Favourite intro to a SY song.
 

Couldn't find this on the search. So, what is your favourite intro to a sonic youth song?

Burning Spear since it's their first song. It's a true... intro. 8)

Seven.


Seven.

Lots of great intros in Sonic past. Off the top of my head I really like the intro to Walkin Blue and the intro to Brave Men Run.

Personally anything from DDN starts out great

Does the intro to Bad moon rising count, or is that just the intro to brave men run?

The Diamond Sea. The instrumental part at the beginning leading into the vocals is perfect.

Candle
Disappearer
Starpower
Stereo Sanctity
Inhuman, yeah, this one is probably my favorite.
Mote

yeah it counts

Stones is also great.

A few I can think of:

Stones - The intro is the best part of the song.

Marilyn Moore - Vintage Thurston screaming.

Starpower - That simple chord progression comes as close as anything to encapsulating what mystifies me about this band.

Cotton Crown - Beautiful. Sounds like a cross between a wild unknown beast and old, rusty factory noise.

Teenage Riot - I think this song is a little overrated, but if they had just stretched that intro out for two or three minutes, I wouldn't have minded. It actually sounds like a daydream.

Candle - Sounds like waking up from a daydream and contentedly realizing you just don't need this stupid job anymore. (Of course, you'll come to regret it, but that doesn't happen until Doctor's Orders, three records later.)

So many others...

Secret Girl may have my favorite intro. That or Free City Rhymes.

Ahaha..

*RIFFAGE*

the no queen blues is great

'Cross the Breeze
&
Dirty Boots

mmm, i think Candle,Stones or Starfiel Road

How could I forget Starfield Road? Great intro.
