I thought Neil Diamond posts were banned, particularly in light of the facts that this is a music thread and he's still alive-ish.

Diamond was cool once.... in the 70's! I must dig out that Barry Manilow track or Chris DeBurgh:D

I've heard all the other stuff as well :

Diamonds are forever (please God, don't do that to me)
Diamonds are a girl's best friend (sorry girls, not this one :))

I know i missed out on the 60's partying, but I hadn't realised until now it lasted into the 70's - I don't ever remember "Neil Diamond" and "cool" appearing in the same sentence until now; strange that.

Did you hear the joke about the two Jewish guys and the short Irishman?
 
Just looked at my ipod and didn't get passed "B". Bit eclectic I know but I love these intros:

You shook me all night long - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bomv-6CJSfM&feature=related

Audioslave Cochise - www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXdSOxEnwWM

Barry White, You are the first, my last, my everything.

Beatles , Eight days a week

Bee Gees, Jive Talkin'

Black Sabbath, War Pigs

Bob Seger, Fire Inside

Bobby Womack , Across 110th Street.

Bruce Springsteen, The river

Oh yes, very nice. Best song the Stones never wrote? :)

Re Bowie, The opening couple of seconds of Ziggy Stardust is fantastic too - just that first crunchy chord and the "diddle-iddle-liddle" ( :eek:) is wonderful.

Very nice choices VOR - especially Gone Shootin' - rare quality, mellow and rocking - almost like Free?
 
Best Intro

Like sweet home alabama, but my favourite intro has to be very close between sweet child of mine - guns n roses and under pressure - queen.
 
sweet child of mine - guns n roses has to be one of the most recognisable, and best but I'd also go with Spare Parts (my favourite Springsteen song and, for all you girlies out there, a great feminist song) and The River since Springsteen is better than This post will be deleted if not edited immediately (and he's real).
 
River Deep Mountain High
Excerpt From A Teenage Opera
In The Summertime
Howzat
The House Of The Rising Sun

Bingo, young snapper! On a more contemporary note, Many Rivers To Cross (the UB40 cover).
