Circle Takes the Square - Non-Objective Portrait of Karma
Rufio - Above Me
Fall Out Boy - "Tell Mick That He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today"

I think that the Intro's on Chuck and Catalyst are both good

my favorite intro to a song was this one CRAZY metal song where it didn't even sound possible to play, it was a bass intro and I was IM-frieking-PRESSED

I'm with you! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

That's just a few off the top of my head. If I think of more I will edit it.

Another song I thought of!

Meh, the intro to cute without the E is way too short to be any good.

i like the intro to Always by Blink.

that's the only one i can think of right now, i just listened to it.

"Every Thug Needs A Lady" by The Alkaline Trio

I just wrote a cool intro for a song which my band will do.
It's just bass doing a slow, dark sounding thing, then a quiet verse sang over the top.
Then after the verse, there is a pause, a small drum fill, and then guitars with full distortion come over the bass thing and it sounds great. Then there is a screaming verse.
It sounded great when I recorded it.

[QUOTE=poprocks&coke]aw, man.
