They nominate as "Epic song intros"
The Temptations: Papa Was A Rolling Stone - two minutes of pure groove, even in the three-and-a-half minute single edit
U2: Where the Streets Have No Name - 1:18 of atmospheric guitar before Bono butts in
Dire Straits: Money For Nothing - 1:05, although radio stations would have cut it to 30 seconds to start with its classic riffs
The Who: Baba O'Riley - a pulsating 1:05 in one of the all-time classic intros
The Eagles: Hotel California - a haunting 52 seconds sets the scene perfectly
Survivor: Eye of the Tiger - 50 seconds, just long enough for a boxer to walk to the ring
The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter - Keith Richards' guitar wails for 50 seconds, although there are backing vocals
May I suggest The Smiths: Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me - 2:12 of pit-burning angst
and David Bowie: Station to Station - 3:17 of anaesthetised desperation...
You?
