Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is... interesting. A good 8 minutes of build-up to mull over before the song really seems to start.

I think my favourite is "Lateralus" by Tool though.

jesus_thats_gre

One by Metallica

Pugwash

better than the real thing by U2
time by floyd- check those funky bongos
there there by radiohead live

Pugsley

Dark Tranquility- Punish my Heaven

The daddy of all intros

Other worth contenders are:
Sonata Arctica - The Power of One
Opeth - To Bid you Farewell (ok the intro is about 6minutes long... but what a build up!)
Nightwish - Crownless
Dimmu Borgir - Angels Decay
In Flames - Gyroscope

Metallica had some great intros in their day. Battery (I adore the S&M one particularly), Fight Fire With Fire, Call Of Ktulu, One, Fade To Black, Nothing Else Matters... All great for stirring you up just hearing the first bars.

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark

Truth. It's even better live, when they tease you a little. Better still is the intro to their whole gig. Rock In Rio is a perfect example.
I would also add Hallowed Be Thy Name, the intro to Moonchild ("Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win...) and The Trooper. They're all songs that tell you just from the first bars, that you're in for a treat.

AC/DC's Thunderstruck and Razor's Edge are also very good.

I personally love the start to Ram It Down by Judas Priest. Lovely opening scream...
