..all these and many many more....

I was just reading this and thinking I couldn't believe no-one had suggested Pinball Wizard (well, someone might have but as youtube is blocked in work, I couldn't tell).

Good call on Phantom of the Opera. Pinball Wizard was also used on an advert around the same time, the guy walked up to a cash machine and the whole building turned into a pinball machine. I still hum the into if I ever have to go to a cash machine.

Seven Seas of Rhye - I saw Queen live at Knebworth 86, as the piano kicked in, the euphoria in the crowd was immense.

I vote Fiji Dave as the doyen of intro choices

[MattS]

Have we done these yet

Wanna Be Your Dog (Iggy Pop)
Rock n Roll Star (Journey
The Chain (Fleetwood Mac) - not proud

Ooh and the best ring tone intro ever
Hello, (U2)

[Prometheus]

Ride of the Valkyrie........some geezer called Wagner.

[RobA]

Enola Gay - OMD
Waterfront? - Simple Minds

Mad World - Donnie Darko/Gears of War Version...

[Fiji Dave]

actually just noticed Whoji volunteered Iron Maiden - Phantom of the opera earlier in the thread, so that's 3 votes for it so far!


And I have a couple of contenders for the "pop" category - if any one else knows the first song even exists I'll be bloody amazed....

Welcome To The Monkey House - by Animal Magnet - as a much younger lad I used to whirl like a dervish to this at school discos!

"Blue Monday" - New Order

[bigfeller]

Some not mentioned...

Faith No More - As The Worm Turns


Pixies - Isla de Encanta



Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bein Ein Auslander (particularily worth watching this as it's on Irish tv and playing to a bunch of old dears)


Classic! - Black Sabbath - Paranoid


This song rock hard - especially live British Sea Power - Remember Me

Inspired.

And as an intro to the truly sublime Voi Che Sapete, an excellent choice.

[Paulus]

Ok, I know less about music than I do about diving but I can't believe that no one picked this:




Yes I know Bob is a knob. This predates his arsehole era....(can I say that?)

Rush 2112 always good to see live especially when you look around and see all the " air drummers " going along with it............lol

I loves FNM, have been revisiting their albums a lot recently! Not too keen on the last one but up to 'King for a Day' they're great!

I blame an ex boyfriend for my love of Rush, he's a drummer and would constantly practice the solos from 2112 on my knees when he couldn't get to his kit
