I always liked the cool guitar intro to Tull's "Pibroch (Cap in Hand)" from Songs from the Wood.
I used to BLAST it in my hifi/big-monster-loudspeaker days.

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.

Thanks for introducing Carmen. I had never heard of them before. Interesting style combination :)

The greatest prog intro IMHO is heard in the opening track Viva Mi Sevilla by Carmen off their 1974 album Dancing On A Cold Wind.....absolutely torrid, climatic and spine tingling ...there are more adjectives but I can't put them all down here. Just listen and be in awe...please! Edited by BarryGlibb - May 29 2019 at 03:52 |

There are actually a lot of good ones. I don't know if anyone else on here knows this one(and maybe it's not quite prog anyway) but I like the intro to "children of the sun" by Billy Thorpe.

yes watcher is great. If we were doing endings, I think Musical Box is the best and Entangled a close second

Heavily agree with Firth of Fifth. When I think of iconic intros, it's the first thing that comes to mind.

The opening sequence to The Trees by Rush is excellent too.

Of traditional prog numbers, I have to acknowledge "Watcher of the Skies." Majesty.

Honorable mention goes to Atalantia by Aquacadia. That's a long intro, but I love how it builds up to the rocking complex chord riff.

Four good ones are Steve Howe on Roundabout (Yes), Steve Howe on Don't Cry (Asia), the amazing percussion buildup before Mark Knopfler chimes in on Money for Nothing (Dire Straits), and the Prelude on Feel the Fire (Barnabas).
