In no order:
Growth - VH - Not the longest or "best" I guess, but still a great beat and always left me wishing they would have completed this "song".
Everybody Wants Some - I actually do like this better than HFT.
Hot For Teacher of course.Last edited by Double Down; 04.15.07 at 08:05 PM.

AFU Naturally Wired has always been a fave of mine. I remember when they opened with this in '88...Al came in with the drums, then Ed doing his thing, then they kicked it into high gear. An AWESOME way to start a show!

Good thread, I always thought VH has had the best song intros of all time (whether it's drums or guitar).
Outside of VH intros:
Jimi Hendrix Experience - I don't live today (especially on the live version from The Jimi Hendrix Concerts - totally awesome).
