Songs with the most Awsome Intro

[chromewarriorXIII]

Masquerade by Symphony X. It starts with orchestral instruments before breaking into metal.

 

[Zombie Nixon]

Money for Nothing

I can't think of any song with a better opening riff

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

Libera me from Hell, the operatic version of Rap kan no Tamashii da.

[Code Monkey]

Code Monkey by Jonathon Coulton, because it- Aw, Hell. I just love the song.
I guess I'll say

GHOST LOVE SCORE, BICH
No matter what the criteria, this song wins.

 

[Godhead]

Metalocalypse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3uyq7YK4XI&feature=related

 

[Ranis]

Well I say nothing beats the Overture to 2112 by Rush.
except maybe Fight Fire With Fire by Metallica.
or possibly the gnarly intro to Honor Thy Father by Dream Theater.

 

[Taerdin]

Probably something epic like this: (yes the song is split into 3 parts)

Or this epic song: (yes this one is also split into three parts. I learned the little intro bit and I love playing it over and over and over and ov...)

Actually there's tons of epic songs I listen to... so... I'll just stop there

 

[superbleeder12]

assassin or knights of cydonia by muse have great intros

Death Rides a Horse by Russian circles is probably one of the most epic intros for a song ever

 

[Blackadder51]

The Final Countdown, now that is a brilliant intro

 

[SultanP]

I have to admit that the Power Rangers theme springs to mind.

 

[Bobkat1252]

Revelations, by Audioslave is my personal choice

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

The Final Countdown, naturally

Damn it now I got the tune in my head.

 

[A random person]

Questions 67 & 68 by Chicago and Knights of Cydonia by Muse.

Code Monkey by Jonathon Coulton, because it- Aw, Hell. I just love the song.
I guess I'll say

No matter what the criteria, this song wins.

Or this.

 

[Craig FTW]

This war is our (the guillotine part II) by Escape the fate.

Oh my God YES.
that's why I have Craig as my pic!
Also it's This War Is Ours.

 

[Brnin8]

Mastodon's Oblivion intro is amazing, as is Number of the Beast and so many Iron Maiden tunes,
same with Dream Theater and most prog bands.
