Opening bars and riffs

I was listening to a lot of radio while bereft of internet, and noticed something about most of the songs on France Inter (apart from the world music). Memorable songs usually have an interesting and distinctive introduction. These songs started (and continued) with what sounded like samples packaged with a musicmaking program. Anodyne. Stairway to the other side of the room.

If this is rife, what will the teams on Never Mind The Buzzcocks do?
