My own band has at least 4 songs with intros that would fit this description on our album, and another 4 not on our album.

Nothing special about the intro, but Daliance ala The Wedding Present has a gradual and progressive build up. However, since it's the first track on the album, unless you have the volume suitable loud when it starts, you find the need to contantly turn it up as the song progresses. ¥

Do spoken word intros count? Like Bowie's "Future Legend"/"Diamond Dogs", or Motley Crue's "In the Beginning"/"Shout at the Devil"? Or cheering crowd intros, like the Bay City Rollers' "Yesterday's Heroes" or the Sweet's "Teenage Rampage"?

Rush - "Anthem"Yes - "Heart Of the Sunrise"
Those two are easily the best things about their respective songs. "Anthem" might be the best intro to any album.
Def Leppard - "Women"'Heart - "Crazy On You"Voivod - "The Unknown Knows"Fugazi - "Do You Like Me?"Andrew WK - "It's Time To Party"

also on the Slumberland label, The Ropers - "You Have a Light." That band had a knack for great openings.
and for one nobody's heard, Curtain Society - "mouthwithout" ... a local (Boston) shoegazer band with a killer opening riff and powerful drum intro.

Close to the Edge -- it's like you're having this relaxing day at the beach, and the electronic seagulls are gently cooing, but then you notice this speck in the distance -- a robotic surfer riding a devastating tidal wave that is getting closer and closer
