Title: Best Intro/Riff
Post by: NHSparky on February 07, 2008, 10:22:45 PM: Listening to Pink Floyd/Animals/Pigs (Three Different Ones)...

Is is just me or is this the best intro and overall riff ever? Then again I'm biased that this is the best album ever, not just the best Pink Floyd album.

Discuss....

However, Nirvana's SLTS does start with a very memerable opening riff in the traditional :bird: style of rock and roll. So :bird: if you think the song does not belong here. :-)
