nzoner 936 Posted March 4, 2016 Dumb question...Do instrumentals count? If so then Mr Scary had a great opening hook Hell yes they count and here's another one that needs to be played at maximum volume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TD Ryan2 315 Posted March 4, 2016 I guess the "intro" to Eminence Front is about 2 minutes long... and although the first 40 seconds or so get pretty repetitive, once it gets to the about the1 minute mark, it is just a bad-ass, cool, tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QaVzv5aR6U 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TD Ryan2 315 Posted March 4, 2016 I have always believed that this intro to "Streets Have no Name" from U2 at Sun Devil stadium is what truly propelled them to the status of world-super power rock group... they played "Bad" before it and the Bad-to-Streets combo is a surreal moment when seen live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrOix8wjnio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocolts 300 Posted March 8, 2016 How about the Windup for Locomotive Breath, from the band Jethro Tull??? Song is much better, but still worth a mention in this thread. I know there are a lot of Ian Anderson fans here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
