What songs REALLY grab you from the first few notes? From the very first few seconds I ever heard these song on the radio, I knew I was gonna love the rest of the tune. To this day I reach for the volume nob to enjoy the intros.

1. Summer Nights - VH
2. Turn Up the Radio - Autograph
3. Voodoo Chile - SRVs live version still knocks me out!
4. Welcome to the Jungle - GnR
5. Stranglehold - Uncle Ted
6. Just Between You and Me - April Wine
7. The Zoo - Scorpions
8. Run to the Hills - Maiden
9. Lay it Down - Ratt
10. Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders
11. Run Like Hell - Floyd
12. Photograph- Def Leppard

I could go on, but I'd rather hear yours!

my favorite intro of all time the beginning of two step by dave matthews.. Its just so raw and gritty.. Does an Acoustic guitar, fiddle, and bass player playing slide on a bass count as driven?
