Sometimes the start to records stand out more than the songs themselves. I've been listening again to Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf, and I love the opening to : You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. Brilliant start to a great track. I also like the start of ACDC's Whole Lotta Rosie, thumping intro. Enter Sandman by Metallica always attracts my attention it's so well known by rock fans,but I never tire of hearing it. So what intro's do you like ?

Dreams by the Cranberries. Not a song I'm hugely into but it's a cracking start. There's a LeAnn Rimes song that starts with a fine sounding power chord but then descends into a LeAnn Rimes tune. Always disappoints.

Franz Ferdinand is decent with Take Me Out when it cranks up a bit slowly.

Okay, so this is gonna make me sound like a right old fart (which I am, so I don't care!), but my favourite start (and build up) is Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. It starts off really slow and soft and then builds to an amazing spine tingling crescendo of music and canon fire, with the bells of St Catherine's in the background! Brilliant! Have a listen and get some finesse and class wrapped around yer lugholes!

The first 45 seconds of Gimme Shelter is the best intro I've heard.

I too like a bit of classical. Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and anything by Greig. A lot of rock music has come from inspiration from a lot of classical music.

Nice and bombastic!


And, well... I prefer this Deep Purple intro. Sets the tone for the album!

How about the start to Burn and Smoke On The Water ? Theyve just played Can't Get Enough by Bad Company on Planet Rock. Great intro !

Strange but true. Put a set of ladders up against a window ledge and give them a shake, and it sounds like the start of Silver Machine by Hawkwind ! They have to be aluminium though !

Great song, would it be too much to suggest they're a very underrated band?

Don't mind a bit of classical, the start of the No3 Symphony by Saint Saens is quite explosive.
But away from classical, the countdown start to the Thunderbirds theme voiced by Peter Dyneley (Jeff Tracy) has remained a favourite.

Not necessarily the best (well apart from Smoke on the water) but intros that immediately lead me into pleasant memories of time and place.

White rabbit....Jefferson Airplane
Don’t fear the Reaper...Blue Oyster Cult
Smoke on the water ...Deep Purple
Long Strange Golden Road...Waterboys
Bank robber...The Clash

And of classical music:
The trumpet opening to Mahler’s Symphony number 5
Elgar’s Cello Concerto
