Two of the most classic intros for me are:

Every little thing she does is magic- The Police.

Rio-Duran Duran.

If you are going with Smashing Pumpkins, I'd say Silverfrick.

I've always been partial to Nitzer Ebb's Getting Closer as a GOAT song intro.

Proof is in that video time stamp.

One step, twoooooo steps, getting closer.

Alan Wilder produced Come Alive for Nitzer Ebb. The intro and that 45 second mark on a quality sound system is pretty great too

Traffic - Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys

Ever wonder why you never hear anyone covering this song, from the local high school prom band to any famous rock star?
It's cuz they are in awe of the original and could never come close to it.
