great thread, fun reading and even better listening!

here are other top-notch moments:

Gentle Giant - "I Lost My Head" once the heavy guitar kicks in, presaged by Minnear playing the theme on straight piano first.

Voivod - "The Prow", all of it really, but especially 1:22 - 2:20, bridge and guitar solo, magnificent

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - "L'evoluzione" 4:26 - 7:32. 'Darwin' is incredible, and this is one of the greatest moments on this or any other Banco album.

Museo Rosenbach - beginning moments at 2:14 - 2:53, which is the main theme of the album and repeats a lot during the whole listen. An amazing melody.

Pink Floyd - Live At Pompeii version of 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' when Waters unleashes that bloodcurdling scream. The most hair-raising, spine-tingling moment of all???

Thanks slipperman for reminding me of Voivod Tribal Convictions from Dimension Hatross has a fantastic drum intro that explodes when Piggy's guitar hits you with those power chords, a must have for anyone who enjoys prog metal.

I tried to limit the Voivod selections, too numerous to mention!!! VOIVOD is TOP NOTCH STUFF.

bonus Voivod hair-stander-upper: the bass break in the middle of "Missing Sequences"...

Gilmour sings all of "Dogs" up until the "Gotta admit..." part which is where Roger takes over.

  • That amazing chord crash at the beginning of Genesis' Dance on a Volcano
  • When the distortion kicks in (both times) in Radiohead's Paranoid Android
  • "Touch Me" section of the Musical Box is classic
  • Rush's Freewill: "I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose freewill"
  • Synth effect in Rush's Natural Science before "A quantum leap forward..."
  • "I get up I get down" in CTTE
  • "All those many years ago" in Yes' Turn of the Century (breaks my heart)
  • Piano interlude between Kayleigh and Lavendar on Marillion's Misplaced Childhood
  • Barking Dogs on Floyd's Dogs
  • "There must be someone who can set me free" part of ELP's KE9 1st impression
  • Many part of ELP's Toccata are bone-chillingly good
  • Chick Corea's synth solo in Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant from RTF's Romantic Warrior
  • End of Rush's Vital Signs
  • Intro to Xanadu, again, classic

there are a few, i know some are repeats

RE: Vocals on Dogs - I was always off the impression that Dave Gilmour sings the Verses and Roger sings the Outro - I think - "Who was born in a house" - (w/ Dave singing back up pharses) it certainly sounds like this on "California Stockyard" Bootleg - from Anaheim Stadium 77' - as to the LP I'm not sure - can anyone confirm this?

 

2 more hair stander-er-up-er's are:

 the mellotron on Heart of the Sunrise during the snakey, sinewy, bass break - it's Wakeman's most sinister tron' moment IMO

and when the guitars come in on "Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" - Yoooouuuu....can't yoy see he's fooled you all.....

Oh man, that's a good moment.

For me:

Hacket's solo from Dancing With The Moonlit Knight

The Opening of Cinema Show

The Final Cut from Floyd's The Final Cut

The End section to 'Love Supreme' by The Flower Kings

Martin Orford's solo in Widow's Peak from IQ's 'The Wake'

Zappa's dubbed in solo on Yo' Mama from Sheik Yerbouti

Buckley's scream in 'Grace'

I agree with starofsirius, I first noticed that it is sung by different men when I saw the live version of Dogs on Waters' "In the Flesh" DVD, where Gilmour's parts are done by Waters' keyboard/guitar player. Then I listened to the original CD and realized that "Gotta admit..." is a bit different from the first two verses.

A lot of shouts for KC's Starless, is this generally regarded as their best work?

I often find there are two or three camps of KC fans - one's who think the first LP is their masterpiece and others who find RED [1974] their masterpiece -  and other again who say their last LP is the best work they've done - it certainly was impressive the last LP.

But Starless is the highlight of a brilliant LP RED and one of the most sinister pieces of music I've ever heard - excepting Univers Zero's Heresie maybe. The guitar solo's builds to an unbelievably powerful crescendo - just one note repeats up the neck at very sinister intervals indeed. It's undeniably one of KC's finest moments, Frosty.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder -

How could I have forgotten the mellotron swell in the middle of 'Epitaph'?

This is also a good choice of a Floyd moment...well, really a Roger Waters solo moment, but if you count TFC as a Waters solo, it's the best he's ever done.

This song is excellent because the lyrics actually approach REAL honesty (not just blind anger), and the string arrangement by Michael Kamen is nothing short of phenomenal.

Two new moments.

--Dream Theater: From "Space Dye Vest" on Awake when you hear the words, "I want you to have your own thoughts, even when I hold you in my arms." I admit I don't really notice the words before this, but the second I hear this section I pay attention. It's almost like an old Pink Floyd moment, like something on Dark Side of the Moon when the music and the concept/sound clip aspects were both at their best.

--Dream Theater: "The Spirit Carries On", from Scenes from a Memory. I feel weird naming this song considering I'm not sure I even like the overall album or even want to keep it. But there IS something about this particular song that is special...and no matter what I do with the entire album, I'll surely burn this song and keep it.

though of another few, all in the same song!

Well, since I am a TMV freak, here we go

-The opening moments of Take the veil, the breakdown right before the bass solo (My gosh, the sweet bass solo!)  Then the following jam.

- Yes- Close to the edge, the whole thing.

-Pink Floyd- the intro to Time.

-Rush- Natural Science, the whole thing.

-Rush- La villa strangiato

I woulda said the entire song.
