invisible airwave Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 8 hours ago, tangy said: Space intro- fly like an eagle by Steve Miller 1984 to jump by Van Halen Not sure if they count as they are two songs but serve as intros? How's about Your time is gonna come by led zep Planet Claire by the B52s I'd add their most underrated song, Night Flight from Physical Graffiti. JPJ just flat out dominates that song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 thinking about this made me realize how few keyboard intros there really are. piano / acoustic guitar intros are everywhere, but not plain keyboard. Close To The Edge doesn't count but was one i wanted to mention right off the bat Octavarium by Dream Theater might have counted too, since it's a long intro and the at the climax of it is Jordan Rudess.. Only i realized he's playing it on a steel guitar using heavy effects, so that's also not a keyboard intro. Frank Zappa doesn't have many keyboard intros, if i were to name one i'd just be naming it for the sake of discovering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several entries on Beato's list were piano intros. I see no reason to consider the piano as a keyboard instrument that needs its own list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) (incidentally the pre-chorus to this song has some of my favorite guitar playing from Tabor, maybe in his top 25 guitar riffs) Edited November 13, 2022 by Mr. Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
