Greatest Intros

Sorry if this topic has been upp recently but I just listened to Stevie Wonders Golden Lady and the intro to that song is just too beautiful, so I wanted to start a thread about it lol
So what is everyone else favorite intros? In the stone by Earth Wind & Fire is also great I think..

worst intro for a great song would have to be Fantasy by Aldo Nova. Holy Diver by Dio is also a good song with a bad intro.

intros that I like .

Another Day by Fastway
Voodoo chile by hendrix.
Desperate but not serious by adam ant
Scorpions - no one like you
Stones - Brown Sugar
Let's go crazy - prince
Kick out The Jams - MC5
Crazy Train - Ozzy
Signs of Chaos by Testament
Mary Jane - Rick James
Won't Get Fooled Again/Pinball wizard/Baba O'Riley
intros that are better than the song - white room by cream


great ending - cinnamon girl by neil young

For me, the ultimate intro is Curtis Mayfield's Don't Worry If There's A Hell Below We're all gonna go
