Songs with long intros before the vocals start

Apologies if this has been asked before (I did a search and couldn't find anything), but what songs can you think of with long intros? The first two that come to mind are Stairway to Heaven and Baba O'Riley, but to be honest I don't know which one has the longer intro, or if there are other songs that may be longer. Any ideas?

 

Eminence Front - The Who
I Need A Lover - John Cougar

 

Loads of stuff by The Cure.

 

Money For Nothing- Dire Straits
Hotel California- Eagles

 

Deep Purple - Lazy > 4:18 before Gillan starts singing.
Yes - Close To The Edge > 4:01 before Anderson/Squire sing.

 

Hell's Bells

 

Station to Station-David Bowie
Shine On You Crazy Diamond-Pink Floyd

 

The version of The Pusher on Early Steppenwolf takes about 15 minutes before the vocal enters.

 

Heart Of The Sunrise - Yes

 

Colour My World - Chicago
Many Meatlofian epics

 

Yo la tengo, Blue Line Swinger
Stereolab have many, but Metronomic Underground is the one that comes to mind

 

I was going to say this. In fact, on Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, fully 26 minutes are instrumental intros and only 48 minutes are the bodies of the 18 songs on the album. Disintegration is likely even more.

 

Dark Star....Grateful Dead from Live Dead.

 

Theme from Shaft

 

As Far As You Can See As Much As You Can Feel.....Gypsy.

 

Yep, done this before. Hard to beat Handy by Wishbone Ash. Approx 9min 30sec before the vocals start!

 

Temptations "Papa Was A Rolling Stone"

 

Quite a few from Dire Straits

• Tunnel of Love
• Telegraph Road
• Once Upon A Time In The West

Elton John

• Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
• Tonight

Genesis - Watcher of the Skies (and many others)

ELP - Karn Evil 9 (and many others)

Almost any prog group or jam band will have numerous examples. I've found the Bowie, Who, Mellencamp, etc. titles interesting because they're generally not known for long drawn out instrumental tracks.

 

Lean On Me by Red Box builds for a while before the vocals come in.

Swamp Thing by the Chameleons too.

Push by the Cure is usually my go-to for this category ...

 

Miles Davis: Yesternow

 

The Police - Deathwish

Long instrumental outro as well.

 

Damn, you beat me to it xD

I love what they did with the song, though.

 

That song came to mind too. The musicianship is top notch, but they play the same damn riff over and over again.

 

I Will Possess Your Heart: Death Cab For Cutie.
