Too many for me to name, to be honest. The guitars at the beginning of the Spinners' "I'll Be Around" and Betty Wright's "Clean Up Woman" come to mind immediately. The horns at the beginning of "Grazing In The Grass" do, as well. I believe all of my favorite songs stir me within the first eight notes. Another great one is Smokey singing against the chorded horns to start "Shop Around".

[TomatoTom123]

Oh, of course... The incredibly fast drumroll followed by Edwin's almighty chant: "WAR!"

[TomatoTom123]

Not sure if it really counts but the intro to The Jackson Five's "I Want You Back" has to be one of the best and most enjoyable in the history of pop and soul music... it gets me every time! :)

I've been meaning to post this for a while now but keep forgetting... :D

"Seven Rooms Of Gloom" by The Four Tops

[Jerry Oz]

"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson has one of the hippest, most unique and instantly recognizable intros of its time period

[arr&bee]

In the beginning there was nothing but rock-baby that's rock an roll[the coasters].

[Jerry Oz]

Chuck Berry had the most exciting intros in the '50s. You knew the upcoming song based on the guitar riff at the beginning [[think of the simulated school bell at the beginning of "School Days").

[Jerry Oz]

Also, one of the most recognizable vocal intros was Smokey singing "When I became of age..."

It's easy to make that tune in six notes.

[arr&bee]

One of the best guitarist ever.

[Jerry Oz]

If you recognize the distinction between rock 'n roll and rock, you know that he's the father of rock.

[144man]

The long instrumental intros to "Martha & the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" and Eddie Holland's "Leaving Here".
