Private Investigations is a nice song, but always thought it was one of the more unlikely chart hits of its time. 7 minutes long almost, no real catchy melody to speak of, spoken lyrics etc, doesnt seem to meet any of the criteria you'd expect of an 80s chart hit and yet chart it did, all the way to No.2! Just bit of a weird one, i always felt. More a great album track feel to it.

Hi folks, after seeing the new post for this thread, I am belatedly catching up with it. There are some great suggestions, many of which I have thanked such as Wuthering Heights, Blue Monday, two songs from The Beatles, Private Investigations by Dire Straits and Ger Rowe's ones. I tried to thank Down Down by Status Quo, but some weird stuff was happening there! In relation to that one and some other youtube links, could people post name of artiste and song as it may not always be possible to open links?

Here are a few more intros I like:

This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us by Sparks

Main Street by Bob Seger

IGY by Donald Fagen

You Did Cut Me by China Crisis

Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

The Spirit of Radio by Rush

Paranoid Android by Radiohead

Highway to Hell by ACDC

Cry for Help by Rick Astley

Give it Away by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Shattered Dreams by Johnny Hates Jazz

You Get What You Give by The New Radicals

Island in the Sun by Weezer

The Eagles had quite a few great intros: Take it Easy, Lyin' Eyes, Desperado, Take it to the Limit, One of These Nights, Hotel California, New Kid in Town and Life in the Fast Lane. The last three were all from one album!
