    Rick! Love your videos
    A few intros that never made it to your list but worth mentioning(in my opinion) :
    01. Deep Purple : Fireball
    02. Rainbow : Stargazer
    03. Judas Priest : Painkiller
    04. Iron Maiden : Where Eagles Dare
    05. Twisted Sister : We're not gonna take it.

    When the Levee Breaks is the first song that came to mind when I saw the Title of the Video. A lot of great choices in the Rundown. Real drums add so much life and feeling to songs as shown in the Top Song as it is essentially the Lead instrument throughout the song. I love certain Solo Artists, but a Band with a great Drummer is something to experience.

The part just before the lyrics is not an intro, as the song is already 2 minutes in. But...yeah. Play or even mimic that drum lick and many people would involuntarily sing the first line.
