This is the intro Okay I promise this post will have nothing to do with fantasy sports. Back to talking about one of my other favorite topics...music. We haven't had a Top 5 list in a while, and I started working on this one a week or two ago. My plan was to do the top 5 song intros, but then defining what was considered an intro got tricky. So the definition that I'm working with is that the intro should build up to the main beat of the song. This eliminates a lot of hip hop songs that have really good beats but are no different from the first note to the last. In fact it pretty much eliminated all hip hop songs. At least the ones I could come up with. 5. Right Now - Van Halen 4. Fixxxer - Metallica 3. Simon Says - Pharoahe Monch 2. Thunderstruck - AC/DC 1. Hells Bells - AC/DC So basically this scientific study has proven that AC/DC know what they're doing when it comes to making a solid intro. I almost put PopoZao on that list just for the grubby trailer park laugh at the begining. Okay thats a lie. Billy Peddle by Great Big Sea should get an honerable meantion because its got a great intro, but I don't really know where it ends cause its kind of lacking in the lyrics department. I think I'm going to have to expand this list someday, because I'm definitly leaving some quality intros off the list. This is the outro.
