    intro tracks just make the song that comes after it more EPIC!

    Yeah, I guess it's a sort of build-up. Sometimes it fits really well, but most of the time it doesn't seem needed.

    I'll use Whitesnake as an example. To my knowledge, they did this thrice; Here I Go Again (82/87), Crying in the Rain (82/87), Fool for Your Loving (80/89). Two out of three of these were actually worse than the originals (Crying in the Rain and Fool for Your Loving). And the one that was better (Here I Go Again) featured worse lyrics than the original ("like a drifter I was born to walk alone" instead of "like a hobo I was born to walk alone").
    Why is drifter worse than hobo?

    Hobo makes more sense. Boxcars and such. Drifter was put in to Americanise it, I think.

    'Hobo' is kind of an ugly word, don't you think?

    Well, drifter sounds better to me, but I guess that's just my LOLOPNION.

    Same here. I would probably listen to "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" much more if it was one solid track, not something broken up into pieces.

    I wouldn't have the attention span to listen to one solid 42 minute song. I like it breaked up because I don't like every part of the song. Throw out Goodnight Kiss and I may be able to listen to the whole thing as one song.

    I'm the opposite. It's always hard for me to jump into the middle of, say, The Wall.

    I have no qualms about long tracks that are broken up into sections. More because I like the extra scrobbles on last.fm than anything.
    There's nothing like a crisis in mid-life.
