Cow bell. Drums. Funky guitar. "I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis."

It's more than 30 seconds...the instrumental intro to "I Need a Lover" by John Mellencamp
The beginning of "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac, you instantly know what song you are listening to.

Another that gets me pumped up is Dr. Dre's..."Next Episode". The beat is BBS with Snoop in the background.

Some more obscure, but amazing song intros:
Dag - Worldspinning
Ben Harper - Ground on Down
Spacehog - In the Meantime
Less obscure:
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Funky Monks
311 - Homebrew
..there are a zillion more, and these probably wouldn't be my favorite if I spent some time to think about it, but those were the first to come to mind when I heard the question..

I just love the drums at the start of 'Hot For Teacher' by Van Halen
Instantly recognizable. Somber, memory-provoking notes from the piano/harmonica combo:

The Rolling Stones "Can't You Hear me Knocking"
Great riff for sure. It opens the movie "Blow" perfectly.

Give it a listen...

Santana's intro on black magic woman and the first 45 of Audioslave's "Cochise"
Accept's Fast as a Shark is one of my favorites.

+1!
Good memories. OTHAFA + 12 string guitar + college girl + alcohol = A Very Good Evening!
And to add...

"Little Wing" - Either the Hendrix or SRV version
"All Along the Watchtower" - Hendrix version
"Green Manalishi" - (original version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h6J2W17V9A
