Maybe someone can help me out with the song title, but the intro to Aerosmith's A Little South of Sanity is etched into my memory.

"La Grange"
Should also be the entrance song for the football team (if not for historical significance alone).

Rock Lobster has no redeeming value whatsoever.
Oh, and I love the intro to Panama.
Another vote for Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
Rusty Cage - Soundgarden
Limelight (good call) me think of another good Rush intro "Subdivisions"
For AC/DC I'll add Down Payment Blues.

Glad to see the piano intro to "I Need A Lover" get a mention.
Van Halen--"Intruder" lead-in to Pretty Woman and "Eruption" lead-in to You Really Got Me. Some people think of those as separate songs, but I do not.
Also like the intro to Laying Down The Law by The Law (Paul Rodgers-led group)

"Sweet Home Alabama" is, of course, Skynyrd's most famous, but I actually prefer the intro to "Gimme Three Steps."
"Jealous Again" by the Black Crowes
"Pride and Joy" by SRV
Greutzmachers -- Goin' commando!

Yes, "Love Will Find A Way" has a fantastic intro.
My vote for best:
Over the Hills and Far Away
Not to completely dork out, but if you listen to a good copy through a decent set of headphones, the separation between the left and right channel during 2nd half of the intro when the 12-string picks up is awesome.
Other favs of mine I didn't see (or overlooked):
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Smashing Pumpkins - Today
Weezer - Undone
Foo Fighters - Everlong
DMX - Intro (AKA, The Tyson Song; co-opted by Chuck Lidell)
Winger - Seventeen

Honestly, we could have a thread just for Zeppelin intros. They have some of the best of all time. Just off the top of my head:
When The Levee Breaks - That beat alone is utter genius.
Whole Lotta Love - Possibly the most famous rock and roll riff of all time.
Immigrant Song - Gets me pumped every time.
Dazed and Confused - Dat bassline.
Black Dog - Just damn sexy.
Battle of Evermore - Just a personal favorite of mine.
So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you.
Really like the Take Me Out intro. Rest of the song is way overplayed obviously, but the slow-down into the chorus I love.
