Top 10 Songs Where the Singer Starts Singing After 1 Minute or More

I didn't title the list 'songs with long intros' or 'best long intros' because these instrumental parts are not always intros.

Sometimes the instrumental section before the vocals is more than just an intro.
The Top Ten
1 Echoes - Pink Floyd
2 Raining Blood - Slayer
3 For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

After 2:07 minutes. Great intro.

4 Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth

Dave starts singing after 1:27 minutes. This is my favorite metal intro and I wish it was longer.

5 Sacred Worlds - Blind Guardian

After 2:13 minutes. I love this intro, it's so impressive (as well as the song after it).

6 April - Deep Purple

The singer starts singing at 8:50 into the song.

7 Black Magic Woman - Santana
8 Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Quincy Jones on this intro: "you could shave on that intro! "

9 Schizos (Are Never Alone) - Parts I & II - Annihilator

After nearly 2 minutes (1:53) of great thrash metal riffing.

10 Enter Sandman - Metallica
The Contenders
11 Ain't Misbehavin' - Fats Waller
12 Fade to Black - Metallica

Singing starts at 1:28.

13 You're My Heart, You're My Soul - Modern Talking

The version of this song that's on Youtube and in 25 Years of Disco pop does not qualify for this list, however the one in The Collection and on the original album does.

14 Travel in Stygian - Iced Earth
15 The Scarecrow - Avantasia
16 Let the Storm Descend Upon You - Avantasia
17 Time What is Time - Blind Guardian
18 Septuagint - Obscura
19 The Sails of Charon - Scorpions
20 Master of Puppets - Metallica

1 min (shorter than their For Whom the Bell Tolls, Enter Sandman).

21 Pigs (Three Different Ones) - Pink Floyd
22 Love Reign O'er Me - The Who
23 In My Darkest Hour - Megadeth
24 Right Now - Van Halen

Singing starts at 1:17

25 Of a Lifetime - Journey

Starts at 1:08 I believe. Great Journey song.
