Songs with great drum intros?

Yesterday on the radio I heard the Beatles Something and Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll back to back and got me thinking about what are some of the other great drum introduction songs. Perhaps the best and certainly my favorite is Pictures of Home from Deep Purple's Machine Head album.

 

Off the top of my head-

Birthday-The Beatles
Shock Me-Kiss

 

Me Myself I - Joan Armatrading

JG

 

I've always loved the drum intro of I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick

 

"I'm Glad You're Mine" - Al Green

 

Gene Krupa's drum intro on Benny Goodman's version of "Sing Sing Sing".

 

As a rock drummer of 30 years I do enjoy 'challenging' drum tracks but the one intro that always gets me probably more than any other is "Young Americans" for it's sheer simplicity, not sure if it was Dennis Davis or Andy Newmark, though I suspect the latter.

 

Honky Tonk Women

 

Richie Hayward's intro to "Time Loves a Hero" on "Waiting for Columbus".

 

Guns 'n Roses- You Could Be Mine.

 

Prince - "Raspberry Beret"

 

The Crunge - LZ

 

Run, Run, Run - JoJo Gunne

 

Hot For Teacher
When The Levee Breaks

 

Waitin' For The Wind - Spooky Tooth

Sets up the song nicely.

 

"Pure and Easy" - The Who
"Lakeside Park" - Rush

 

"my pal foot foot" by the shaggs.

the original blue note version of "straight no chaser" by thelonious monk. art blakey, drummer.

 

"It Hurts To Be In Love"- Gene Pitney

 

Yes - "South Side of the Sky"

 

When the Levee Breaks

 

Stand! -- Sly & the Family Stone

 

Who Do You Love (Doors live)

Get Off My Cloud

Wipeout

 

"Is It Tomorrow Yet?" by Joan Armatrading.

 

I like Cozy Powell's drum instrumental intro to one of the last songs on the Forcefield II - The Talisman record. It's a pretty wimpy record, but this drum solo and the cover of "Strange Kind of Woman" (Deep Purple) are entertaining.
