As I said earlier in this thread, the intro to "Close to the Edge" even has its own intro. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I love to put on my dancing shoes to the opening to Xanadu too - just before Olivia Newton John & ELO enter the stage - and featuring the late great Gene Kelly.  |

Yep that Knights Of Cydonia intro is classic although it does remind of an earlier song by another English band The Heavy called Short Change Hero (used effectively as the theme music in an SAS army hero TV series that I forget the name of)

Great one, though I'd go for "Can You Hear Me?" first. |

Rachel Flowers "The Darkness."
I'm not sure if this can be an intro considering it is over a third of the song. The intro is the first 3:40 seconds of a 10:03 song. If you listen you can hear little bits of the intro throughout the rest of the song and then in the last 45 seconds she bookends the song with a bit of the intro. |

Not prog, but Ace of Spades by Motorhead, or Rainbow's Lost in Hollywood

This right here ^^^ About a year and a half ago, I sat down and played this for my piano teacher. She is a classically trained musician and she loved it. I ended learning it over the course of 3 weeks, and have played it non-stop ever since. Absolutely amazing song and intro.

Whoa! I've listened to that since 1977, and had no idea that there was originally a synth part. Very cool.
