Ok I admit this section is polarizing, and I actually don't count it to the intro.

BTW I really like the widdley diddley, caught me first time off guard while listening.

Not saying it's the best, but I love the intro to New Millennium. Such a groovy moment when it kicks into gear.

Yes I'm listening to it now.

Zydar · October 10, 2011, 06:42:27 AM

As I Am has a cool intro, so does The Root Of All Evil.

The Silent Cody · October 10, 2011, 06:49:37 AM

Well The Count Of Tuscany for sure. As I Am is dark and badass, I like it. Bridges also should be here on that list

Going with ACOS.

Not a very original answer, I know. But I want to marry that intro.

krands85 · October 10, 2011, 08:51:57 AM

ITPOE Pt 1 definitely.

Love that.

Also, As I Am and These Walls are pretty awesome.

I love the intro to Octavarium. It's just such a haunting melodic/atmospheric moment. I hate that so many people (mostly non-DT fans) think it's boring.

I love it, even the extended Score version

Blazinarps · October 10, 2011, 04:34:20 PM

I don't like the lap steel and continuum solo. I think it's too long. However, the acoustic guitar that comes in is absolutely gorgeous.

CrimsonSunrise · October 10, 2011, 04:38:41 PM

Let's see....

ACOS....then maybe....ACOS...and so on, and so on,

Pols Voice · October 10, 2011, 04:42:09 PM

Metropolis Part I

Rkeister · October 10, 2011, 05:38:05 PM

Agree with all of the above. I would give Stream of Conciousness an honorable mention

FlyingBIZKIT · October 10, 2011, 06:32:28 PM

Best from each album:

WDADU: The Killing Hand
I&W: Take The Time

BCSL: The Count Of Tuscany
ADTOE: Bridges In The Sky

Liberation · October 10, 2011, 06:39:13 PM

Sorry, but in this thread there is only one correct answer:
Home.

lonestar · October 11, 2011, 11:37:18 AM

Many great ones mentioned, but I have to give props to About to Crash, the soft piano followed by that first crashing chord is just plain awesome.

energythief · October 12, 2011, 12:29:36 AM

God, what a topic! This is so hard to do, so I just am starting with Images & Words:

1. Metropolis
2. Pull Me Under
3. Under a Glass Moon
4. Wait for Sleep
5. Another Day
6. Take the Time
7. Learning to Live
8. Surrounded

Funny how different my "intro" rankings are from my "song" rankings. I am going to do this for every album.

Jirpo · October 12, 2011, 12:36:55 AM

1. Metropolis
2. ACOS
3. 8VM
4. TCOT
5. TGP
6. TROAE

Rough order probably forgot some lol.
