sometimes I don’t think of stuff for a long time until somebody triggers the memory on threads like this.
Looks like this was a good one for you.
Genesis, the live intro to, In the Glow of the Night/Pt. 2-The Last Domino.
Stranglehold
In the running for "Best Musical score & studio recording of songs with Worst Lyrics (Ever)".
According to Tony Banks, it has the "worst lyrics ever" part sewed up...
I’d vote for the intro to “Dance On a Volcano”.
One of a kind...
What can compare, with that?
Pitch black except for the wide band of the Milky Way shining down, I heard The Moody Blues for the first time .. The Story In Your Eyes, Nights in White Satin, For My Lady .. several albums' worth. I became a Moody Blues fanatic that night ...
The Who may have been the kings of great intros, like for “Love Reign O’er Me.”
Eruption/You Really Got Me—VH. Overplayed, but still a barnburner...
From the SkiKnee "Ruptured Tympanic Membrane" collection. ('Burst eardrums' for those of you in Rio Linda).
The National Anthem - Radiohead
Can’t believe no-one has posted
HELLS BELLS !!
Heh!
“When The Morning Comes” & “Las Vegas Turnaround” by Hall & Oats.
Piano intro to “Flight 505” on the ‘Aftermath’ album of the Stones.
Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin
Purple Haze - Jimi
Sweet Jane - Lou Reed
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
With a Little Help From My Friends - Beatles
Red House - Great White
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Tusk - Fleetwood Mack
A plus
Don’t know about the greatest but ‘Light My Fire’ sure evokes memories of the ‘Summer of Love’, the Monterey Pop Festival, the Haight and the rest of it.
Though I was a soldier in waiting and didn’t believe any of that crap, hippy girls were easy.
“Journey To The Center Of Your Mind” is a great choice. I think the opening note to “Hard Day’s Night” also belongs on the list.
Yes, that one gives me chills, but then again, I know what's coming later on.
