Okay, we've had favourite guitar solos, so how about your favourite intro?
For me it's a close thing between the Stones' Honky Tonk Women and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising.
To me the drum intro for Honky Tonk Women is so instantly recognisable that you only have to hear the first few taps of the cowbell and you know exactly what the record is. And credit to Jimmy Miller for producing arguably the best sounding drum kit ever scratched onto vinyl.
The same with Bad Moon Rising. Those opening chords have always sent shivers up my spine.
One of the best rock and roll records ever made.

Hi Spike,
Johnny Burnette Trio's Please Don't Leave Me played by Grady Martin. Magical playing all the way through come to that! Also a lot of 7ths without thirds that sound a lot like they were borrowed by Keith Richards later on. The phrasing in that number is one of the strangest I have ever heard and Grady manages to fit it all together perfectly, apart from one small slip that is barely noticeable.
Regards,
Charlie

Bit of useless information regarding Bad Moon Rising. The song is actually in D but John Fogerty tunes his guitar down a tone so he plays the song in E. That enables him to do the lead licks a lot easier.
On a similar subject, the Beatles' Yesterday is in the key of F, but live McCartney often has an acoustic tuned down a tone so he plays it in G. Presumably the open chords fill the sound out a bit more?

Dear Spike
I think you've opened a big can of worms here!
Here are a few of my favourites :
Fireball - Deep Purple
Heroes - Bowie
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
Wendy - Beach Boys
Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood and the Destroyers
I better stop now ! Great thread though.

That opening chord on 'Hard Day's Night' is a great start to a song, as is the one Chuck Berry uses on 'No Particular Place To Go'.

I know its not lead guitar, but I loved the Bass intro on the track 'Money' from the Pink Floyd album 'Dark Side Of the Moon'.
