There are a ton of iconic/instantly recognizable intros in lots of different genres.
My friend and I came up with a few:
1. Sweet Child O' Mine
2. Back In Black
3. Thriller
4. Man, I Feel Like A Woman
Others?

I just want you to know that
Throughout it all, it's only you
That stuck by me
And for that
I thank you, I love you

Beyonce - Crazy In Love (the horns)
Christina Aguilera - Vanity ("I'm not cocky, I just love myself. Bitch!"
Eurythmics - I Need A Man ("Hey! Is this my turn? You want me to sing now? Okay. WOOOOW!")
George Kranz - Din Da Da (the yell)
Kevin Aviance - Rhythm Is My Bitch ("I am the dominator, you are the servant, and the rhythm is my bitch!")
Madonna - Erotica (the noise of the record leading into the bass)
Madonna - Thief Of Hearts (the glass breaking, "Bitch!")
Madonna - Vogue ("What are you looking at?")
Prince - 319 (the opening phone call)
Sandra - Maria Magdalena (the opening synth keys)
Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay (Thunderpuss Mix) (those opening bars are recognizable anywhere)

I would've said Crazy in Love but that one is a sample  disqualified Ideas: - Europe's 'The Final Countdown' (classic synth!) - Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' (forever representing box and other fights) - Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' (prince's guitar, door shut off and silence) - |

To defend myself: "Just Dance": "RedOne! Konvict! Gaga!" "Poker Face": the "ma ma ma ma" speaks for itself. "LoveGame": so does the HA! part "Paparazzi": It sounds very sinister in the beginning. "Bad Romance" self-explanatory. "Telephone": Same as "Paparazzi". "Alejandro": "I know that we are young and I know that you may love me, but I just can't be with you like this anymore... Alejandro." "Born This Way": "It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M..." "Judas": same as BR TEOG: Those heartbeats... "You & I": The rock influence. "Marry The Night": The keyboard pretty much. "Applause": The KIA commercial speaks for itself. "Do What U Want": What? Gaga has a slow R&B song? "G.U.Y.": "Greetings, Himeros..." |

More:
- Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" (back home associated with the Nightmares horror movies)
- Madonna "Papa Don't Preach" (iconic strings)
- Madonna "Ray of Light" (guitars with some subtle electronic vibe underneath that summarized the whole album)
- Pet Shop Boys "It's a Sin" (drama, religiosity, tension, perfection!)
- Pet Shop Boys "Left to my own devices" (practically a string opus that was great on its own)
- Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (those piano notes may be simple but immortal)
- Meat Loaf "I'd do anything for love" (epic!)

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is YouFrom the opening bells, to Mariah's a cappella-ish part, to the bells ringing louder now as they flow into the first verse... ICONIC!

I guess it's songs like "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Smoke On the Water" that have a really good riff. That's one of the things that can make an intro an iconic one; a really good riff.

"I Like This Song and That Means It's Iconic (To Nobody Else But Me)" is a favourite of mine.  But this is Pulse, after all, so I expected those types of posts. Ballroom BlitzedAnd +1 on the point about Rock riffs, too. Shocked nobody has mentioned "Bye Bye Bye" ftom JT and co.

The opening chord in "A Hard Day's Night" might be the most iconic rock intro of all time.
