Solo (I’m counting a breakdown to drop as one…fight me)

3:00 in

Funny you included that in the opening post, as seeing the title and before entering the thread, Parabol was what first jumped to mind, as it’s effectively an entire track that’s an intro. And was the song that got me into Tool

Going only by what first springs to mind, the intro of A7X Nightmare also goes on my list

I’m doing a mixture of genres

Does this count as an intro to Eye in the Sky?

There are just so many I couldn’t possibly pick one or three so maybe a few not first in people’s minds

As a guitarist;

Intro: Princes of the Universe, Queen
Intro: Love Spreads, Stone Roses

Solo: The Crossroads, duelling with The Devil of course! I’m cheating cos it’s a duel but this just kicks the shit. A combination of forms, technique vs feel, rhythms and drama:

You need to sit through until the coup de grace from 5:00 to 6:32.

Outro: Smooth, Santana feat. Rob Thomas

Non-guitar

Intro: Vocal, Feelin’ Good, any version (Nina, Michael, Muse…)

https://youtu.be/D5Y11hwjMNs

Solo: Cello, Elgar Cello Concerto E Minor

https://youtu.be/xhdNIzdAJ_4

Solo: Piano, The Entertainer, Scott Joplin

Outro: Vocal, Black, Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam

Hotel California is one of my absolute favourite things to play on the guitar.

Great list IMHO.

I am word for word on civil war. Imagine my surprise when I watched cool hand Luke one day…

I actually got married to adagio for strings…at least it was one of the songs soundtracking our wedding! Still married…just…

And paint it black may be the perfect “pocket” rock song. 3 minutes of grrr…just awesome.

Back as a youngster, when I played a bit of piano (badly), The Entertainer was a staple piece for learning to syncopate… easy to play, really hard to play well.

Also love the intro of How soon is now by The Smiths.
