I'm pretty sure that sweet child o mine is the most popular intro of all time.

My favorite will always be Cortez the Killer by Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

So, I don't think anyone's posted rap yet, so I'll try.

(Obligatory, rap sucks statement)

UGK ft Outkast, International Players Anthem (I'm counting 3 Stacks's verse as the intro):

LINK

Warren G and Nate Dogg, Regulators:

LINK

DMX, Intro to It's Dark and Hell is Hot (this goofy, but it was also an awesome entrance song for Mike Tyson, and I like it):

This has got to be near the top IMO. John Lennon on his Epiphone Casino.

It's not my absolute favorite rap verse of all time, but it's top ten.

He uses islands vs peninsulas as a metaphor for marriage and monogamy.

This answer has to be unequivocally Smoke on the Water or We Will Rock You.

Nothing else comes close.

In the older rock genre, I know this board is not huge on Springsteen, but I've always loved the Born in the USA intro.

The drums particularly are so sharp and hammer you.
