Best opening bars to songs 08:38 - Jun 8 with 12010 viewswoodbridge_blue

With The Eagles performing their last ever concerts in the UK this week (although we heard that before) it got me thinking about the best, most instantly recognisable opening bars to songs.

Hotel California has to be up there.

Teenage Kicks maybe?

Others?

Short, edgy intro to a terrific choon from a long time ago now.



By coincidence, I also bought that album, and remember thinking ten years after it was released "was it really ten years since it was released?"

Love these intros (whether they qualify as just the opening bars I’m not sure, but hey!)

Here's a few with great intros from a band that influenced the Stone Roses, the first two songs featuring Bobby Gillespie.

Probably the best cover version of all time IMO, followed by Bryan Ferry's version of "Jealous Guy".
