Favorite heavy rocker that starts with a tasty acoustic intro?



As a suggestion... maybe we can limit this to 3 per person?





What are the really, really good ones?

    HI,
     
    Scorpions - Fly to the Rainbow
    Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Lalaland and the great groupies!
    Gong - A Sprinkling of Clouds
     
    (3 is too cheap! And I'm gonna say, does not show how much music you know and have heard! Bapu probably can think of about 25 of these!
     
    Can - Bel Air
    PFM - Lots of material starts out softly ... just put on Photos of Ghosts
    Banco - First album - the long cut
    (doesn't count factory!) Mike Oldfield -- a whole lot of his stuff
    Egberto Gismonti - Sanfona
     
    And that's just for starters, and I'm at work, and have not even scanned my colletion with my eyes!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    Acoustic intro, or clean intro?   Some of the songs mentioned start with clean intros ie electric guitars on channel 1...

    Without giving it much thought...  Here's two I still love to play using my Variax-equipped custom so I can switch from the acoustic six or 12-string setting to the passive pickups.

    Scorpions - Holiday
    Styx - Suite Madam Blue

    For Richard ... and the version on the New Sinfonia is even better! That is an album that a lot of folks don't like, and I think its great. Too much of the classical music is too controlled, and you can tell in parts of this that they are trying hard to stay with it, and it comes off well, even though it does have moments that are under-rehearsed, and not well defined, but then ... this is the legacy of rock music and how it got here ... so why are we ****ing?


    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
