i gotta go with black sabbaths intro to the song "sweetleaf" ..that rhythmic "coughing" that goes right into the guitar riff is very cool!!!
I'm very fond of the intro for Wish You Were Here. The whole radio/playing along with the radio thing really evokes the mood.
just thought of a gooood one.....alice coopers "welcome to my nightmare" with vincent price speaking......now dont touch the exhibits little boy....
I got two: For quirkyness- Alice in Chains - God Am *Bong rip* "Sure God is all powerful but does he have lips?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHNv3Hm9Jig"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHNv3Hm9Jig For musicanship- Metallica-Battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYYd2zxeOEM"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYYd2zxeOEM
Necrophagia's Mental Decay. They used part of Night on Bald Mountain as an intro and it sounds so fucking good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvQO19m0UdI"]Necrophagia - Mental Decay - YouTube
here's a couple that come to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QK-XUsKb00"]Bue Swede - Hooked On A Feeling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12pywl9zNIE"]Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
thought of one more...the intro to van halens "poundcake" where eddie uses the electric drill with his guitar....kinda cool...
Lol, barblues. I actually like BJ Thomas' version a little better, but they (I'm forgetting their name right now) definitely made that song memorable.
