Has there ever been a better intro to a song than this?

John's Children ... Remember Thomas A Beckett
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6e0EOhmtmM

...or a worse one than this?

The Beatles ... All You Need Is Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbIjsUMFrY

Good thread! These stand the test of time:

Four Brothers (79):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwPrQOZlbak

Smiths (83):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGnjrTkv1gs

But I couldn't find a decent version of "Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard...but I think: OH BONDAGE UP YOURS! 1,2,3,4..."

I'll have to give the worst intros some thought, but anything by Blur would probably fit...

Funny how nobody has come up with one for the worst. Guess I must have set the bar too high with my choice!
Still think Remember Thomas A Beckett has the best intro of all, although Kev picked a cracker with The Ronettes and Ballroom Blitz was certainly worth a mention.

I think basically the intro to any fucking awful song would count. And there are a lot of those to pick from.

I was contemplating this the other month, actually.

This was my answer:

It's that key change, when the second wave of strings comes in... nothing beats that. Nothing.
