I’m looking Through You
These come to mind now, if I can think of some others I’ll edit the post and add them.
EDIT: I just remembered Lovely Rita , a song that I, ironically, don’t like that much. The intro promises a lot but the actual song doesn’t (in my opinion) deliver. But what an intro.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps …I’ve heard it for 25 years and it still gives me chills every time I hear that intro.

Got My Mind Set On You
(This song probably has the best drum intro and also got the catchiest beats, I wonder who came up with that maybe it was ringo)

Offline Yeah IMO George’s version is an improvement on the original

Offline I always have a problem with “best” when it comes to anything Beatles-oriented, since so much is superb; but here goes:
1) The cockcrow followed by the saxophones of Good Morning Good Morning
2) The jet landing then the rock guitar chords & drums of Back in the U.S.S.R.
3) The sudden immediate launching into the singing of the song without any instrumental ado (sort of the opposite of an “intro”, eh?) — in these three (there may be more but I can’t think of them now):

Right. I wish there was more use of the word “favorite”.
One of my favorites is the Anthology version of ‘You Can’t Do That ‘ – “A one two three fo-wah”

Offline Thanks robert — Julia is a great one I’d forgotten about. And Can’t Buy Me Love fits the bill nicely.
Speaking of good intros in general, if someone already mentioned this one, I second it: That barred sussy chord signalling the start of A Hard Day’s Night is impeccable!

We had a discussion a while back where we talked about all of the songs that began a cappella even if it was only for one note. There were quite a few.

Offline It has been mentioned by many, but that feedback dissolving into a riff in I Feel Fine is so inspiring that I still get chills when I hear it, even though I’ve heard it 9 million times. I still remember where I was when I first heard it as a kid, because it was so different and beautiful. The bright clarity of the sound of that riff always exemplified to me Chuck Berry’s line “he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.” 
I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.
