Lists like these are so subjective and most of the comments that were posted did nothing but complain. I chose not to evaluate the list too much, but instead just reveled in taking a trip down memory lane. Please feel free to add your own favorite acoustic guitar intros.
One of the comments mentioned "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith, and I have to agree. I'm not sure if its Steve Winwood or Eric Clapton, or maybe a duet of them both, but I really like it.
Man, the dude nailed a lot of mine. Boston was one of the first that came to mind, then Over the Hills, then Wish You Were Here.
My favorite will never top any charts (except mine lol). My favorite band, with a song that came when I needed it most. I lost both my parents at a very young age. I bottled a lot of emotions and it led to a lot of turmoil in life, all coming to a head about the time the song came out. It reminded me of one of the things I stashed away... the nightmares. It was a nice way to put it behind me - knowing they're both "smiling next to me". Part of the soundtrack of my life that starts at a time when I began "reinventing myself"...
I enjoyed the listen as well - some good memories. Thanks for posting it.
As far as the rock stuff (acoustic intro), I always liked the sound of Zebra's "Who's Behind the Door."
AL Dimeola's acoustic intro to his cover of "Blackbird" is memorable.
I had a couple ideas for acoustic bass intros, but they may not belong in this thread.
Wow. I didn't think that anyone else had ever heard of Zebra. They played Filthy McNasty's in Kent fairly often on Sunday nights, back in the day.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
Heh, we were probably there at the same time. Sunday nights were "Hard Rock Sundays". Would have been 86 or so. Good times for sure.

That just might be one of the best acoustic songs ever written. There's a version on Youtube of a much older Winwood playing it by a fire that's really good. It's one of my favorite songs to play, ....though my simplified sloppy version won't impress anybody.
Here's another Steve Winwood acoustic solo that's pretty impressive for an old man. (Hope we're not derailing this thread to badly):

I enjoy most of Rick Beato's videos. He does a lot of videos like this, best bass intros, drum intros, etc etc etc.
I remember when Filthys was the Draft House then I used trade hands there when it was called the Palamino Club with ameuter fight night
As far as Warrant goes yeah they made the trek To Filthys when opened up for Poison on the Cherry Pie tour. Watched Poison open with LWTCDI and left Jani Lane was a tremendous song writer
As far as acoustic intros goes Uncle Toms Cabin gets the job done
I will go with #8 Wish You Were Here as my favorite. I listen to it every week.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.
