Almost all of Meddle.. and the first time I really 'heard' Tarkus. Also, the middle section of U.K.'s 'Carrying No Cross' does it to me. Much non-prog too, many Randy Rhoads and Eddie VH solos, and Uli Jon Roth.

In the song "Sexual Behavior In The human Male" by Gerogerigegege, near the end of the song, the guy talking about all these "Statistic's" stops talking, then a few seconds later he says what sounds like "Aho" really loud. And then fallows it with "taco taco taco"
i love it |

Why? I love Heart of Sunrise. Bruford's drums build-up get me goosebumps all the time.
Anyway, I'm Terryl from Thailand. Since my discovery of prog almost ten years ago, i've always got goosebumps listening to those prog masters. So, this is what I come up with, without any order of any sort. Cirkus' Letter to Simone, from their third and least known Pantomyme album. Pretty mellow, cheesy but beautiful. Kansas' Hopelessly Human. It's the chorus part. Mickey Simmond's piano prelude in his solo album, the shape of rain. Pain of Salvation's alternative version of Ashes in 12.5. Pink Floyd's The Trial from the Wall. That majestic phrase "Tear Down the Wall!" Rick Wakeman's intro and Finale of Return to the Center of the Earth Arena's Sirens, from Pride Album. The last parts of the song in particular . The first verse of Vangelis & Anderson's Horizon, from The Private Collection album. There are more, but I have to work now. Maybe later. |

Can - In 'Paper House' from Tago Mago, when Damo screams ''YOU JUST CAN'T GIVE THEM NO MORE!'' repedeatly...
Electric Light Orchestra - In '10538 Overture', when the loud, bombastic cello fills the speakers... Also when Jeff sings ''Did you see the man... Running through the street today?'' Godspeed You! Black Emperor - In 'Antennas To Heaven', at 05.21 after the moving buildup, the loud burst comes. The guitar is tear jerking I tells ya! In 'The Dead Flag Blues', the last four paragraphs of the spoken words... Hawkwind - In 'You Shouldn't Do That', about four minutes in, when you hear the whispers going ''Shouldn't do that... Shouldn't do that... Shouldn't do that...''. Jethro Tull - In 'Thick As A Brick', the section starting at 17.34, when Ian sings ''I see your shuffle in the courtroom... etc.''. Gets me every damn time. King Crimson - In 'Lizard' at 14:24, that saxophone riff is so awesome, and the flute going nuts is great... 'Starless', the middle buildup. Begins as a gentle guitar crescendo, then ends as a frantic one... Pink Floyd - 'Breathe', the whole song is so lovely... 'The Great Gig In The Sky', as soon as the vocal solo starts I get blown away! 'Brain Damage', the chorus is amazing. Goosebumps everytime... Also, the fading heartbeat in 'Eclipse' is gets me as well. Sigur Rós - In 'Starálfur', at 02:27... What seems to be the ''chorus''. It is tearjerkingly beautiful... The Beatles - In 'A Day In The Life', when John sings the first verse, and the final piano chord. Van der Graaf Generator - In 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers', the opening, almost foggy D minor chord is one of the biggest goosebump moments in my life... |

Yeah, I forgot to name this mandatory one: the female vocal scream on "The Great Gig In The Sky". The PULSE version brings me to tears!

I love the version on "The Dark Side of the Moon", but the Pulse version leaves me completely cold. they needed 3 different women to have it sung live, and none of them reaches the emotional peaks of Claire Torry, not by a mile. and why the heck did they have to repeat that emotional outburst note for note, which is my biggest complaint? this passage screams (in a double sense of the word) for an improvised rendering |

it's simple. being able to see the singer doubles the emotional impact; visual contact remains the strongest way to send emotional messages. i couldn't comment on the musical quality of the piece, but i enjoy it a lot; and the singers exchange is a brilliant surprise for me, that i also enjoy.

I agree with Jean 100%. I've heard several versions of "The Great Gig in the Sky", both on record and live, and there is absolutely NO comparison with the original, and Clare Torry's performance. |

I had to think about this for a day, and I could still only come up with two that I haven't read already among the many posts here. Pink Floyd - The moment the guitar solo first comes in on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
Genesis - "Stagnation" When Peter comes in with "I wanna drink, I wanna drink..." Edited by TerLJack - February 18 2007 at 09:53 |

The finale of Dark Side of the Moon
Gates of Delirium...mid-way through, Alan White slamming on the toms before it bursts into that exquisite melody Wind at my Back - the finale of Spock's Beard's Snow Intro to "Revealing Science of God" Awaken - when the pipe organ comes thundering towards the end So many more...that goosebump effect is one of the main reasons I love prog...traditional song structure is just not as conducive to developing that kind of tension and release...

#1 - The guitar solo on 'Deep Peace' off Terria by Devin Townsend. It's the most beautiful guitar solo i have ever heard

Hello fellow progheads, thanks
Greenback, you have posted so many ultimate goose bumps moments, did you already listen to prog when you were still in your mother's womb ?
Well, Newbie Axel Dyberg , that is a varied list
A few more from me:
- The choir-Mellotron eruptions and the Moog Taurus bass pedals in Actions And
Reactions on the album Earthly Paradise by Epidaurus
- The Holy Trinity of guitar, flute and Minimoog in the exciting song Undefeatable on
Live In Los Angeles by Solaris
- Vicente Amigo his flamenco guitar in the Prog Andaluz blues Desde Cordoba by
Medina Azahara on the album En El-Hakim
- The compelling final part in the suite Felona E Sorona by Le Orme
All progrock moments of ULTIMATE GOOSE BUMPS as they
should be described in The Wikipedia Progrock Encylopedia

The whole 'Starless' song for me, but especially, the middle section with tha tguitar exploring the tensions of a one chord progression and the ifrst motif's reprise at the ened, making it a wonderful climax.

Well, to be honest, that’s pretty hard to decide…let’s see (in no particular order!): · Cirkus (King Crimson): the interplay of piano and sax after the first one or two (I don’t remember really)…simply beautiful. · Unevensong (Camel - version from A Live Record): the delicious finale of Mel Collins and Andy Latimer sharing duties backed by the terrific drums of Andy Ward…very good ending of a live song (that could be a thread…uhmmmm…). · The whole Au Dela Du Delire…chaos and beauty at the same time! · The whole Godbluff…I can’t think of any moment here that don’t cause me goose bumps, it’s just that simple, that album is a masterpiece from beginning to end. · Migration (Camel - version from A Live Record): that midpart arrange…my god!!! Amazing!!! I could say “the whole live rendition of The Snow Goose” …but that probably would bothers you… · Pictures of a City (King Crimson): the best beginning of a song! (a new thread as well…uhmm) eponymous sax and everything…and then beautiful drum work…and then · Winter Wine (Caravan): that guitar riff from Pye repeated over and over…beautiful. · Nine feet underground (Caravan): I hope not to cause any traumas but this epic easily knocks down Supper’s Ready and similar ones…much more cohesive and peaceful… The best for last… · Master Builder (Gong): The whole song is gorgeous…the mantra intro, the entering of Moerlen at his best, then Bloomdido and his sax…and then the lyrics…I could go on and on…excellent! · And this, without a doubt, cause goose bumps to all of us…the great Hillage guitar solo of FIRTH OF FIFTH! Anything to say about this one…I don’t think so… |

I find the following pretty inducing of eerie chills and goosebumps:
Musical Box - Genesis (not much of a news flash); Carpet Crawlers - Genesis (same); Gates Of Delirium - Yes (the whole song, actually); Misunderstood - Dream Theater (well, speaking of Yes...); Narcissus - Threshold (speaking of prog-metal...); Extension Of The Wish - Andromeda (on with the prog-metal); They Are Beautiful - Paatos; No Quarter - Covered by Tool and the original itself; Dogs - Pink Floyd; Child In Time - Deep Purple (I deem it progressive); Karn Evil 9 (Second Impression) - ELP; Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas (strange find it this one); Sleep Of No Dreaming - Porcupine Tree (pulling it a bit too far, but...); Dirt From A Holy Place - OSI; Cygnus X-1 - Rush (the entrance, at the least); Not necessarily in the prog boundary: Dazed And Confused, No Quarter and any songs (including the earlier mentioned) played live - Led Zeppelin. |

"Jenseits" by Ash Ra Tempel. The moment Rosi starts speaking "Weisst du noch der Garten am Ende der Straße?" ("Do you remember the garden at the end of the street?") gets me every time; I know the whole speech by heart. Some might say it is nothing but drug-induced kitsch, and I would even agree, but I love it nevertheless.
