bombtrack, by rage against the machine.

Pink Floyd - "Time"

"Little Doll" - Thin White Rope. Effin' TITANIC.

David Bowie-"Width of a Circle"
Weather Girls-"It's Raining Men"
Jethro Tull-"Locomotive Breath"
Neneh Cherry-"Buffalo Stance"
Elton John-"Funeral for a Friend"/"Love Lies Bleeding"
Aerosmith-"Back in the Saddle"

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"?

The small electrical storm of feedback that flickers before the most powerful riff ever written kicks in on Pantera's 'By Demons Be Driven'.

Fishbone's "Black Flowers" has one of the most frighteningly heavy intros ever.

The Who -- Baba O' Riley

Iancu Dumitrescu - "Galaxy" probably owns this, really.
Beethoven - Symphony No 5

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"

sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 31 January 2003 04:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Not all of those are necessarily epic builds though.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 31 January 2003 04:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Like, the Beethoven and Rush ones are more just giant statements.)

Beethoven Symphony with epic intro = #9?

Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Friday, 31 January 2003 07:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Deep Purple - Lazy, from "Made in Japan"
quoting Louie, Louie in your intro ---> classic

''Iancu Dumitrescu - "Galaxy" probably owns this, really''

Did anyone mention My Forgotten Favourite yet?

jm (jtm), Friday, 31 January 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Velocity Girl - "My Forgotten Favorite"

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.

"To Hell With Poverty" by Gang of Four

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 31 January 2003 18:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

sundar, and Paul in SC - on the Ludwig van tip, insted of (or, okey, alonside) #5 and #9, seventh symphony's 3rd movement has a helluva epic build-up, surely!

The "Simon Says" sample is nicked from (read: "is") the theme from the 1960s Godzilla flicks.

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
