It's got to be Sirius:

 

[Darren L]

Perhaps not the greatest intro ever but I really like 'Push' off Head on the Door by The Cure.

 

[windhoek]

It's got to be Sirius:

Now that's what I call an intro!

 

[Daniel Gibson]

A proper statement of intent, the first track on their debut album

 

[James Evans]

Another Cure one. If you, er, skip the intro.... and go to 1.50... 100 Years... That opening sends my hairs on end still

 

[gassor]

In a word - majestic, 8 secs of musical ecstasy

 

[DipsyDave]

Might think of something different tomorrow or next week, but as of now, this one springs to mind...
August, by Love (from the grossly underrated album Four Sail).

 

[Gervais Cote]

Deep Purple - Lazy

Agree 100% !
Is there something similar nowadays or must I still listen to my 70’s rock songs again and again ?

I’m a child of simple tastes

Plus they get in a whole song by the time some of the dinosaurs of the time get out of the intro.

 

[Marchbanks]

I’m a child of simple tastes

Me too...

 

[gassor]

Song 2 (Blur) or Smells like ...(Nirvana)? Probably the latter.

 

[gassor]

How Soon is Now (Smiffs) or Gimme Shelter (Stones)? I'll go with Charlie and the Boys.

 

[gassor]

Billie Jean (Wacko) or Crazy in Love (Beyonce)?
