I only have to hear those discordant opening notes to Jimi's Purple Haze to know that sonic nirvana is upon me.
Someone voted for Ida Gadda Vida previously - great shout!
Cheers,
Neil.

Loads of good choices on here.......I’ll pick the following:

Should I stay or should I go. The Clash
That bass intro to Waitin for an Alibi - Brilliant!

I haven't listened to any ZZ Top for years...might have to sit down and do so.
Isnt that just one chord?
Howling mix
It sure is.
An Fadd9 played on George's Ricky 360/12.

AC/DC 'Walk All Over You' has an absolute brilliant intro.
Thin Lizzy - Chinatown

Level 42 - Hot Water

And,
Leftfield - Phat Planet
Pete
Just thought of another one, not the best but pretty darn good

Speed Kills - Ten Years After
Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd
Silver Machine Hawkwind. Love the girl saluting whilst staring into I know not what!
Minefields The Podigy
Holidays In The Sun Sex Pistols
STEVIE WONDER
SUPERSTITIOUS
I could follow suit and name about 70 different tracks in one thread, but that's frankly boring as f*ck. The first to spring to mind is "love will tear us apart" by joy division.
It isn't technically great and it doesn't scream "classic" but it's iconic to me.
Pretty Vacant
Zadok the Priest?

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins (oh and that Gorilla!)
https://youtu.be/wHjieD6CTYs
Faith
A Forest
There she goes by the la’s
Babylon zoo - spaceman, rest of the sing was utter tosh though.
Good shout along with Born Slippy
Fade to Grey - Visage
Eric Clapton - Layla
Psycho killer that’s a brilliant version along with Life during Wartime.
With the brilliant Tina Weymouth!❤️
Smoke on the Water is surely the most instantly recognisable into ever, only equalled by Whole Lotta Love.

I think this thread deserves a bump.
Already had a playlist on my iTunes with my favourite intro based songs, many of them mentioned here, and now further enhanced with many of the other great suggestions so far.
I don't think these two have been mentioned yet...
Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy
Kiss - God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II

No best of course as it's entirely subjective, but many of my favourites mentioned already. Here's another . . .
F.T.F.A.
Lots of good suggestions. My favourites are:
The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet (the Blink 182 cover is also brilliant)
Faithless - Insomnia
Stone Roses - I am the resurrection
Pretty Vacant.
Psycho - Muse
Would it be wrong to admit that I have it as a dedicated ring tone for when the Mrs calls me - seemed appropriate.
