What songs have fantastic intros, but are pretty boring overall - or fail to maintain the magic/energy that the intro has...

Born Slippy - Underworld

Still Dre - Dr Dre

Heaven can Wait - Iron Maiden

Sorrow - Pink Floyd

These are great shouts! I tried to think of one on seeing the thread title but couldn't, so popped in for inspiration.

I find it's more often the opposite, especially with longer songs - if I'm playing someone something I love and they haven't heard, I so often feel I keep having to say 'Just wait a bit...no, it gets brilliant soon...just coming up...'

Somewhere In The Ether…

This is going to be controversial but please don’t shoot me until I’ve explained….

The Who: Won’t Get Fooled Again.

A legendary and iconic intro with some very clever synth orchestration.

However….the song (for me at least) was both unspectacular and seriously over long.

Ok, you can shoot me now

Cannonball - The Breeders. I don't hate it, it just doesn't quite deliver what the first few bars promise.

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary. I don’t dislike the rest of the song, but compared to one of the best intros of all time in any genre ever, it’s a bit…. hmmm
