Well, when it comes to that band, I guess I’d prefer “Keep Yourself Alive” or “Stone Cold Crazy” in that respect.

Neil Diamond’s intro to Hot August Nights...full symphony orchestra that gradually morphs to heavy drums and guitar...classic.

The intro to “Sweet Love of Mine” and even the Slash guitar bridge -— Guns n Roses. Best rock to come out of the 80’s.

Speaking of Pink Floyd, “Breathe”. That was THE #1 tune used for demoing good stereos for about 20 years... I always wondered how many woofers it killed!

One of my favorites was the Beatles "1-2-3-4" intro to "I Saw Her Standing There".

Here's another interesting version of that song, without that great count at the beginning, but with some famous folks singing throughout it: "I Saw Her Standing There"

And here is another (live) version by the Beatles, which, while revealing less than perfect recording quality, gives a rough idea of how they performed that song in concerts: "I Saw Her Standing There"

And very short. Within a few beats it seems like you’re into the main body of the song. But I like it!

If you only had a dollar...

I remember losing my hearing in the Navy Exchange while cranking up Donna Sumer's, "I Feel Love" while switching from JBL's to Altec to Pioneer to others. It was the perfect song for a very low base and her high soprano that would pierce your ears. Settled on the JBl's.

With due respect, that's a joke right?

"Already Gone - Eagles"

Yes, kinda nice intro as most their music has. The best is Hotel California. I have played Already Gone in bands and house parties though the years. Very popular song.

I've even teached a guy how to sing it when he thought he had no voice. I also taught my wife to sing Sonny & Cher (Cher's part). The vocal cords are much like muscles. Work them enough and you can carry a tune unless you're tone deaf which is rare. My wife and I were the hit of Karaoke night on our last cruise. She'd sing Cher and I would sing Neil Diamond. Fund times.
