. Crowley being some sinister keyboarding.

Ozzy Osbourne - Over The Mountain
Sublime - Pawn Shop
311 - Love Song
Metallica- For Whom The Bell Tolls
Rufus Wainwright ft. Chaka Khan - Tell Me Something Good
John Fred and The Playboy Band - Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)


and my favorite intro of all time
Dezeray's Hammer - Far Enough Away ( I guess I just like weird sounds. Theres not really much to it. I heard the guy do it at a concert and thought it was the neatest thing since sliced bread.)

 

[Smallhorses]

Someone mentioned Jimi before me. I was seconding it! You'll have to be happy with thirding!

Another mention for Pink Floyd though has to go to Sheep. Great, long, building intro. 👍

 

['85fierogt]

I'll forth it while I'm at it. Its that awesome.

 

[zoxxy]

AC/DC - Beating Around the Bush

It makes you just wanna run around the block screaming "OH ****ING YEAH!".

 

[Tornado]

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

The intro is longer than the rest of the song
Another one:
Electric Light Orchestra-Don't Bring Me Down

 

[Emohawk]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop

I love that one. The only bad part is where the singing starts. Great video, too.

ELO - Four Little Diamonds

What,
"Is this on?
...
Okay, after one...
One!"
?
Yeah, that is pretty good.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Juvenile Feat Mannie Fresh - In My Life
Lil Wayne Feat Mannie Fresh - Go DJ

If ya have subs in your car, both have beats to give them a work out.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

Metallica- Ride the Lightning

Beat that.

 

[Event]

CCR - Fortunate Son

 

[Greycap]

CCR - Fortunate Son

An excellent choice I'd say, simple but VERY effective.
