    not my favorite, but I love the intro to 'Last night I dreamed somebody loved me' by The Smiths.
    sounds really wierd, like a group of screaming souls... or something :P

    There are probably a few I've forgotten, but those are definitely top of my list.

    Nice to see someone else here who appreciates Savatage :)

    I'd do a list but i'm tired. And I agree with this guy for most songs anyway, so i'll quote him.

    Probably Metallica's Battery... I really don't think you can get a more distinctive classical acoustic intro to a Metal song than it.

    And for the absolute cheese-factor, The End Of This Chapter by Sonata Arctica.
    If you've heard this, you'll know why I mention it. :D
