Songs with cool beginnings
I posted this link in a new thread yesterday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSbZBZjIDVI

It shows Walter Trout and his band doing what I regard as a very cool opening for the song Dust My Broom. I love the impact.

Any openings/intros/beginnings to songs out there that you guys like?

Okay, this one is a live version, but I've always loved the gentle hum of feedback before the song starts on this version:



I guess I like feedback intros.

I love the intro to this song almost more than the song itself:

Baby Blue by Badfinger... Simple and elegant, it sets the tone for the song perfectly and then gets out of the way.

Most songs by the Jam, but in particular:

Going Underground
The Dreams of Children
This is the Modern World
Art School

I also love how X's White Girl starts.

First heard Walter Trout in 1993 "Life in the Jungle" with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. (Charly Blues Masterworks Vol. 4). He's good.

For me ... "Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who.

My two favorite openings ever are:

Jolene - Dolly Parton. It's simple but I just love that guitar part.

William, it was really nothing - The Smiths. The intro is a song in itself, an absolute joy!
