Another Metallica mention, this time, the first track from ...And Justice For All, "Blackened".

It got me every time... I remember stealing that album in seventh grade and putting it on the stereo and cranking up the volume super high to hear the fade in at the beginning... then being blown away like a Memorex commercial after the chords and drums hit.

the intro to Holiday In Cambodia and, similarly, Fortunate Son

I love the whole song but that intro is just priceless. Amazing stuff happens when the drums kick in. Good call, Chout.

Ha ha, was just listening to that

Dub Sex - Man on the Inside. A dark, anguished, obsessive song, a favourite of mine for nearly 20 years. Feedback, a rumbling bassline and good rhythm. The lyrics in that foghorn voice, accompanied by shards of streaming guitar, make it even better. What a great song.

Confused,
On a circular route,

Chasing someone; chasing you,
I spent 24 hours in hot pursuit,
And I know your future plans
for you...

The odds are stacked against you,
that's why you always lose.

Does that unnerve you?
It should do...

Led Zeppelin - 'Whole Lotta Love'

I dig Plant's little barely-audible grunting sigh followed by Page's opening riff. Actually, there are several great Zeppelin intros.

Agreed, "Intro" is well worth being it's own song, and arguably even better than "Brave Men Run". It's actually one of my all time favorite Sonic Youth songs, though that list does run several pages...

For Metallica intros, since that seems to be a whole separate thread within a thread here, I'd vote for "Fade to Black" actually. Most of the song is the intro really.

Of course the intro to "Sweat Loaf" by the Butthole Surfers is an all time classic that is arguably superior to the song itself.
