	The guitar solo in 'Yo Mama' when the keyboards join in, and it sounds so majestic that it takes your breath away. My favourite piece of music ever. Totally spine tingling. Worship at the feet of the master. The best five minutes of rock music, EVER. OK so i'm a fan.

	The guitar/keyboard solo near the end of Dream Theater's "Learning To Live".

	The guitar melody in the second movement of DT's "A Change of Seasons", and the very beginning of the last solo in "Learning to Live" (where it sort of gets slower and slower). The synth melody a couple of minutes into the first track on the first Transatlantic album. Bits all over Soft Machine's "Third" album.

	Thought of a few more... Rush - Between The Wheels, Alex Lifeson' guitar solo towards the end. Twelfth Night - Sequences 'all right lads, over the top we go...' fabulous IQ - The Last Human Gateway, the end which sounds remarkably like 'Supper's Ready' heh-ho never mind it's still great. When I started this thread I was hoping to get some ideas of music which I hadn't heard before. Thanks to all, you haven't let me down!!

	Everything by vdGG. -wait till Joren reads this- King Crimson's nailbiting improvisations on Exiles. BillBruford's alternating drumming on the whole Fragile album. Song of the Gulls on Islands.
	Epic.

	Yes- Soon I get up, I get down Heart of the sunrise(the vocal part) Awaken (starts at 5:11 with that amazing chord progression as Jon starts singing "workings of man set to ply out historical life" goes on for about 2 minutes. Then it starts again after a short brerak at about 9:50 with Steve's guitar and continues until 13:30 with a climax "There's no doubt, no doubt!" definitely my favorite passage by Yes) Pink Floyd - Great gig in the sky(I love her voice!:) Dogs (btw. who sings the song? is it really Roger?) One of my turns-the start of the fast part Queen -March ogf the black queen (You've never seen nothing like it, no never in your life...) Genesis- the Musical box-the beginning King Crimson - Inner garden and many many more, prog is full of such passages, that's why we listen to it:)

	Lots of bits in Mostly Autumn's Shrinking Violet. As billions of people have said, the guitar in Shine on you Crazy Diamond. The bit leading up to the solo in King Crimson's Epitaph.

	Van Der Graaf Generator - "Killer": part beginning 3:54. Masterful, barely keeping it together, but every member is so intuitive, then the coming-together at 4:33. Again: masterful! King Crimson - "The Night Watch": 2:46 - 3:35. Not their best song, but this is one of the ultimate sublime Crimson moments. Genesis - "Firth Of Fifth": 5:46 to end --- PERFECTION, led by Hackett!!!!!! Rush - "Lessons" every time they launch into the chorus. Apologies to vinyl freaks for the exact time notations (I'm also a vinyl freak, but this is much more accurate...)

	Heck, now you got us all started frosty!: the Mellotron entrance into Genesis - "Watcher Of The Skies" chorus of Strawbs' "Ghosts" (threefates said it first, but I totally agree) first time you hear the main riff in Rush's "The Temples Of Syrinx" while we're at it: that ultra-cosmic beginning in Rush's "Cygnus X-1" ALL of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Father Of Night" Heck, I quit now, too many to list! GREAT idea for a thread!!!

	Excellent thread, but so much to list - here's a couple to start with (no doubt I'll return soon): 1 - the mellotron coda to Genesis's 'seven stones' 2 - from 'soon' to the end of the live version of Yes's 'gates of delerium' 3 - 'eclipse' by Pink Floyd 4 - Opeth's 'in my time of need' Back soon......

	I'm trying to go with one per band here...some bands actually have more really cool moments than this. Going with 2 per band... --Ayreon: The beginning of Day 20 when you first hear the synth pattern come in. --Ayreon: The moment where you hear the Kennedy quote in "One Small Step". --Pink Floyd: "Echoes" from Meddle, right after the screaming guitars, when Wright brings the string synth back in. --Pink Floyd: "Wearing the Inside Out" from The Division Bell, where the synth horn from "Shine On" first kicks in. --Opeth: "Epilogue" from My Arms, Your Hearse, especially when the twin solo starts. --Opeth: The bass "solos" in "White Cluster" from Still Life...chilling! --Radiohead: The wordless vocal outro from "How to Disappear Completely", from Kid A. --Radiohead: The last section of "Let Down" from OK Computer. --Symphony X: "Is this the final setting sun?" and the screams that follow, from the song "A Fool's Paradise" on V. --Symphony X: The chorus harmonies in "The Edge of Forever", from The Damnation Game. --Richard Wright: "Sweet July" from Broken China. --Richard Wright: The outro to "Waves" from Wet Dream once the percussion stops.
