Best Song Intro of All Time?

What do y'all think? My vote would have to go to GNR for "Welcome to the Jungle." I think it's actually the best part of the song, even though I like the rest of it. :)

Personally, I'd have to say Creed's Higher. It get's me pumped when I hear it. Also AB's One Day Remains is amazing. Also Metallica's One or Minus Human. Metallica has some awesome intros (as well as everything else :D).

H-D :pimp:

My personal favorite, if I had to name one, is The Who's Baba O'Riley.
When it comes to Creed, my favorite is Mark's intro to Faceless Man and his acoustic intro to What's This Life For
When it comes to AB, I LOVE Mark's intro to almost everything on the cd and Mark and Flip kick major ass on One Day Remains and Metallingus.
