I know it's not very prog. But I always thought that the piano that kicks in after the synth at the start of Baba O'Riley by The Who sounds just like what I'd imagine flying to sound like!!
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity.

There is a passage in my dad's house that makes my hairs stand up.

It's bloody cold in that passage...

Why tell us about your Dads passage and about how cold it was when you were last in it?

I was about to relate an eerie tale one early Morning whilst cutting logs of trees - My young Son, grabbed my leg and said "Somebodies here Dad" - I turned around and through the misty day-break (Spooky huh) - I saw a man approaching dressed as though he was an extra from an episode of POLDARK (1970's 17th Century BBC Costume Drama) - Tricorn hat and all, I thought it was a fancy-dress reveller wending his drunken way home after a good-night.....

When he sort of faded into the Mist...He just disappeared !

TRUE STORY.....

The opening moments of IQ's 'Sacred Sound' also the bit later in the track with that amazing church organ!

On Tool's album Lateralus when the spooky quiet track 'Parabol' finishes and then it's wham! straight into 'Parabola's' massive riff, oh man that track just amazes me everytime.

The guitar at the beginning of Restless Skylight by Amon Duul II

Ayreons track' Day Two: Isolation', the whole song is a mixture of soft emotional singing and brilliant heavy riffs and keyboards with many, many goodbumps along the way.

Porcupine Tree's 'Don't Hate Me' the whole song but particularly the Sax solo its so beautiful..

Pain of Salvation's Track 'Pluvius Aestivus' from the album 'Be' its go this wonderful piano over rain drops. Also Daniels beautiful singing on the track 'Iter Impius' it's will melt your heart

Braintickets track 'Places of Light' swoozy flute and guitar and Dawn Muirs breathless talking/singing.

I agree with quite a few other here that Pink Floyds 'Careful with that Axe, Eugene' is one of the all time spine tingling tracks too.

 

Don't hate me

Some of the most hair-raising moments are provided by Peter Hammill. The moment he shouts "arrow" for the first time on "Arrow" from "Godbluff" by Van der Graaf Generator, also the closing lines he sings on it. Another moment is the line "It doesn't feel right when there's that little dark figure running. Won't somebody help me?" from "House With No Door". Or "I don't believe in anything, anywhere in the world!" from "Betrayed". Of course "hair-raising" is only a figure of speech for me.

Opeth - the second half of "Closure", the arabian sounding part

Radiohead - all of "Exit Music (for a Film)"

TooL - the part in Lateralus:

"With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going..."

A passage no mentioned here:

Further Away (IQ):

Don't let me fail, don't ever break
Roll me out where I am
Let me in 'cause I've seen too much
Day by day and I don't know why

I love that song!!!

The climatic chord change towards the end of "Stranger In Your Soul" by Transatlantic.  The bit where Morse sings:  "Let's dive and never hit the ceiling."

The multi-layered vocal harmony during "Fluke" off TERRIA by Devin Townsend.  A beautiful album anyway, but that is one of it's crowning moments.

When the horns kick in on "Parting Ways" by Gentle Giant.  Superb stuff.

The middle section of "Ommadawn pt 2" by Mike Oldfield.  So emotional!

Also a lot of stuff by Sigur Ros and Ghost (Japanese psych-rock band).

And a couple of choices I seem to share with everyone like the end "Entangled" by Genesis and "And You And I" by Yes.

A lot of them are Opeth but meh.

All of these songs just are just very special to me, they all make my hairs stand:

  • Ayreon - Day Thirteen: Sign
  • Beatles - Something
  • Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
  • Beatles - A Day in the Life
  • Beatles - Across the Universe
  • Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

  • John Lennon - #9 Dream
  • John Lennon - Imagine
  • John Lennon - Jealous Guy
  • John Lennon - Mind Games
  • Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all but some of the beginning and the sax - I dislike the instrument )

And then certain parts of these songs:

  • Ayreon - Amazing Flight 02:00 - 02:26 (gotta admit, there's a strong cheese factor here but damn, I can't help it; that part by Arjen just sends shivers down my spine!)
  • Ayreon - Day Twelve: Trauma 06:40 - 06:55
  • Ayreon - Day Twenty: Confrontation 04:56 - 06:35
  • Opeth - April Ethereal 03:38 - 04:42
  • Opeth - Blackwater Park 09:35 - end
  • Opeth - Black Rose Immortal 09:42 - 11:55
  • Opeth - Demon of the Fall 02:15 - 03:08
  • Opeth - Face of Melinda 04:25 - 05:33
  • Opeth - The Twilight Is My Robe 03:34 - 05:35
  • Opeth - To Bid You Farewell 03:10 - 05:12
  • Opeth - Under the Weeping Moon 07:33 - 08:30

Cold:

Ozric Tentacles - Eternal Wheel (erpland version): The hypnotic passage at around 3:00-3:55, and the build-up + climax + guitar solo at around 4:43-6:18. Fantastic track.

Slint - Good Morning Captain: The ending part where it turns into this industrial metal sound that starts at 6:00-the end, with "I miss you!!!". Great riffs, great sound.

Buckethead - Jump Man: 1:45-3:30 When the bass beat starts going, and the solo "flies" in. Such butter.

Warm:

Buckethead - Population Override: The smooth transition into the midplay which consists of a great soundscape and superb keyboard solos, starting around 2:55-5:20.

Camel - Rhayader: The 1:28-2:34 passage. Great soundscape, great solo.

Focus - Focus(instrumental): Passage starting at 4:00 turning the soft ballad into a huge party of beautiful chaos. Fantastic instrumentation by Leer and Akkerman, not to mention Dresden who is superb on the bass.

To name a few

Dream Theater - Learning to Live: The fade out alone is jaw dropping.

Genesis - Aisle of Plenty: Amazing ending to one of the greatest albums of all time.

Caravan - Nine Feet Underground: This entire song leaves me completely floored, great musicianship!

Renaissance - Scheherazade:  The first the minutes are absolutely amazing. They sound like a supergroup.


Renaissance - Mother Russia:  Annie's voice really gets to me on this song. She seems to hit the perfect notes, especially the final part before the soft flute returns. Breathtaking.

VDGG - Plauge of Lighthouse Keepers - a lot of great moments from Presence of The Night till the end

Genesis - CAN-Utility And... - the last 1 or 2 minutes are brilliant

KC - Moonchild - first part

Rush - Jacob's Ladder - the very beginning, and every time the vocalist is singing (after great beginning, near the middle, and at the end)

Great thread!

The multi layered/ medieval vocals on Pantagruels Nativity by Gentle Giant.

The very last drum fill in the court of the crimson king. Argh!! it's the best!

''I have walked between the poles, for me there's no mystery''...That section (and more) gives me the shivers. As does the end of supper's ready.

and another one, my favorite song ever A day in the life. John Lennons voice is just haunting on it
