Yep. One of many that comes to mind was No More Broken Dreams off Beggars And Thieves' self titled debut, was one of many blind purchases (an Andrew recommendation back when) recall that track getting replayed quite a number of times before moving forward with the rest of the record LOL...

Just loved that intro, as clique as the song may have been it was regardless a killer opening song to a killer record!

Many other opening tracks from back in the day hit like that too \m/
