Yeah, you could go on a while alright. This is one of my favourites (songs, not necessarily intros, though still not bad). Kind of more edgy and grown-uppy* than your usual teeny-bop songs (and that counts the likes of The Who in that hilarious "I Can't Explain" link)

* - assuming I've picked up on it correctly. Which I probably haven't.

I'll throw this one in as well -

(I've no sound on my computer, so I can only hope it's the same as the one I'm thinking of!). Simple, but quality.

This Charming Man - The Smiths
Hand In Glove - The Smiths
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths
Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths

Oblivious - Aztec Camera (Cracking instrumental break in that too)
