I do have a soft spot for Motorway City. Back in the eighties, there seemed to be a multitude of keyboard/synth openings to this which really set the mood. However, it is a track totally beholden to Huw Lloyd Langton’s guitar, very much of the less is more and darn right effective variety.

I always liked the intro to Paint it Black by the Stones.

Best intro is clearly Papa Was A Rolling Stone by The Temptations. Unmatched anywhere.

 

[Marchbanks]

Well, it's Tutti Frutti, isn't it? Surely? Even if you don't like the song?

I always thought the intro to Quadrophenia is pretty special too - into The Real Me:
