Certainly not "the best", but this was "my best" intro.
 
Unfortunately it was done like 20 some years ago with a HW sequencer and my not quite state of the art by current standards (or even then) cassette 4 track, so...
 
Anyway it's called Intro - The Tortured Past

Already mentioned, but I thought I'd add this link to a recent live performance at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Nancy's almost my age, but she's still got it...
 

 
This intro's short but immediately recognizable...

Always enjoyed this band ... I think it helped that the vocals were always tight and really well done, with excellent moments all around.
 
Not quite as good, but a bit more in the progressive vein of things, is Lana Lane and the Rocket Scientists, from LA. Lana has the same similar range and power as this band, however, I always thought the lyrical style in Lana's work, needed a bit more poetic, and emotional definition, as at times it does not come as clear, concise and as well defined as it has been for HEART for many years ... as one can say, you knew it was from the heart ... right from the start!

I was going to mention the very same Elton John piece and you beat me to it.  I actually even have this one in 5 channel SACD remix - it totally works in surround (not that I have all that much in my collection by Mr. John).
 
The other one I wanted to "nominate" is this - Chris Rea's Road to Hell:

Actually, the "intro" is almost the first half of the song, so I'm not sure this one counts.

Nice!  I swear I thought it was going into Industrial Disease when the guitar started (heck, even his voice sounds like Knopfler's).
