Recommended Posts

List some music intros which never fail to lift your mood. Here are some of mine, in no particular order:-

Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

Hotel California - Eagles

Whisky in the Jar - Thin Lizzy

Layla - Eric Clapton

Samba Pa Ti - Santana

Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones

I make no apology for the fact that that all these tunes are getting on a bit  in years, just like me. 🙂

I watched the Keith Richards episode of the Stones documentaries on the BBC last night.

He mentioned how intros were important to him. Gimme Shelter was the one he picked out. They had a load of decent intros.

Alternative Ulster is a good one.

London Calling - The Clash

Geno - Dexys 

Won’t Get Fooled Again - The Who

The Intro & The Outro - The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
