    Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane
    Cake - Shadow Stabbing

    Not the best of all time but they've just got something easy and sexy about them.

    I'll have to think of other ones, they're just stuck in my head.

    I have so many, OP. :)

    Airbag (track 1, OK Computer), by Radiohead springs to mind.

    EDIT: Gimme Shelter, Smells Like Teen Spirit, I Wanna Be Adored and Baba O Reilly are just a few of the previously mentioned that I love too. :cool:

    Love Hotel California random intros by The Eagles. Though in fairnest, any untro to that song would necessaarily be awesome. Even the sound of a toilet flushing would be a good intro if it preceeded Hotel California. Epic!

    Race For The Prize - The Flaming Lips
    That count in gets me going every time, but I'm not sure if it counts for this thread. I think it's so good because I know what's coming after it, not because it's great on its own. Same thing applies to Like A Rolling Stone.

    My Iron Lung - Radiohead
    There's been a few Radiohead fans on here, and nobody's mentioned this? It's what the Digitech Whammy pedal was made for :)
