wateroftyne Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If we're specifically talking chords, then Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Or Hemispheres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Tracks of my tears - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. 50 years old and still does it for me. Honky Tonk Woman - Stones. That cowbell / drum sound / guitar thing is just so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Tootstick Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The harmonica intro to school by supertramp is a really spine tingly start, proper builds the song up. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzodog Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I thought the OP meant openings to albums? If so then although not popular on here i think U2s streets have no name opening the joshua tree is great. If we are just doing songs then my fav is she sells sanctuary. Over played but still a classic riff which gets better when drums and bass kick in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lust in Jazz Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449263997' post='2922155'] Quite a lot of Joni Mitchell's stuff; here's just one ...

Graham Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I was surprised when we ended our set at a wedding a couple of weeks ago with Thinking Out Loud and thenopening chords really did send a shiver down my spine. It's a good song, but I was surprised by my reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The last song on the album... actually, it's not even credited and hidden after a couple of minutes of silence... Ether Song by Turin Brakes stops me in my tracks every time and the way those first fragile chords sneak in genuinely do make the hairs stand on the back of my neck [media]http://youtu.be/qeyjeyzU1ak[/media] Edited December 5, 2015 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The bagpipes and mandolin intro to Copperhead Road (Steve Earle). So much so that Mrs Japhet is getting me a mandolin for Christmas. Hope she dowsn't get me bagpipes for my birthday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Meanwhile.. While not really a child of 'pop-goth' I've always liked this intro from John McGeogh http://youtu.be/M7JHA-WXnvY and this from Carl Orff http://youtu.be/AdIpoE2LEps There are a lot.

ratman Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1449257053' post='2922074'] an opening chord that does it, and probably the first time such an intro was used, though no doubt someone will be along very soon to prove me wrong, again, A Hard Days Night, [/quote] This one does it for me too. I just found an interesting link that tells the story of that chord - http://www.beatlesbible.com/features/hard-days-night-chord/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Good choice, it always creates a hightened sense of awareness for me when I hear the opening. They don't make B-sides like that anymore.
