Maiden - Wrathchild, Iron Maiden, The Prisoner, 2 Minutes To Midnight, The Sign Of The Cross, Journeyman.

I've missed out loads, of course, so...
Others that spring to mind suddenly! - Death On Two Legs & Ogre Battle & March Of The Black Queen/Queen - Don't Fear The Reaper/BOC, Wish You Were Here & Money/Floyd - The Invisible Man/Marillion - Ashes To Ashes/Bowie - Sing/Blur - You Really Got Me/The Kinks, She's Just Killing Me/ZZ Top, Wuthering Heights & This Women's Work/Kate Bush. Peaches/The Stranglers

And so it goes on and on and on and on....

But doing this does make you think and remember loads of great songs that grabbed you with the intro. And, of course, you go off and play them again!!
