best ever start to a song?

[deutscherhockey]

For me you'll have to go a long way to beat the start of "Waterfront" by Simple Minds...bass note, crashing drums and then screaming guitar......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[andyd]

Where the Streets Have No Name by U2, the build up in that is immense, got to be the best for me.

[hitman69]

extended version of Pink Floyds Another Brick in the Wall

you listen to the first 1 min 20 secs and dont have a cluewhat the record is till the first distinctive sound of that tune, awesome

it has a cameo audio ( obviously ) appearance of Billy Conelly

[fightygirl]

I quite like the start of "D'Ya Know What i Mean" by Oasis.....

[jaycourtney]

Under the bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers
The National Anthem- RADIOHEAD

[David]

Honourable mentions to:
Can't stop - Chilis
Welcome to the Jungle - G n R
Enter Sandman - Metallica
No Good (start the dance) - Prodigy
Hitchin' a ride - Green Day
...and justice for all - Metallica
Nothing Else matters - Metallica
Bliss - Muse
The Riverboat song - Ocean Colour Scene
The kids aren't alright - The Offspring
Won't get fooled again - The Who
Baba o Riley - The who
But the one that beats all of them has to be "Sweet Child of mine" by Guns n Roses. I remember shivers going down my spine when I actually saw them live, and they played that.

Best ending has to be "one" by metallica
(You might have guessed, I kind of like rock music, but whilst having a quick check through my collection because I couldnt think off the top of my head, i discovered to my shame I actually bought "see you when i get there" by coolio (?) Oh the shame!

[crunchie]

'Prime Mover' - by Zodiac Mindwarp. That would be an awesome intro for the Panthers to skate out to.

Another good ending has to be Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Just quality guitar!!

Agree with all of them. Also Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, House of the Rising Sun by The Animals, I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness, Fools Gold by Stone Roses, Supersonic & Live Forever by Oasis, Pinball Wizard by The Who, Thunderstruck by AC/DC, Song 2 By Blur, War Pigs by Black Sabbath, Clocks by Coldplay, Voodoo Child/Chile by Jimi Hendrix, The Bucket by The Kings of Leon,

But my all time favourite intro has to be Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin!!

[Lahh.]

at the moment it would have to be Marilyn Manson ~ The Beautiful people. But only because I've become randomly obsessed with his music recently.

I also like the beginning of HIM ~ gone with the sin! So scary!

[Sykora]

Blind by Korn..especially LOUD!!!

OK, so I wouldn't class these as the best "Intro's" by far but I only have to hear the start of the first section and i'd be up for a mosh/boogie/dance!

Feel good hit of the summer - Queens of the stone age
Eleven Years - New Model Army
Whitelight - New Model Army
No rain - Blind Melon
Du Hast - Rammstein
Temple of love - Sisters of mercy
Waltzinblack - The Stranglers (Gives me big goosebumps when I hear it!)
Always the sun - The Stranglers
Sonnet - The Verve
Lucky Man - The Verve
Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys
Wind it up - The Prodigy


Some other ones which always make me feel squishy inside
Mary's Prayer - Danny Wilson
Sadness - Enigma
Dance away - Roxy music
Vienna - Ultravox
It's my life - Talk Talk
Once in a lifetime - Talking heads
Empty - The Cranberries
Dignity - Deacon Blue

That'll do for now but i'm sure there's loads more!

I enjoy the start to Movies by Alien Ant Farm. It starts with the first beat of the drum and kicks into the song immediatly

[hitman69]

dire straits money for nothing

[girdeaux]
