And while I’m at it, how come there’s not more love for Sgt. Pepper ? That intro is such a hard rocker you can’t help getting stirred up when you hear it; as a matter of fact, I guess the whole song is one big intro.

Offline I am quite partial to the intro to “Two Of Us “. I use the name “Dig a Pygmy” for a lot of usernames online. 
Thanks John.

Offline More than likely been mentioned before but the guitar intro to ‘I’ve Just Seen A Face ‘ is one of the highlights of ‘Help !’. A moment of genius.

And the amazing intro to While My Guitar Gently Weeps ! I had heard it as just the song for a long time from the Blue Album , but hearing Johns yell at the end of Bungalow Bill go right into it really adds to it!
Go George!!
And of course I feel fine and Day Tripper . Kite has a cool intro too, and do I even need to mention AHDN ?
Pretty much any Beatles song that has an intro part.

@meanmistermustard “the guitar intro to ‘I’ve Just Seen A Face‘ is one of the highlights of ‘Help!’. A moment of genius.”
And it’s not just an intro to a song; it’s the intro to an entire album – the American Rubber Soul !

Offline @Into the Sky with Diamonds, so it is. Being brought up on the UK albums i forget about the US ones and how they are laid out. I should probably playlist the American variations at some point but in truth they don’t mean much to me aside from being compilations.

Offline There are so many beatles’ songs with great intros but A Day In The Life wins cause it starts as a peaceful acoustic song and in middle gets so complex and ends in a perfect way.
Also Drive My Car
I Want To Hold Your has got amazing intros

So many, oh so many.
The feedback that opens I Feel Fine
The fade-in of Eight Days A Week
The plane sound that opens Back In The USSR
The rocking, distorted guitar that opens Revolution
All You Need Is Love – I can’t hear La Marseillaise without wanting to sing, loudly, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
The finger picking guitar opening Dear Prudence … I love that song anyway.
Just the way Help ! goes right into it…. HELP! I need somebody! HELP! Not just anybody. HELP! You know I need someone… HELP!
The tambourine and guitar opening Day Tripper
John’s harmonica opening I Should Have Known Better
The crowd sounds you hear before Sgt. Pepper starts up, then the guitar and drums.
TO YOUR MOTHER and the psychedelic sounding intro to It’s All Too Much
The piano opening Hey Bulldog
I could go on.

Offline As far as Beatles songs go, I really like the intro to Sgt. Pepper with the band warming up. I remember getting the album back in 1967 (the first album I bought) and hearing that intro and thinking that it was cool and a nice touch, then the song kicks in, really pushing it all into overdrive and it’s the start of a great album.

Offline The opening guitar to She Said She Said , like a sunburnt rail line that runs right through the song.
The frisky piano intro to The Word , literally a “this is fun, join in” invitation.
The dotty piano intro to Sexy Sadie followed by the bone-crunching Ringooooos (The master of the air drum intro).
Perhaps they remembered the dottier piano intro to You Like Me Too Much !

Get Back intro. Ironic and deceptively simple.
If I Fell intro. No attempt to reuse, just a cold open that doesn’t signal the amazing duet to come.

Yes The piano part runs in circles throughout the song. The piano sounds a bit honkey tonk as well, adding to the cleverness of the riff.
Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite has a very psychedelic riff as well… borderline spooky.
