  • the first four guitar notes in "Shine on you crazy diamond"
  • the beginning of "Ticks & leeches" by Tool
  • "Moonchild" (especially when Lake sings drifting in the echoes of the hour...) and "Sailor's tale" by King Crimson
  • when "Strip the soul" [Porcupine Tree] opens up... and most of PT songs, actually *
  • the bass solo in "Bourée" and when the whole band joins the piano and Ian's voice in "My God" [Jethro Tull]

I can't think of anything else right now...

You've just inspired me to throw on some Red.

How about this little beauty?

We sleep by the ever-bright hole in the door,
eat in the corner, talk to the floor,
cheating the spiders who come to say "Please",
(politely). They bend at the knees.
Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
Old gentlemen talk of when they were young
of ladies lost, of erring sons.
Lace-covered dandies revel (with friends)
pure as the truth, tied at both ends.
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
Scented cathedral spire pointed down.
We pray for souls in Kentish Town.
A delicate hush the gods, floating by
wishing us well, pie in the sky.
God of ages, Lord of Time, mine is the right, right to be wrong.
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
Jack rabbit mister spawn a new breed
of love-hungry pilgrims (no bodies to feed).
Show me a good man and I'll show you the door.
The last hymn is sung and the devil cries "More."
Well, I'm all for leaving and that being done,
I've put in a request to take up my turn
in that forsaken paradise that calls itself "Hell"
where no-one has nothing and nothing is- well -meaning fool,
pick up thy bed and rise up from your gloom smiling.
Give me your hate and do as the loving heathen do.

My favorite part of APP, and some of Ian Anderson's best lyrics.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

Hello.

My personal Top 10 goose bumps moments (no particularly order):

Outer Limits: the bombastic final part featuring Mellotron and violin in the titletrack The scene of pale blue

Anekdoten: the Mellotron intro from Karelia on their debut album Vemod

Le Orme: the splendid build-upgrand finale in the titletrack from Felona e sorona

Fantasy: the choir-Mellotron eruptions on the song Alanderie from Beyond the beyond

Pallas: ultra-bombastic choir-Mellotron eruptions in March to Atlantis on their album The Sentinel

Triana: the flamenco guitar runs during the first minutes of the song Abre le puerta in their debut album El Patio

Yes-Yessongs: synthesizer-electric guitar duel from Howe and Wakeman in Wurm (Starship Trooper part 3)

Genesis-Firth of fifth on Seconds Out: grand finale from the very moving electric guitar solo, supported by choir-Mellotron eruptions

King Crimson-Red: halfway Starless the nerve-racking chainsaw electric guitar

Pink Floyd-The Wall: super compelling guitar solo in Comfotably numb

Prog wouldn't be prog if it didn't have too many such passages to even BEGIN mentioning.

It would be mind blowing to try and single anything out...

Instead, I'll just add to all that was already written in this thread with something noone mention yet, which is;

The final acoustic part of The Drapery Falls, by Opeth, beginning with:

''Spiralling to the ground below...''

Nothing's made my hair stand on end, but I like these very, very much, that should count for something. It does, doesn't it?

-The part in "The Musical Box" right before he begins the "play me my song" bit for the second time (I trust you know what I'm talking about)

-the sax solo in VDGG's "Man-Erg"

-the climactic part in "Kosmos Tours" from "Plague of the Lighthouse Keepers"

-The "Master inner voices" part in GG's "Experience

-The mellotron/haunting acoustic guitar part in Harmonium's "Depuis L'Automne"

-Soon

-The beginning passage of A Passion Play (after the intro)

-The flute at the beginning of "Apocolypse in 9/8" (and the rest of it for that matter)

-The whole of "In the Wake of Poseidon"

-When the middle section is interrupted in "On Reflection with "Look back i's not your game, together just in name"

-The haunting part in "Schooldays"

- "Presence of the Night" from "Plague of etc."

-When the quiet organ comes in in "Picures/Lighthouse"

-The whole of "Lemmings"

-Everything on ITCOTCK (minus a few things)

Amongst others

First: A great thread!

All what I think about passages, which make stand my hair are allready mentioned, which I won't repeat 'cause it's already written, but there are few more:

The last two minutes of "Three Friends" from GENTLE GIANT - the band choir and the mellotron melodies repeats through the fadeout and always gives me chills, any time I listen to it.

The beginning section, flute solo and chorus of "I Remember" from PSYCHOTIC WALTZ.

Most parts of "Us And Them" by FLOYD.

The whole "The Lamia" and "Cinema Show/Aisle Of Plenty" from GENESIS.

The acoustic guitar intro, lead guitar, verses and chorus of "Guardian" from FATES WARNING.

"A Change Of Seasons" from DREAM THEATER - the part which breaks in after over 13 minutes.

The passage of "Epitaph" by KING CRIMSON, where Greg Lake sings "But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying."

"I Grieve" from PETER GABRIEL.

"Russia On Ice" with it's dark mood - PORCUPINE TREE

wow, one stands out

the rapid transition in The Ancient from Howe's wicked soloing to Anderson's chatting and Howe's beautiful acoustic playing.

'So the flowering creativity of life wove its Web face to face with the shallow And their Gods sought out and conquered ... Ah Kin'

that definity is a 'hair raiser' to me.

Lyrics:

I've lived in houses of brick and lead
where all emotion is sacred,
and if you want to devour the fruit
you must first sniff at the fragrance
and lay your body before the shrine
with poems and posies and papers ----
or, if you catch the ruse, you'll have to choose
to stay, a monk, or leave, a vagrant.
What is this place you call home?
Is it a sermon or a confession?
Is it the chalice that you use for protection?
Is it really only somewhere you can stay?
Is it a rule-book or a lecture?
Is it a beating at the hands of your Protector?
Does the idol have feet of clay?
Home is what you make it, so my friends
                    &nbs p;       all say,

 


YES YES YES!!!! I've been in love with this song lately, the part that always gets me is 'The Silent watcher he makes me uneasy, i can feel him through the floorboards and his presence is creepy, he informs me, that i shall be expelled."

Absolutely mindblowing..!!!!!!!

I'm listening to it RIGHT now!

And yes, fantastic.

Incidentally, I bought Red yesterday and heard Starless for the very first time... That magical transition around 11.20 makes me literally gasp for breath. I'm so happy that this song turned out to be just as fabulous as all the raving suggested it to be. One of the very few prog songs that I have loved right from the get-go.

I was made to love magic

These are guaranteed to give me the vertical hairfactor:

1.The break in Journey To The Center Of The Mind by the Amboy Dukes and the sustained note held during that.

2.The solo Keith Emerson does in 'Mars The Bringer Of War' off of Emerson Lake and Powell.

3.The hyperspeed strumming done by Hacket on 'Dancing Out With The Moonlit Knight' off of Selling England.

4.The opening guitar work to Bridge Of Sighs by Robin Trower.
