I caught the intro of Van Halen’s Dreams and realized I always crank it. That might be my favorite intro song from my youth. Thoughts? What do you love and crank when you hear it?

My favorite Intro.
Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

This being the first thing you hear when you play the album, it doesn't get much better.

Boston, "Foreplay / Long Time"

^^^ Also, that "Foreplay" intro is used as a prominent sample in the intro to Girl Talk's "Night Ripper" album (some vocals probably NSFW), which is great in its own way.

"Papa Was a Rolling Stone" is an outstanding choice.
I can't find the quote, but one of the Temps said that he kept waiting for his cue to begin singing, but the intro kept on going.... Is this my cue? Nope the strings come in here. Now? Nope, this is a horn part. And so on...
It started to get him angry and frustrated... and then all that emotion got released in the vocals. It put that little bite in "It was the 3rd of September".Comment
