The grass Roots - Live for today
It has a count multiple times as the intro to the refrain
The snippet of the orchestra session that appears as a coda on King Crimson’s “Islands” (though missing from some pressings): “We’re going to do it twice more, once with the oboe, once without it, and then…we’re done. [Tuning, control room noise, beeps.] One-two-three, two-two-three” followed by silence; the album is over.
“Perfect Crime” - Guns & Roses “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8!!”
“Saturday Night Special” - Lynyrd Skynyrd. Starts with “1, 2,…1, 2, 3”
“Sweet Home Alabama” - Lynyrd Skynyrd. Starts with “1…2…3…”
Man by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a good one.
"I’ll count it - count it off.

Free Four by Pink Floyd.
One, Two, FREE, FOUR!
Paul (I’m pretty sure it’s Paul) counting back into “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at the (almost) end of the album.
