Greatest Intros in Rock

F

FRR

How about this. There were so many great rock and roll songs during the fifties and sixties, and so many had fabulous intros.. How does anything compare to Baby I Love You by the Ronettes, or I'm Hurtin' by Roy Orbison. Those are some of my favorites. How about yours?
