Let’s turn this showboat around. More Than A Feeling - Boston

Good choice, and it got years of airplay.

A less successful band (but with similarly few albums) debuted around the same time that Boston hit it big - though few remember them:

A bit later in the timeline, this tune offered a great drum/guitar intro:

One of the funniest things about that song...The New Year’s Day Mummer’s Parade in Philadelphia is composed of huge groups who make elaborate costumes and put on song and dance numbers. That song was used as a group of at least 50 men paraded and danced in formation wearing Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble costumes. It was brilliant.

... we’d win the war on terror. Boogie Oogie Oogie - A Taste of Honey

Funny you mention that. An author named John Birmingham wrote a great three book series called "The Axis of Time" in which a US Navy carrier battle group in 2021 goes through a time warp and is stuck, in the past, no chance of coming home. It's 1942, and they make themselves known and join the fight against Japan. Anyway, the Marines capture some Japanese intel types and torture them, as "Boogie Oogie Oogie" plays in the background.

Ugh...time for some good flashbacks.

I hope you'll find this to be a good flashback.

Good one. Bowie’s something.

That reminds me of Golden Years.

I had a really surrealistic scene with that song, once.

We hit the local biker bar one night and nobody was there..we thought.

As we started to pull out, I hit play on the iPod and that came on and from seemingly nowhere, some very drunk chick came running across the parking lot and literally jumped on me, hugging me.

She said it had been decades since she’d heard and could I PLEASE let it play all the way through before I left.

WTH...I did.

She was totally blissed out as I drove away.

*Weird*.

Another time at Gettysburg Bike Week, I had Danzig’s “Mother” cranking at a stop sign and clicked the forward button to another song and a gang of bikers behind me all yelled in unison “HEY!!! PUT THAT BACK ON!!!”.

Yipes.

I did.

I can't believe a thread about guitar intros made it this far with no mention of Chuck Berry and especially his song, Johnny B. Goode.

Chuck is the grand daddy of rock and started the whole Guitar Intro "industry".

Johnny B. Goode is as good as it gets.

Johnny B Goode ORIGINAL VERSION
