"Tube Staion" was down on my list. Another of the Woking wonders is "Funeral Pyre"... that drumming is so Moon influenced. Fabulous.

This thread could go for some distance, but when I saw the title, my most immediate thought was Stone Roses - Breaking Into Heaven...

Another good one- and without rubbing in, I saw the Eagles in 1977 just after Joe Walsh joined and this was the opening song to the concert-quite amazing.

Re: Best intro you've ever heard?

Maybe not everyone's cup of char but Joe Jackson's "It's different for girls" intro + the whole song really evokes good memories.
