Off Topic The Greatest Intro of All Time

‘Daddy, What does regret mean ?’

 

****ing yes!! Someone else does know it!!!

 

I'm a bit late to this thread but sorry 9's I think I am in love with your wife even though I have never met here.
You might want to point her in the direction of this epic thread on LFW

Oh and the album version of Papa Was a Rollin Stone takes some beating as an intro.

 

Seen Orbital live many times and that tune always gets the place jumping.
Though my fave is ‘Halcyon’ (live’), when they sample Bon Jovi and Belinda Carlisle......still gives me goosebumps remembering when I first heard them play that.

 

I play this before the final round in all my quizzes. My regulars really despise it. I adore it

 

I've seen them four times - Spike Island back in 1990 in their heyday, which was superb, T in the Park 2012 torrential downpour and mud that Glastonbury would be proud of, Glasgow Green in 2013, brilliant if it wasn't for all the NEDs trying to fight everyone, and finally last year at Hampden...oh dear, Ian Browns voice was dreadful thankfully the crowd knew all the words and covered over his vocals. They announced they were splitting up (again) just before they walked off stage so I'm glad I took my son with me that day.

 

You were at Spike Island ?
I salute you sir. Was it as good as legend says it was ?

 

I can

 

Yes mate, I didn't intend to link it but that was the song. There was a link to a great thread on LFW for any dance music afficionados (not many reading through this thread though!)

 

Early 70s and Stevie Wonder took Motown to another level...

 

If you love the blues this is an intro from heaven...

 

So many to choose from but this was the first one that popped into my head when I read this thread title, although not a huge fan of the band:

Tears for Fears - Head Over Heels

 

Yes, Tonight, Tonight is a great shout.

 

Awesome - that one gets my vote.

 

Some great tunes on here re intros
Here’s a curved ball on a genre that works on the intro in fact in some cases is a collection of intros throughout

Layered Music
Imo although pioneered by PF, TD Mike Ofield it’s not hard nowadays to pick a track that pisses all over some of the great tracks we have come up with

I picked the SP pretty vacant because of what it meant at the time .. a radical change

Today it’s flooded with great intros in trance music

Example

 

If it came down to the best visual intro on a video then for me it’s

 

Yes mate, I was there - got a bus from Kings Cross up there with loads of other Roses fans, was there early so saw the whole gig, from opening acts right through to the main event....still have the ticket somewhere, my son looks at it in awe it was a great day, weather was good if I remember, bit windy, loads of lovely ladies around (I would've been about 19, so right up for it!) - a pity that there's no decent footage of it anywhere....

 

Someone release a compilation album of all the tracks on this thread, that'd sort my daily commute out nicely.

 

In the factory where i was working today they have the local radio station playing and it's usually crap, but this afternoon this gem was aired and the intro is up there with the best of them........
