And everything that comes before that!!

And in the death
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building
High on Poacher's Hill
And red mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City
No more big wheels

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
Any day now

The Year of the Diamond Dogs
WHAT IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW? THERE WASN'T ONE TODAY!

Come on now, you all know I have to pick this one:





Too High is just the deepest funk jam I've ever heard with the imfamous synthesizer lines and it's the most perfect intro to an album!!!

The intro to "GIVE IT TO ME BABY" get's my vote. Oscar Alston's bass is on fire on that cut and every "PUNK FUNK" cut he ever played on.

nod As a Slick Rick Fan and the Org Funkologist fro, I would have to agree with you that Oscar does lay it down on that track and bust out w/some serious Funk no doubt. headbang guitar

When I think of album intro's, I think of something like "Don't worry, I won't hurt u, blah, blah, blah." Not the first song on the album. Here's a few:

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
Destroyer - KISS
The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstien - Parliament

Since I just listened to this yesterday, the one that comes to mind at this very moment is Welcome to the Jungle from G n R's Appetite for Destruction. That echoing guitar intro is killer and a perfect setup for what the album has in store!



Co-sign

Great intro worship

How about RocknRoll Star - Oasis off Definitely Maybe ? (I.e. Back when they were good)

The whirling synths, the crash of the loud ass snare drums, the silly "dink donky" sound effects, the burbling bass. I can beatbox to this.

nod This song alone almost inspired me to start a thread about best/favorite song intros. That, or coolest instrumental intros before the vocals finally come in. lol

It's just brilliant, and I love how it just keeps building up before the vocals start in.
