955i Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) No, no, no!! You are all taking it out of context. Yes there are arguably better intro's from later years, but they may well not have happened were it not for these guys!! Think what music was acceptable at this time and listen to it with that in mind and it is a storming piece of music Edited August 25, 2011 by 955i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
