you get a bonus point for Always on the Bright side, imo...i start many long car treks by playing that tune as i leave my long driveway and so that simple intro puts me in a cruise frame of mind no matter where i hear it

i could comment at length on all your inputs, thanks...i havent submitted mine yet...i should have said "go through all those that are too many to mention and decide your fave or narrow down your top 3, or 5 max"

i was orignally thinking of ones with more melodic hooks/riffs as intros but ones like ODR are classsic for sure...how about DQ or CRT? legendary stuff that i hope kids in future generations will recongnize also...for lvin Me, certainyl classic also, good one

this all came to me when i was thinking What GL tunes can i name in the fewest intro notes? or fewest loon calls (eg. whispers of the north )

i love the comment about the fade in intro...great observation! i had asked at one point which GL tunes have fade out ending and i believe rm asked if i was serious...but he knows i am rarely serious so that quiz ended up at the bottom of the sea, along with most of rm and sir johns

so think long and hard on this one....btw, the most bizarre ending is probably Sometimes I Don't mind, imo

ps) Cabaret, great one John!

ps2) after many years I have learned to play the key intro for Restless, i'm awesome
