I read a few threads here tonight and my old buddy, Cav, wants more music threads.

What is your favourite song intro? (Not the one that you regard as the greatest intro of all time!) Just your favourite one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't slag off someone else's favourite track. It's their favourite one, and not the greatest one of all time, in your opinion, etc., etc.

Mine is definitely Knocking On Your Back Door by Deep Purple.

I lived and worked in the American mid west in the mid 80's and it was constantly played on radio. I got to see them in Detroit and that song was the highlight of the show, for me.

Gonna see them in The Marquee in Cork again in a few weeks time. Really looking forward to it.

The first one that popped into my mind was Do It Again by Steely Dan

I also like the intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

And The Boys Are back In Town by Thin Lizzy

Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners

I could go on and on ...

Yeah love that too. +1 on Come on Eileen as well.

Whiskey in the jar (Lizzy version of course)

A lot of Portishead stuff has great intros.

Big Brother by David Bowie - the intro gives me the shivers.
 
Jangling indie guitar, followed by 'Punctured bicycle on a hillside, desolate'
 
Moonchild by Iron Maiden - not the greatest song of all time but a real thumping intro - get the adrenalin going

Quite a lot of Maiden songs have great intros

Of course, you can't forget the most recognisable intros in the world:

Queen - We will rock you;
Queen - Another one bites the dust.

Believe me it's not far enough.

I thought Neil Diamond posts were banned, particularly in light of the facts that this is a music thread and he's still alive-ish.

I referred this post to the Great Moderator in the Sky, [broken link removed].
