Song intros that really grab you? ?


There are quite a few of these but two of my favorites are Garth Hudson's killer organ on "Chest Fever"by The Band and the intro to "Layla" by Derek And The Dominos. What are some of your favorites??
spindrifter
Joey Kramer's drum intro to "Lord of the thighs"...it is on Aerosmith's "Get your wings"...and quite frankly it simply KILLS !!!!!
Rolling Stones, either "Brown Sugar" or "Start Me Up" (since they're roughly inverses of one another). Guess I give the nod to BS, because I heard it first and SMU loses points for being used in a Microsoft ad.

Second the nomination of Yes "Roundabout." Also, "Siberian Khatru" from "Close to the Edge"

Others that come to mind:
Santana, "Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile)"
Hendrix, "Little Wing" and "Purple Haze"
Buffalo Springfield, "For What It's Worth"
Jefferson Airplane, "Volunteers"
Neil Young, "Rockin' in the Free World"
Mountain, "Mississippi Queen" (gotta love The Great Fatsby)
Ten Years After, "I'd Love to Change the World"
Beatles, "Paperback Writer"
Paul Simon, "Late in the Evening"
Eric Clapton, "Layla" (or about half of the other songs on that album...)

And on and on ... isn't music great? Happy listening!
