Top 12 Favorite Song Intros
« on: January 07, 2014, 07:57:01 am »

This list was created in a hurry, so I'm probably overlooking quite a few.

In no particular order:

Song Title    Artist
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5)Pink Floyd
New York City SerenadeBruce Springsteen
Someday BabyJerry Garcia & Merl Saunders
Gimme ShelterThe Rolling Stones
Us And ThemPink Floyd
Sweet Jane (Live)Lou Reed
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)Jimi Hendrix
Coming Back To LifePink Floyd
Memo From TurnerThe Rolling Stones
FMSteely Dan
Texas FloodStevie Ray Vaughan
Eminence FrontThe Who

Song outros is a much tougher category.  I'll have to give that one some thought.

AC/DC dirty deeds was always my favorite intro. (Not ready to poll my head for a top 12.)

If you like Voodoo Child, I did a youtube recording of it a few months ago on guitar, but didnt really nail the wah-wah-intro. Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile Stevie Ray Vaughn cover

I could have predicted that.   ;)

Sounds great, Dave!  I have no musical talent whatsoever, but I know what I like.

Tonight's homework assignment is "All Along the Watchtower".   :)

A couple of favorites that I neglected to mention originally:

Song Title        Artist        Reference
The FeverBruce Springsteen
It Keeps You Runnin'The Doobie Brothers

Both very simple.  It doesn't have to be complex to sound good.
