I know that it's no an intro but the call me al solo is brilliant

 

[tZer]

"Take a walk on the wild side" - Lou Reed

 

[skywalkerla5]

Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang

 

[ROON]

Without a doubt it is this:



I LOVE this into... Knight Jumps Queen - Annihilator

 

[crapusername]

What if? - Control Denied,
Peace sells.. - Megadeth
Higher ground - RHCP

So short, yet so sweet. Awesome song too.

 

[Alan U]

Badge by Cream.
First bass line I played.

 

[kevin_lindsay]

For the love of money - the O'Jays (bassline played by a very young Anthny Jackson)

 

[SGT. Pepper]

Taxman, The Beatles.

 

[Into the Void]

the bass solo intro to N.I.B. tickles my fancy (good ol' Sabbath), so do The Clairvoyant and Blood Brothers intros by Iron Maiden.

 

[JamesM]

The Dry Cleaners From Des Moines (joni and Jaco) is pretty sweet. Although i actually prefer the live version on Shadows and Light which doesn't have the bass intro.

 

[RudeMood]

I always liked "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugar Loaf.

Great choice! My dads band did that song back in the day which inspired me to play bass.

 

[Thunder Pulse]

My Favorite Headache - Geddy Lee solo CD; title track.

Ok, now THAT'S a bass intro. I started reading this thread yesterday. Are these really the BEST bass intros? Judging by the responses I think the topic name should be changed to "ANY Song Where You Can Hear The Bass Guitar Semi-Clearly At Some Point During The First 20 Seconds Of The Song..... Or Not"

I mean c'mon - Stairway To Heaven?!?

Metallica's Leper Messiah? Is that really an "intro"? Orion & Damage Inc.? "Best"?

Megadeth's Peace Sells I can understand, but Wake Up Dead?

I'm rolling my eyes at most of the ones I see here that I know.

LOL It's just so exciting to hear it at all, anywhere, ever!

My favorite:
Will Lee on "Funky Broadway", from Hiram Bullock's album From All Sides.

Apologies if it's already been listed.
