Best intro to a song?

[wigman]

Whilst a work yesterday evening we had the radio on in the background;i was working with a colleague when they played Sweet child o mine by Guns n Roses.
He went on to say that the song had the best intro of all time;in reply i said what about Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix.
We had a little debate and i said that i would come back with a better song than his!
Can any of you help me with my debate with him as he says that song will not be beaten;
Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

Thought of exactly the same song when I saw this thread title.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

she sells sanctuary-the cult

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I love the start of She's Lost Control by Joy Division.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Derek & the Dominos. LAYLA.

 

[Race]

pinball wizard- THE WHO

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

We have done this one before but, it has to be Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. The piano chord and 'Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste' IS simple the greatest intro ever.

....
Another Girl Another Planet - Only Ones

Good call, I had this on my ipod whilst running along the seafront last night. I also love the drum bit in the middle when the song kicks off again. Great article about The Cult in Mojo this month.
