A Farewell to Kings! Maybe partly because when I hear the birds I can hear Geddy and Al recalling how nice it was recording that album in the countryside

Other great intros include

Cygnus X-1- A great eerie feeling created from the spoken monologue with the synth sounds.

Hemispheres- Love the way it just comes bursting out at you

2112- The synth noises are a perfect way to start the song

Finding My Way- Great opener riff, really gets you going, would be a great live opener

Anthem- Same here

Bastille Day- Again.

Not. But seriously The spirit of Radio is IMO a fantastic intro. One of the best song intro's ever written.

As a opposite of Best song ending, here are the beginnings that start the song with a bang.

For me, the absolute winner is the intro of Xanadu

Spirit of Radio is a close second.

Post yours.

 

I think you nailed it with these two. It's really tough not to go with TSOR, but the intro to Xanadu is just so creative and artistically beautiful, it is second to none. I also agree with many of the others already named, Book I: The Voyage, 2112, Between the Wheels, Digital Man, Hemispheres. And I'll also add Leave That Thing Alone, Witch Hunt, and Finding my Way.

I don't think anyone mentioned The Anarchist which is kind of hard to believe.

 

I only like that it ends

No matter how many times I've heard it, the opening of "Working Man" always fills me with a sense of anticipation and excitement.

 

Another one that has that same effect on me is "The Enemy Within."

Anthem

 

Bastille Day
