Greatest openings to songs?

Recommended Posts

I've always loved the way Pink Floyd's Money starts.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's the worst track on Dark Side Of The Moon. But I think it really has a great introduction, with the sound effects and then the bass line kicking in.

Not that it's on DSotM, but it's criminal to name a Pink Floyd intro without mentioning One of These Days.

Pigs

Run Like Hell

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (when the guitar first comes in, rather)

Time

 

 

all great Floyd openers

Has anyone mentioned Wu-Tang's "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man"? Between the "torture, motherfucker" part, the Wu-Tang roll call, and that big beat when Method Man actually starts rapping, it's got enough great beginnings for three different songs.

"I've got something to say,

I killed a baby today"

 

(Last Caress)

I've never heard this song, but it sure as hell ought to be Gene Snitsky's entrance theme.

 

Come on, you knew it was only a matter of time before Snitsky made it into this thread.

The intro to "Ten Years Gone" is great (hell the whole song is beautiful)

 

And though there's a lot of Eagle's hate on this board I must mention..."Hotel California"
