What CD...

[Reznorite420]

...has/had the best "intro" track, IYO?

What I mean by "intro" track is the first track on some albums that's just very brief with no real musical value some of the time that kinda sets the mood for the album in general. Knowwhatimean?

Anyhoo, I've having a tough time deciding between:

- NIN's Broken EP with the intro track "Pinion"
- Marilyn Manson's The Golden Age of Grotesque with the intro track "Theater"
- Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe with the intro track "Call of the Zombie"

[That Matt Guy]

Misfits, Famous Monsters with Kong at the Gates

[Kid Icarus]

edit, just actually read rez's entire post ;).

Korn's Issues. I can't stand the band but for a few minutes, but 'Dead' was a great into.

I'm gonna go with Guns N Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" off of Appetite for Destruction. Every day, that song still gets played on the radio SOMEwhere.

And "Smells Like Teen Spirit" HAS to be right up there with it. Both songs are among the most recognized in history, and were the opening tracks on two of the greatest albums in rock ever.

EDIT: If you wanna stick strictly with the whole "brief intro/not actual song per se" criteria, I'm gonna go with "Kong at the Gates" by The Misfits too.

"pinion" was a great intro... I wanna add "Disclaimer" From the offspring's Ixnay on the Hombre

[Reznorite420]

Actually, since you bring it up, Leo, why not include what you're talking about, too?

Alright, as far as actual opening tracks go, here're mine:

Disturbed - Prayer (Believe)
Metallica - Enter Sandman (Metallica)
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nevermind)
Weird Al Yankovic - Couch Potato (Poodle Hat)
Nickelback - Never Again (Silver Side Up)

Well, for me..I'll just think of a few that I liked.

(I don't remember some of the song titles)

Track #1 on Weezer - Maladroit
1000 Days on Alien Ant Farm - truANT

[Barkworm]

I can't think of any intros but there are some cool opener songs like:
Queens of the Stone Age: You think I ain't worth a dollar but i feel like a millionaire (Songs for the deaf)
Pearl Jam: Go (Vs.)
Pearl Jam: Brain of J. (Yield)
Metallica: Frantic (St. Anger)
Metallica: Battery (Master of Puppets)
I just love it when an album starts like a kick in the face! :D

[Eternelle]

I'm definitely gonna have to go with Disturbed: Prayer. Great great moody song.

[Leo656]

Ah sh*t how the hell did I forget Enter Sandman for best Intro song???

[Reznorite420]

How did I forget Deadsy's "The Key To Gramercy Park" off Commencement?
