Song intros that give you the chills

[IntelligentInputDarling]

Well mine is really cheesy but I just heard Robin Beck's First Time, and I got the chills and was transported back to the summer of 89 again!

One day like this - Elbow
Wonderful life - Black
Livin’ thing - ELO
Don’t Stop - Fleetwood Mac

The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen
She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
How Soon is Now - The Smiths
Born To Die - Lana del Rey

millionth vote for Gimme Shelter, but also:

Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others – The Smiths

Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty

Sax solo played by David Niven I believe

Yes to whoever suggested Sinéad singing The Foggy Dew.
Also- the opening lines of Luke Kelly singing On Raglan Road.
Christy Moore 's Welcome to the Cabaret on the Live at the Point album- his 5 minute chatty intro to the night- such positive energy from the crowd knowing they're going to enjoy it.

Great thread! I'll add the Temptations' Papa was a Rolling Stone and Elastica's Connection.

Worst intro: Dexy’s Midnight Runners – This Is What She’s Like

Great song but for some reason it begins with about a minute of a half-audible mumbled conversation. Total buzz killer.

Agree completely. As a very young Australian tourist, he had me trudging up and down Baker Street a few times. Also I later worked in Scotland for a year, but had to frequently travel to London. "City to City" and its train noise got a mental workout at that time. That was truly memorable album.

It was played by Rafael Ravenscroft who apparently later inaccurately claimed to have created it, until an old, earlier clip of Rafferty playing it on a guitar surfaced.

I have to agree with all of these!

Seven Devils - Florence
Stay With Me - the Faces
Numb - Linkin Park
Extreme Ways - Moby

Careless whisper

Gimme Shelter
Purple Rain
Love is the Drug
El Condor Pasa

Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears for Fears

Absolutely!
