The mellotron intro to Strawb's "Hero & Heroinne" is very energetic! Also, the Strawb's much-under-appreciated John Hawken blows my mind with harpsichord in the title song of "Ghosts" |
Now you gonna make me mp3 both those albums ... I can't find Deadlines on CD, though ... and it is a very nice album.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Part I does a great job at putting you in the mood to listen to the rest of the album, and for that reason, it's my favourite intro.

Hessian Peel by Opeth. That riff in the beginning is great.

The Doors - Riders on the storm
Balleto Bi Bronzo - Introduzione or Epilogo
Led Zeppelin - Nobody's Fault but mine
Opeth - The Moor
Premiata forneria marconi - L'isola di niente
Renaissance - Mother Russia
Yes - Close to the Edge
Quella Vecchia locanda - Prologo
Genesis - Dancing with the moonlit knight
Area - L'elefante bianco
But the top spot is probably Gentle Giant - The Runaway or The Boys in the band

I love the opening to Trilogy. Very different to ELP's usual openers which tend to be loud and bombastic. That almost imperceptable heart beat and the slow building piano is spot on brilliant and sets the theme for Endless Enigma perfectly. |
This too, but I was refering to the song not the album. But both are very cool :) |
In fact all the songs have really good intros on this album |
Where does the intro end in Abaddon's Bolero?

Abbadon's Bolero, as Boleros in general is all intro

To me, the intro from "Machine Messiah" is excellent...
That guitar fading in just gives me goosebumps everytime..

The bass note which introduces the band on Atom Heart Mother after the initial brass and the motor crash.
Not properly an intro, but the "ooh" male voices (I think a Korg) which introduce Bryan Josh's guitar on the instrumental part of The Gap Is Too Wide
The acoustic guitar on Caravan's Winter Wine.
Camel's Nimrodel
Close to the Edge
Sometime's World (Wishbone Ash)
I may go ahead all the day.... let's stop here.

a couple i can think of...
2112 - Rush: when I first heard the swirling intro, i knew i was in for something special. and that album was probably my first real prog purchase.
Roundabout - Yes: Awesome harmonics.
My New World: Transatlantic

My Favourite Prog Intro is the beginning of Watcher of the Skies by Genesis. Just the atmoshpere Tony Banks creates with his Mark II Mellotron......Words cannot Describe. |
I generally don't find Genesis to be too enjoyable, but that intro is incredible. The way it builds and swells is masterful.

All mentioned are great intros. Of course, "The Revealing Science of God", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Behind The Lines", "Firth of Fifth", and let's not forget the intro to "Mama". Also, Anthony Phillips' "Scottish Suite" is way up there. And might as well include the Overture to Scenes From a Memory, but the solos, too, not just the opening power chords.
