Jesus Lizard- Boilermaker

"hat and beard" by eric dolphy

'night like this' by the cure
'life of possibilities' by the dismemberment plan. opens the record as well.

yeah, there's a lot... but some bands are afraid of this technique. let's try to think of people who absolutely always have to use an intro....
no, let's not.

Well - yeah I guess I missed that thread... but maybe this one is a little more focused...? like I can think of songs where vocals start right away, but I would still characterize it as an "intro"...

(searches memory banks for example, but at the moment can only come up with "Here, There & Everywhere" by the Beatles)

'muzzle' by smashing pumpkins is another.

pavement-serpentine pad AWESOME
flipper-talk is cheap (kinda starts off with the chorus)
shellac-squirrel song (?)
thats all i can think of

The Pixies are the masters of no intro: "Ed is Dead," "Alec Eiffel," "Hey," "Tame," "Gouge Away." There also have many songs with really short intros.

Pretenders' "Brass in Pocket" has barely an intro. A chorused guitar lick, and then Chrissie just struts on into the song.

Pavement, "Zurich is Stained," "Here," "Shady Lane," and "Type Slowly." All brilliant.

Van Morrison- And It Stoned Me
The Ex- Time Flies
Big Black- Bazooka Joe ("...when Joe's head cracks, when that big head cracks...")

Um, this song has an intro.

Their recent single "The End of The World" however, has no intro.

About 50% of Dillinger Escape Plan's songs. My favorite would be Destro's Secret.

Every time one of these "songs with no intro" threads comes up, the first thing I think is "Piggy in the Mirror". The second thing I think is "that song has that little drum intro, jackass".

Two Bedhead songs come to mind, though: "Felo de Se" and "Extramundane". Great songs.

Buzzcocks: "Orgasm Addict"

The Wedding Present: "Dare"

Teenage FBI has an intro. It's just that it's vocals and guitar.
