Best Song Intro

Just curious on what songs' intro really floats your boat. I got the idea today for this thread listening to my iPod when "It's A Long Way There" by The Little River Band started up. It starts out with some symphony, adds GREAT vocal harmonies, then cool rhythm guitar, followed by some cool electric riffs and chicken pickin' harmonics. Love it. And I'm not really a huge LRB fan.

So whatcha' all like?

The Beatles - Revolution. For years I thought John Lennon gave us that magnificent intro, then I saw a video where Paul McCartney steps up to the mic and belts out that scream.

If you like bluegrass rock(I call it heavy wood), check out a band called Railroad Earth. The put out a live disc a couple of years back named "Elko". The intro on Disc 2, track 2, song called Mighty River has a killer intro.
Secondarily, try the Grateful dead Dick's Pick's 34, the Eyes of The World has a great Phil Lesh bass solo into an intro jam before the band goes into the tune, also very good.
