California dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas.
Modeify the Pronunciation by The Devil Wears Prada
Narcolepsy by ben folds :-)
Dream On - Aerosmith
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
The Unforgiven - Metallica
Try to listen to the song SMILES AND JOKES by White China. What a riff, what a beat!
anything on city of evil by avenged sevenfold; mainly burn it down (wait for the guitars) and betrayed. also u cant go wrong with pantera or dragonforce.
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
mean street...van halen.off the fair warning album
Great White Buffalo- Ted Nugent
It's a tie between So Cold (Breaking Benjamin) and When I'm Gone (3 Doors Down). The second one might seem odd, but the guitar work just caught my attention and kept it- kickarse song. :)
Hotel California by The Eagles

dancing through sunday-AFI
"Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas
To answer this, you have to go BACK to when artist tried to convey a mood and spirit to a short-song, and worked at it themselves... now (sorry) and even since Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson (nice sound, right?) simply tore/reused an old Sly/Family Stone riff (Family Affair)... it's the same things over & over & over... for this, you must kickit old skool...
(hon. mention, for NO intro!
All My Loving & She Loves You - Beatles)
Ok...
Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Angie - Rolling Stones
Honky Tonk Woman - Rolling Stones
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
Layla - Eric Clapton
Black Dog - Led Zep
Heartbreaker - Led Zep
Heartbreaker - Rolling Stones
House of the Rising Sun -- Animals
Break on Through - The Doors
Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra
Surfer Girl - Beach Boys
I Wonder Why - Dion & the Belmonts
Oh Carol - Chuck Berry
Blue Moon - Orig.
Welcome to the Jungle -- Guns & Roses
Mysterious Ways - U2
After these songs, artists just added/tried to out-do (like Hotel California is ONLY a re-do of Keith Richards' Angie...) You have to go back, to the originals for the best ways it was done...
For me, it has to be the harmonica intro to Led Zep's When The Levee Breaks. It just sound's so....haunting, epic, titanic...awesome. For me, this is the perfect intro for anyone like a wrestler. It would announce your presence like a descent from the heavens.
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
