[mpitts]

AC/DC - Hells Bells

 

[KLin]

ahh yes AC/DC, Thunderstruck rocks.

Whiskey in the Jar - Thin Lizzy : got me hooked first time I heard it.
Where the Streets have no Name - U2 : original, live, it always has an amazing intro/transition.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Hotel California - The Eagles
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Under the Bridge - RHCP

Supertramp - Bloody Well Right
Supertramp - School


I saw Supertramp live. To start the concert all of the lights in the arena were turned off. After 2 minutes or so the harmonica started up for School. When the guitars kick in (just after the scream for those who know), they turned all the lights on in time with the music. It was awesome.


Led Zeppelin - Rock and Roll is good too.
Phil Collins - (I think the title is I Can Feel It). The rest of the song kinda sucks but the intro is good.

 

[heathertre]

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Can't Get No Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Immigrant Song - Led Zepplin

 

[HardcoreRomantic]

Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne)
Paranoid (Black Sabbath)

And being an AC/DC fan, I must add the following:
Let There Be Rock
Whole Lotta Rosie
Highway to Hell (simple, but you hear that riff and know where it's going)
And even though the guitar is really nothing to rave about, Touch Too Much has a great intro because of Bon Scott's voice

 

[Doctor Nyse]

Anything by Pink Floyd

Toto - Africa

 

[bobeedee]

Does R&B count? O'Jays-Backstabbers

 

[PrinceofWands]

Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' is about the best beginning of a rock song I can think of, though once the song changes it loses it's greatness.

Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name is their greatest rock song intro, that and second is Ace's High.
