I like this one. Make sure you have your speakers turned ALL the way up. I always thought this would be a great alarm clock "ring".

'Long Time' by Boston. You COULD take the whole of 'Foreplay' as the intro, but the he transition into 'Long Time' is one of my favourite bis of music.

Also 'She Sells Sanctuary' by The Cult.

It's a long and slow intro, but Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of my favorites....

Excellent list. Sure, we all have our things to add (or subtract), but I dug this! I might add the intro to Johnny Winter's "Guess I'll Go Away"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Pym4EkyFc
And Ten Years After, "I'm Goin' Home"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW5M5xljdCI
and about forty other tunes ("Hot for Teacher" anyone?)

Interesting list. Personally, I'd add Roundabout and Carry on My Wayward Son too.

Actually, after thinking about it a bit, I don't think I could narrow it down to 30...
The 70's Rolling Stones, with all those great sidemen backing them up, came through with some gems - Gimmee Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Monkey Man, Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

I always thought Victim of Love by Eagles had a great intro.

Is that the song Jackson Browne covered? I love Jackson's version; haven't heard Danny O' Keefe's. Always liked his "Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues."

Most of them are "just" starting with a genius (guitar theme) Pink Floyd Wish You were here absolutely belong on such a list. Just as I would say Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" does, and maybe Steely Dan's "Hey Nineteen" Steppenwolf has quite a few good starts - e.g. Gang War Blues and Straight Shootin Woman

To me it means, what intro, as soon as your hear it, makes you go "Oh yeah!"
For example..."Money For Nothing"
