The only hard rock track used as the theme song for a syndicated television show (The New Music).
Hosted, originally by Jeanne Beker and a certain JD (John) Roberts.

Songs with a great intro
- Thread starter Claudel Xerxes

Ok thread over!
Hardly . . . long intro . . . short song. GREAT track.

"I took out a Chihuahua!"
‘Heart of The Sunrise’ by, YES ... three-plus minutes of great intro
And ‘Parallels’ by yes, YES ... complements of Steve Howe & Rick Wakeman’s sometimes overbearing keyboardery.

The Funk Brothers, Robert White with one of the, if not the most recognizable guitar rift intros ever ... that is if you’re old enough to remember
This is how Yes started their concerts for many years:
First with Siberian Khatru:
And then with Parallels (after Going for the One was released):
I humbly submit the opening guitar riff to the Black Keys "Gold on the Ceiling"
I was also going to mention Zeppelin's version of "When the Levee Breaks" but someone else has already brought it up. Bonham's opening drums....man that's good stuff.....Another Zeppelin one that has a classic opening drum riff by Bonham that I love is "D'yer Mak'er"
And I'll submit one more class opening guitar riff that I absolutely love. "Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top
Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Weezer - Say It Ain't So
ZZ Top - La Grange
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville
Earth, Wind & Fire - September

I remember JD Roberts doing a show on CITY TV called 4 O'Clock Rock. I think it was a hit parade of videos. That was back around the mid 1980s. Time does fly!
I think Miles Davis' So What has a great intro.
... or Straphangin' of course:
