    Well, apparently you wen t on to read as far as that sentenced you quotedsiffle.gif

    But you're right...

    However, even the OP is flawed because two out of three of those "great intros" (the Sprinsteen is so-so, but the Lou reed is excellent)are concert versions, and nothing you could find on studio albums...

    What really kills is that sometimes you have an excellent intro for a very shitty tune
    For ex: I know EJ's Funeral For A Friend and Love Lies Bleeding are mainly/basically two different tracks, but LLB is such an unworthy follow-up (despite being still ok) for FFaF ....

    I never said it had to be exclusively about studio recordings.

    There really is no denying the power of The Love Gun intro:

    no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone

    There's a long story attached to my selection. But to keep it short: 'One Of These Nights' by The Eagles.
    A more modern, proggy choice would be 'La course aux papillons' by Ere G.

    I knew I was going overboard (I always do on these things, so sue me), but I have to admit, after I clicked send and saw the post, I was a bit aghast at how long it was. I didn't realize I had listed twenty four Kiss songs.

    But I stand by my list. Every last one of those songs has a bitchin' intro. Yes, even the Kiss songs. And it's not my fault if you turkeys can't be bothered to include a "ten items or less" clause in the OP (not that I would have noticed in this case, as I failed to catch the "instrumental intro" clause in the OP).

    They were literally two separate compositions, until Reg realized that one ended and the other started on the same chord, so I thought it'd be a clever idea to join the two together.

    I only cited three Quo songs (mainly the ones I knew off the top of my head, I don't have any of their albums or anything).

    I would have thought the disturbing part would have been the presence of things like Harper Valley PTA and Dschingis Khan, as well as the four (count em, FOUR) Rick Springfield songs.

    I guess that I forgot to tell you about the "Rick Springfield" clause.

    I assure you, I would have most definitely ignored any such clause. Be thankful I didn't include the Mission: Magic theme! That's got a pretty good intro too, though it's not instrumental. Australians with fake American accents RULE!!!

    I know you didn't but the thread title would imply that (or at least, it lead me to believe you'd mean it that way)

    No problems, thouggh. It's your thread

    You could always start a "Hate Bruce" thread. Just sayin'.

    Basically the only thing worthy on a very disappointing album

    The intro is 70's-ish greatness... the rest of the tracks is total 80's crap
