iam90sbaby 2,121 Posted March 4, 2016 Boston Foreplay/Long Time. I was going to say Teenage Wasteland - maybe over played to the older generation, but still a great song with a unique intro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,010 Posted March 4, 2016 I was going to say Teenage Wasteland - maybe over played to the older generation, but still a great song with a unique intro. I was trying to post that one, but links are wierd on tablet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iam90sbaby 2,121 Posted March 4, 2016 I was trying to post that one, but links are wierd on tablet. Yeah I know what you mean. To me the biggest difference difference between todays "mainstream" and back in the day "mainstream" is back in the day, songs became popular because they were actually very good songs, and were never meant to be number one songs. (I mean they were but you know what I mean) Today songs are written with the specific reason to be #1 on the Billboard 100 for a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted March 4, 2016 Probably done before but heard an old Zep tune today and made me think of just how great the intro is,what do you got.... Always been one of my top 3 Zep songs. I would have to add to this list: Welcome to the Jungle by gnr. Just gets you really pumped up when played at the proper volume. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 4,010 Posted March 4, 2016 Most would go with Eruption/You Really Got Me or maybe Hot For Teacher, but my fav Van Halen intro: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 831 Posted March 4, 2016 I always like this and at one time it was the longest intro (without a separate title ie: Funeral for a Friend). 2:29 before lyrics start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 831 Posted March 4, 2016 If Funeral for a Friend and Eruption count - it's a tie. Strongest start to a song without a doubt it is Layla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUXBNME 1,322 Posted March 4, 2016 Lay It Down-Ratt One of my all time favorites. Good call But not my favorite from Ratt I like two others above that. #2 #1 Nothing like one of the most talented guitarist of his generation tuning his Charvel down to a D with a stack of Marshalls behind him. CRUNCH personified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUXBNME 1,322 Posted March 4, 2016 Dumb question...Do instrumentals count? If so then Mr Scary had a great opening hook Too bad Mr Lynch couldn't reproduce his studio versions as well live. Still a guitar god Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,010 Posted March 4, 2016 Thank you Sir I Cringe when called teenage wasteland. Finally got curious enough to google the title: Roger Daltrey sings most of the song, with Pete Townshend singing the middle eight: "Don't cry/don't raise your eye/it's only teenage wasteland". The song's title is a combination of the names of two of Townshend's philosophical and musical influences, Meher Baba and Terry Riley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
