A lot to choose from here. I'll start with three. Obviously, I chose the rock and roll genre for mine.

Brown Sugar

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

These two jumped to my mind, along with Satisfaction and Gimme Shelter.

I’ll also add Hotel California.

There a ton to choose from in every genre and some great ones already posted.

I'll try something different and post my two favorite metal intros:

Metallica's No Leaf Clover from S&M:

Machine Head's Imperium:

Metallica's Welcome Home (Sanitarium):

You may have guessed I like Metallica.

I’m not a huge John Cougar (Mellencamp) guy, but the intro to “I Need a Lover (Who Won’t Drive Me Crazy)” is epic.

“Hey hey mama said the way you move gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove!”

“Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with sad intent hey Aqualung”

“So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain”

My candidate for the best intro to a live version of a song (compared to the original studio version) is:

Yours is No Disgrace (from Yessongs)
