Posted May 31, 200619 yr We have had the 'awesome intros thread' but what about the 'awful intros thread' i will start with this great tune by the Charades https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Charade..._Believe_It.ram If i am skipping thru a cd of new stuff this one would probably get overlooked as I sometimes only listen to the first 5 seconds any more great songs with awful intros?

May 31, 200619 yr ADAMS JOHN - I LOVE YOU - SILVER BULL poor intro ( which seems to last forever) then they make a shortened version of the intro into the chorus shame because the body of the record is brilliant

Shane Might suprise you here Shane but the majority of Soulful House intro's get right on my tit's They sound great if they're played out by a dj who knows how to play & mix them properly but when you're sat at home & you just want to listen to some music they just don't work. Why on earth don't they squeeze in a radio edit somewhere. I'm sure you know what i mean Edited May 31, 200619 yr by CUNNIE
May 31, 200619 yr One of my fave reocrds has a god damn awful start Cynthia & Imaginations - Love Is Real Its all echoey talking and then boom boom boom Loooove is Reeeal, Loooove is reeeal - and I'm a throbbing mess on the dance floor. Well actually I would have been on the dance floor with my hands on my hips waiting for the singing to begin.
May 31, 200619 yr KarenC said: Lady in Green - Magnetics nuff said isn't that your all-time favourite song Karen?????? probably sacrilege, but the first bit of Challenge my Love annoys me...............! Also Groovy Situation -Gene Chandler...................the use of nursery rhyme tunes in soul songs should be FORBIDDEN!!!!!!! Edited May 31, 200619 yr by soulster
May 31, 200619 yr Be's That Way Sometimes - Bobby Wells. Reminds me of an American nursery rhyme: Mamma's Little Baby Loves Shortening Shortening IMO
May 31, 200619 yr Rockin Co-You Live Only Once, about 40 seconds of hell, the rest of it is staggering though so more than makes up for the intro Andy
May 31, 200619 yr A Place by The Precisions. A real 'bubble gum' girly (no offence meant) intro and then a great song to follow. KTF. Drew.
June 1, 200619 yr Surely the worst ever..... theres a new girl living in my neighbourhood. URGH. Always hated those spoken build-up intros too, eg Soul bro's inc, great tune but toe curling start.

June 1, 200619 yr Awful intro? I'll vote for the Adventurers Easy Baby. Sounds like an out of tune college marching band. Probably deliberate. Having said that, it sticks in your head, and I actually rather like it. Col
June 1, 200619 yr in town Mikey said: Mark, you'll have Dan after you now grrrr...clean out your ears...no taste...keep taking the tablets...etc etc actually, i dispute that call anyway, mark. pyramid starts with bass and piano then into bongos and flute then drums, guitar, brass and strings then vocals, which are admittedly a bit chatty first up. so it's not a spoken intro anyway
June 1, 200619 yr Buddy Smith 'When you lose the one you love'. The intro used to remind me of Kermit the Frog channelling Barrington Levy. I've always loved the record anyway tho'.

June 2, 200619 yr though the song is brill, I'll vote for Ray Charles - The Train i don't like train whistles...

I've always loved the record anyway tho'. Love the intro to this, I take it he's saying 'When you lose the one you love' but said it so fast it sounds like 'whim ziggada wah'
June 3, 200619 yr The naff wordings on Moon Light Music And You, the last few words before the singing start she says "Oh !!!!! By The Way Did You Bring Your Guitar" Just makes me laugh.

June 5, 200619 yr The Dealers - You Got It (Big Bunny) This would be a great song if the first 8 measures werent complete doo-doo.
June 6, 200619 yr We have had the 'awesome intros thread' but what about the 'awful intros thread' what about "my heart is calling you " by the Magnificents ...........
June 6, 200619 yr Calvin Williams - It won't matter at all. Which gets double points as it also has a distinctly dodgy middle bit too but still rises above it to be brilliant. The Miracles - Everybody's got to pay some dues.

August 5, 200618 yr Archie,s in love..... Archie Bell and the Drells. Intro sounds like a truly awful country ,n, western ditty , then BANG!. Breaks into what typically is the same as all their atlantic classics.....Showdown.. Here i go again.. Don,t let the music slip away.. Giil you,re too young. , know what i mean. Bri.
August 5, 200618 yr DON HART & THE FYVE= SOLDIER COMIN HOME.....i reviewed this in my last soul up north fingy...if the title alone wasnt enuff to put you off...the intro is dreadful...im always expecting to hear a pipe band ... ...but what a cracking choon cookie
August 5, 200618 yr ken said: Tony Mason,the one where he as no sokcs or shoes on his feet,oooooooooooh i`ve forgot Take Good Care......
August 6, 200618 yr Agree about The Charades. Disagree about The Adventurers, Adams John, Calvin Williams and The Dealers. I like all those intros.
August 6, 200618 yr Betty Everett "My love to lean on" SS7 gets my vote, horrible twangy guitar but Betty saves the day BH
August 6, 200618 yr The Younghearts - I got love for my baby Intro like something from carry on up the kyber, spoils otherwise ok track
We have had the 'awesome intros thread' but what about the 'awful intros thread'
