It has beautiful ending too. Played on repeat by me a teenager.

[Music] Possibly the best intro ever. Released 44 years ago today.

Turn up the bass. Put on some headphones and listen to the intro to this. The OMG moment kicks at 1 minute 18

In fact listen to the whole track. It is absolute class.
RIP Theo.

Slow burner of a start but it is a 15 minute track. Just listen to those Audio Generators crank into gear...
Definitive Stoner Song?

It never fails to surprise me how old punks have turned into such repetitive bores... the very essence of the UK scene was about shaking up the establishment both within society and on a secondary level: the music industry. The assertion that punk is due a rebirth reeks of a cynical music label cash in... Therefore I suspect many of you will get your wish. The irony being that by revisiting it or doing it again, well, you're becoming as predictable as a 20 min drum solo at a prog gig... and guess what, the establishment survived the last 'onslaught' and (sadly) it'll survive any further attempt to undermine the voodoo economics that have ruined the world.
Music doesn't change anything, it merely adds the soundtrack to what's wrong or indeed right in the world.... why anyone would believe anything else is lost on me.
As for best intros, as ever, it's a subjective and personal thing and thus a waste of time suggesting anything really as it'll be bombed out of sight by the 2eclectic NSC muso mojo mafia... the YT skipper, sailing his ship off the ends of the earth to get just one more ****ing thumbs up. A true punk, for example, wouldn't give a flying ****.
Those who know what they like and are satisfied to sit back and listen to it without ramming it into an unhearing ear... well, yes.... you I have time for.

When being at a gig is like being at the football. This recording is absolutely no match to what it was like in London a few years ago. [MENTION=13715]jimhigham[/MENTION] will confirm.

Iconic openings from the great Ray Manzarek and Dave Greenfield (& mates).
What on earth are you banging on about? I still play my Wishbone Ash, Purple, Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Sabbath, Genesis, Focus, Rory, Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, Four Tops, ****ing Joe Turner.
Stitch that.
Definitely one of the greatest album intros as well.
Brave man coming on here liking U2 - but of course the other fabulous album intro is Where the Streets Have No Name
That is another one of the 1000 tracks that gets into my top 50 of all time top ten. An absolute gem of a track, this live version, with an elegant introduction of the highest order. I salute you
Confirmed
Sadly the last time I saw them. I’ve managed to consistently be in the wrong place every time they’ve come around since.
Booked some tickets for some retro German shenanigans next summer though…
Here is another cracking intro from Ireland's other finest (after VNV Nation)
