The best "Outro" ever was the piano at the end of "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes (Eric Clapton)...

As for intros, there are many good ones, although I have always liked Elton John's somber opening to "Love Lies Bleeding" aptly titled "Funeral for a Friend" off of Yellow Brick Road.

ADG

Tool - Ticks & Leeches. best song intro ever. Suck it!!!

can never argue with any tool song being on any list but do you and intro goes Ticks & Leeches is great but I would you really put above the intro of stinkfist?

100% agree with Sweet Child O Mine, great intro. Is 'Money' from the album that supposedly syncs up with The Wizard of Oz? For some reason I seem to remember that from some high school class.

Also:

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Yes it is:
