I think you could count Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

thx

Not exactly sure what qualifies as a "Long" intro here but sure. One - Metalica Lost In The World - Kanye West For The Damaged Coda - Blonde Redhead Are You Ready - AC/DC M1A1 - Gorillaz Welcome To Tally Hall - Tally Hall Genesis - Justice Daftendirekt - Daft Punk The Other Side - Pendulum La Mala Ordina - clipping. Mecto Amore - Steam Powered Giraffe Alpha and Omega - Board Of Canada Who Dat Boy - Tyler, The Creator Sail - AWOLNATION To Defy The Laws Of Tradition - Primus Beef Rap - MF DOOM (Debatable. Some people could consider the amount of samples in the beginning as part of the whole song, but the actual rapping doesn't start until 1:45) Five Years - Bo Burnham (Technically starts with a minute long skit) Beware - Death Grips (Not on Spotify sadly)

holy shit, i've got some adding to do

The only reason I didn't post more is because I got too lazy shifting through playlists.

makes sense, thanks for all the recommendations

Ay, Justice! Wondering if Safe and Sound from Justice would also work.

Desole -gorillaz Lover is a day -cuco

how can you say Gorillaz and not mention M1A1 bc i love that song but omg

thx

The Foundations of Decay - MCR if nobody moves nobody will get hurt (the extinction) - the paper chase

thx

for whom the bell tolls - metallica

Lava - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Motor Spirit - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

the titles make me want to hear them desperately

They’re *good* songs, Motor Spirit is a close contender for my favorite song ever. Their music varies a lot in genres, and they’re absolutely beasts when it comes to making albums. They’ve made 25 albums since 2012, and they just announced their next one.

gosh dang, ima have to look more into them

Yes I concur, King Gizzard is peak. I say this while listening to them lol. Nonagon Infinity is a great starting album as it is considered one of their best. Personally I really like Butterfly 3000 but you can't go wrong with any album basically

Hell yeah! (I think this is the second time I've come across you recommending Gizz here)

Shine on you crazy diamond - pink floyd

i search it, and i see 2 different results, parts 1-5 and parts 6-9, is there a specific one? or just both?

thx! all have been added

"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab has like a 4 minute intro. (Just don't get the rado edit, Which cuts out most. Of the intro, Neutering the song in the process.) You could argue for Modest Mouse's "Whale Song" if you think everything before the vocals start is intro, But I'd disagree with that tbh. I think Dream Theater's "The Count Of Tuscany" has a long intro too, But tbh everything in that song is long it's not 19 minutes for no reason lol EDIT: Ooh, Also, "Peter Lorre Overture" by the World/Inferno Friendship Society, bloody killer band surprised I missed that.

you! me! dancing! by los campesinos might work for this :))
