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. |

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.

The very first thing I ever heard by Frank Black, before I even knew about the Pixies, was "Whatever Happened to Pong?"
I was at a cd listening station in Shinjuku Japan and saw this white album cover with a guy wearing a crown and hit the little red button. 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. |

The Marsist, I love how that song begins.
Would you wanna rush back here? I DIDN'T THINK SO. |

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

| 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. |

| 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. |

Intros that are the best part of the song
