It could be a solo, a line being sung, a riff, etc etc.. I have many, I'll put down one. -The 4-note guitar phrase/riff from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - it has that eerie sound. It was what ignited the song, and David wanted a large sound using his amp in a big hall, great tone and sound engineering. |

hundreds perhaps if I really thought of them... but the first to come to mind The beautiful mellotron break after the chaotic intense keyboard/guitar solos in Introduction... like reaching for a Winston after being to the moon by a 6 foot blond with big tits and little intelligence. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

This thread echoes one recently done on the Prog Magazine Facebook page which I contributed to. Some great examples given and I recommend you give it a go, if you find it interesting to see what stirs some prog rock fans. I've tried to find the ones I added or commented upon, in the hope that others will contribute their own. The good thing about this topic is that it is so personal. A flourish of keyboard here or there may do nothing for someone, but stir the emotions or recall a long lost memory to someone else. Yes - Close to the Edge - 13:43 - 14:14 starting with Rick's chord change. Spock's Beard - The Doorway - 4:48 when the keyboard re-kicks the song. Renaissance - Northern Lights - 3:13 when the bass motif heralds the final chorus reprise. Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight - 3:20 Steve's classic soaring guitar run Genesis - The Musical Box - 8:34- 9:00 the climatic build-up getting you clapping inwardly through to Phil's drum roll! The Nice - Diamond Hard Blue Apples of the Moon - 00:11 when the horns and Keith's keyboard kick in. Yes - Ritual - approx. 4 mins when Steve echoes the Close to the Edge guitar riff. Genesis - Firth of Fifth - 6:28 when Steve's guitar solo, already bubbling under, takes off! Marillion - Heart of Lothian - from 2-3 mins just after Fish's shout out to Daltrey....in fact why just stop at 3 mins! Genesis - Supper's Ready - practically all of it, but always liked the keyboard after the "Waiting for Battle!" at 6:37. Dave Cousins - Blue Angel - 6:42 the start of the final section which slowly builds up with Dave's voice and his lyrics never better. Marillion - Easter - 2:30 - 3:55 Steve's beautiful solo, up to that wonderful keyboard run. Hundreds more, but that hopefully stirs up some contributions from you folks and get this thread going. Stopwatches at the ready! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda da vida - when the drum solo finishes and the organ starts, beautiful, the whole solo in fact Rothery - solos in Seasons End, Sugar Mice and this Strange Engine just to name a few Hackett - guitar work on Firth of Filth and Lamia (live is even better) Led Zeppelin - Since I've been Loving you - solo and ending Fish's singing in Blind Curve Jane - Out in the Rain - keyboards and guitar solos. Daytime - the whole song is mindblowing to me.

I love during The Rolling Stone's "Gimme Shelter" - when the female singer sings so high her voice cracks. Also cool to hear Mick say "woo" right after. |

Renaissance - Day of the Dreamer, the middle part: "I stand and gaze upon your smile A deep reflection Held in my soul as a child To grow within the warmth of love Long forgotten Tears flood your eyes in a moment Dreamer, I become as one within you To lose you far away I stay inside your heaven now No longer lonely Once more I'm safe in your arms To feel your touch Across my mind Fills me only full of desire for my being Dreamer, really all that needs a meaning To feel us sail away" When Annie sings "To feel us sail away", I sometimes almost cry, so beautiful

The piano part "Fritha Alone" by Peter Bardens on the original Snow Goose. When hearing that, I wonder what it would be like if Peter recorded a piano-album. Anyway, one of the most beautiful musical moments in the history of ever.

Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge (original 1974 mix) Around 8 minutes there's a part with acoustic guitar and oboe (Mike and Lindsay Cooper), wich makes me cry anytime I hear it. They are joined by some sort of horn midway through, but it's especially the combination of acoustic guitar and oboe wich is unrivalled. The melody is so beautiful and sad and uplifing at once. The 2010-mix is so different, still beautiful, but it has a larger part where the acoustic guitar plays. It sounds calmer and more relaxed (and the trumpet is clearer), but still I prefer the 1974-part, because I got used to it, I guess. Anyway, many, many, many props for the oboe. |

The number one musical moment is very obvious to me. In fact, as soon as I saw this question, the part started playing in my mind! It's so far and away the best melody in recorded history, so I was surprised no one had mentioned it so far. It is... "Starless" 's (King Crimson) opening guitar riff with Mellotron backing it |

-Starless,,,the whole damn song .... but after the jam when they break back into the main theme toward the end is killer. -Hackett's lead part in Firth and the interplay with mellotron and him in Shadow of the Heirophant on Voyage. -Lead guitar part/section in Province by IQ on Frequency -when Yes break into the main part on Close To The Edge after that wild intro -when Genesis breaks into the first keyboard part that starts the songs dynamic section going in Musical Box. -too many more too even mention..... ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I think my top 10 would be these (not necessarily in this order):
And of course there are many, many, many more musical moments that are just as good that I'll chime in with when I think of them. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

During the "Young Lust" solo, I love David yelling out "hah!" for energy.. (after the first 3 notes or so) |

Two moments on Nil's Le Gardien... 1) at 2:40 the transition of Roselyne Berthet's vocals to bass guitar 2) at 9:28 the vocals! Oh those wonderful femme vocals in French make me melt |

| I love all the parts in both Wigwam Losing Hold & Crimson Starless. Also no dead moment to me in Atom Heart Mother. |

At 12:46 in Gates of Delirium - when the main theme is reprised and then gets repeated, progressively higher over the next two minutes through to 'Soon' - very nice! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

1) The last 2 minutes of "Thick as a Brick", with the band trading salvos with the string section, segueing into Ian with just an acoustic. Magic. 2) The lead guitar that starts at 2:20 and goes to the end of the Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's Live 1978 version of "Purple Haze". Perhaps the most brutal lead of all time. 3) The lead from 3:45 to 4:05 of "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Sick. 4) The last minute of The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me". What a finale! 5) The building crescendo that runs from 4:55 to 5:25 of "And You and I". Probably the greatest single sequence of Yes's career. 6) The point in "Halo of Flies" at which Alice Cooper starts singing quietly "But I still did destroy her, and I will smash halo of ..... FLIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS!" 7) The G7sus4 chord (or is it G7add9sus4?) that begins "A Hard Day's Night". No note is more memorable. 8) The building orchestral crescendo that leads to the impossibly slow decaying F major chord at the end of "A Day in the Life". 9) The Moody Blues' "Late Lament" followed by the orchestra and final gong on "Nights in White Satin". 10) The beginning chords of Sabbath's "Supernaut". I'll never get tired hearing that. 11) The cowbell and guitar beginning of "Mississippi Queen". 12) Arthur Brown growling "I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you..." 13) The violin and cello string arrangement at the very end of Bowie's "Rock and Roll Suicide". Or Bowie yelling "This ain't rock and roll, this is GENOCIDE!" Either or. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
