San Antonio Tx and Ole Mulholland are two that originally come to mind.

I wish the entirety of those two songs kept the sound of the opening moments.

I feel like there are 1 or 2 Pixies examples I can't think of right now too.

In the Time of my Ruin has a great intro. I don't know if it's the best part of the song as it has a great outro too.

Down To You, on FMRM. That song's first thirty seconds are in 6/4 and quite catchy, then it switches to plain old 4/4 and becomes a bit boring.

I like the intro for San Nazare quite a bit.

Oh oh, I love the intro for Snakes.

agree on Ole Mulholland and The Marsist


I initially thought I'd add Freedom Rock, but no, the song keeps getting better and better after the intro

Maybe Bel Esprit : the intro is promising, but then it goes too ballad-ey

The Marsist, I love how that song begins.

Would you wanna rush back here? I DIDN'T THINK SO.

The song starts out with what struck me for some reason at the time as a Zeppelin wanna be thing, then thumbs it nose at you and goes off on the tangent that is Whatever Happened. I stood there laughing and listened to most of the album before grabbing a copy (the bonus disc version) off the shelves and making a minidisc copy for my train commutes around Tokyo.



this made me smile, should have been the video for it.

The intro to Honeycomb is fantastic. I love the whole song but the intro is sublime.

Not too many others spring to mind. There are tons of great intros but I also really love the rest of the song in most cases to say they're the best part is a stretch.

Brick Is Red maybe? Depends what you define as the intro. I sort of feel like the whole first half of the song is the intro. It could have easily just been an instrumental in my eyes and still sound as good.
