Being a Dream Theater and John Petrucci fan, I am tempted to rattle off a ton of their songs, but I'll spare you all.

ozzy - perry mason and breakin the rules
yes - heart of the sunrise (although i know its been mentioned already)
boston - foreplay
muse - hysteria
chili peppers - around the world

i have too many to name, but i wasnt sure if we were just naming bass intros, or any intro that sounded cool.

Billy Squire - In the Dark
Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun
XTC - Summer's Cauldron
King Crimson - LTIA Part I
Led Zep - The Rain Song / Ten Years Gone / Over the Hills and Far Away
Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
There are so many. The Crimson song violates the rule by taking a long time to build up, but it's still cool.

My best ever...Watcher Of The Skies - Genesis
Closely followed by Xanadu - Rush
Both simply awesome! Play 'em both very loud!!!!!
Edit: Also my vote for most over the top intro ever goes to Rainbow's Eyes Of The World (on Down To Earth)
Magnificent overblown stuff!!!!
