The Kinks-Living On A Thin Line
The Sopranos brought me to this song.
Nailed it.
Just what I was thinking.
I’d also give points to FGTH Two Tribes... “The air attack warning sounds like... this is the sound.”
Absolutely, it's amazing!
The intro to "Won't Get Fooled Again" is also fantastic.
aerosmith - walk this way
black Sabbath - paranoid
the beetles - hey bulldog
and pretty much everything else mentioned above! so, loads of best ever intros then
should also stick the 14sec of intro to The ace of spades in.

Good one, haven't heard any Bruce Hornsby for a while but he turned out some great tunes.
I don't think anyone has mentioned Smoke On The Water yet? And I wish the last two minutes of November Rain was an intro, it's the best bit of the song.
Guaranteed to get me pogoing.
Bit of a one-hit wonder, but a fab intro (and video).
How Soon Is Now - The Smiths.
Anyone said “li’l wing” yet?
Different but a belter is “I believe in miracles” Jackson sisters.

If you like that intro then you'll as likely like this:
Then a brace of classic intros from a performer often overlooked as a great singer-songwriter:

Like a vision she dances across the porch,
while the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that’s me and I want you only...”
Poetry, I can picture it every time I hear it!
