Grateful dead...them tuning before a set starts, and the anticipation of the first beat, having a clue at what they are going to play, just by the notes they fiddle with while tuning...love that.

AS for prog...usual stuff:

Dogs - the middle synth bit w/dogs barking

Cinema show - synth solo

Grendel - last five mins

Incantations - Last 8mins

Gates of delirium - all of it -fave song.

Stranger in your soul & All of the above - both last 4 mins

and ..yeah, someone said 'Jacobs ladder'...

the synth bit in the middle and the very end...love that song

This is a cool topic. So what is the proper term for this phenomena of music that we all enjoy. There's got to be a better term than "spine tingle" and "hair standing".

Also, I noticed, like someone else had said, certain songs can loose their magic and then if you dont listen for awhile it comes back haha. I had this happen with Close to the edge.

Exactly. I had this happen with so many tracks... But I had to stop listening to them for about several months (like eg. the whole Foxtrot album, but I'm afraid Selling England will never regain it's magic for me - I've listened to it so many times )
So, IMO it is good and bad at the same time - this "hair standing", because many tracks are magic, but they can also lose it's magic.

I can usually get back the original thrill of hearing one of these songs if I dont listen for a few weeks. Its a shame you cant experience the joy of the FoF guitar solo any more haha.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHH " then those drums come pounding in right before Dave's guitar brings all hell with it.

That part gets me every time. That makes my hairs stand up more than anything.

 

This just might be my #1 actually!!

A Louse Is Not a Home


by Peter Hammill
on The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (1974)

Time (4:00 to 4:49)

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
                            all say,

Some great passages:

Pink Floyd's "Sheep" ending

The curious but effective piano solo on "Afterwards" (VDGG)

The vocal interplay between Byron & Kerslake at the ending os "Paradise" (Uriah Heep)

Greg Lake's acoustic passage on "Pictures at an Exhibition"

And many, many more

A lot of people have said Starless, by King Crimson, but the spot in particular that gets me every time I hear the whole song from the beginning is the coda, when the mellotron kicks in. Chilling!
Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free
time.

 Totally agree, always been a favourite. For me its from 'Is it a sermon...' onwards that gets me, everytime, no matter what mood i'm in.

I think one of the most chilling moments in KC's dicography is a short ascending guitar passage in Fallen angel , after the "solo" section, and after the first line sung by Wetton. I can't help but shiver everytime I hear it, it's incredible. Also the intro to The night watch and the final crescendo to Fracture are amazing. 

the "battle" section in Supper's ready, as well as the finale,

the "I set a course south-east of Lyra..." section and the finale of Cygnus X-1 by Rush,

the multi vocal part on I get up I get down before it bursts into the organ section, Wurm in Starship trooper - by Yes 

And, if I may , one of the songs that move me most in this world is Lily of the valley by Queen, on Sheer Heart Attack.

"my kingdom for a horse!" (W. Shakespeare, "Richard III")

I notice she hasn,t been included as a prog artist but listen to the second side of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love album a collection of themed songs -The Seventh Wave.It has all the attributes of great prog-brilliant musicianship,a concept and the odd weird noise!

Several pop into my head right away:
  • The vacal layer in "Chance" and in "One Child" by Savatage
  • Willow Farm in Supper' Ready B
  • Several parts in A Passion Play
  • The organ intro on Watcher's of the Sky
  • And ALways the intro to Tubular Bells at night in a darkened room with head phones on.
