Members AlamoJoe Posted September 26, 2015 Members Share Posted September 26, 2015 Gotta be "Johnny B Goode" along with the drum version of it - "Rock n' Roll" I'll go along with that too, given that it's Johnny Winter And's Live version of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted September 26, 2015 Members Share Posted September 26, 2015 This is one of my favourites (or favorites, if you're a Yank) Whoever uploaded this to YouTube got the title wrong. It's actually (as you know) 'The Spirit of Radio' [video=youtube;5Tq-UsaRchI] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted September 29, 2015 Members Share Posted September 29, 2015 Another intro I like. You hear this cheezy intro... it sounds like your grandmother's Lowrey organ cha-cha rhythm preset, robotic and lifeless, and you think, "This could never be made into a convincing R&B record." But then something in the chemistry of the song happens, and it sounds fantastic. The simplicity against which a compelling mix can be made.

Members 144dB Posted September 30, 2015 Members Share Posted September 30, 2015 As a keyboard player, "Light my Fire" is permanently etched on my brain, and will always be special. Rush's "Tom Sawyer" deserves honorable mention. It's perhaps the most famous lowpass filter sweep of all time. "My Sharona" from The Knack. "Mean Street" (Van Halen's Fair Warning) The Who's "Eminence Front" Genesis "Man on the Corner" or Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" Asia's "Only Time Will Tell" Europe's "Final Countdown" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folder Posted September 30, 2015 Members Share Posted September 30, 2015 When I was growing up in the seventies it was common for song intros to be a different piece of music than the song itself. Of course a song intro can also be the opening riff or chord sequence of the song but when I hear the term "song intro" I still think of it as a separate piece of music. I always liked this intro and it's the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. .[video=youtube;HzjWsrlHLBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philboking Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 And "Castles made of Sand", and "Spanish Castle magic", and......Most of 'em he did really... 'Castles Made of Sand' is one intro I really love. I guess it has 2 intros actually. I always loved the way it sounded, but never appreciated the harmonic complexity of it until I sat down and learned it. But a lot of Hendrix stuff is like that; learning it gives you a lot of insight into the thing. Sort of like reading the book after seeing a movie.

Members Dendy Jarrett Posted October 2, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here is another of my favorites."Smoke from a Distant Fire" - Sanford Townsend Band [video=youtube;wCWVuCCWqzQ] I just love the intro and most importantly, the percussion. Ironically, the percussion track is played by the great Tom Roady (rest in peace friend) with whom I had the great pleasure of playing in a band with for 10 years. What a fantastic humanoid you were sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been able to! Not perfectly. I bet you can also play the intro to "Green-Eyed Lady" and the keyboard solo in "Time Of The Season" ! Or the piano intermezzo in "Something In The Air".

Members Vito Corleone Posted October 3, 2015 Members Share Posted October 3, 2015 In my dance-party/cover band I have what I call the "three note rule". If everyone doesn't recognize the song by the first three notes, then we aren't playing it. Most of the short-intro songs mentioned here fall into the category. I have a lot of favorite intros. For a lot of different reasons. "Baba O'Reilly" is the one that coming into my head right now as the perfect rock intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted October 3, 2015 Members Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm an incorrigible 70's Disco dweeb, and I love this hushed intro. My god-- what are the people in this video DOING?? Could it be they're (gasp) having FUN? Glad they've since put an end to that sort of nefarious musical conspiracy.

Members Idunno Posted October 3, 2015 Members Share Posted October 3, 2015 Funeral For A Friend over Love Lies Bleeding. That combo immediately comes to mind. I'm sure there are others but that was a long time ago and thinking isn't on my agenda today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
