how does that work? getting rid of all traces of hair? seems a bit unnatural, is it religious or do you just not like hair? I don't think I've heard of anyone doing that. |

You know what's going to happen to you, don't you? OK, back IT... Off the top of my head: - the endings to KC's "Epitaph", "In the Wake of Poseidon" and "Starless"; - the reprise of the initial theme of ELP's "the Barbarian", with Emerson's Hammond going really over the top; - the moment of transition between "Battlefield" and "Aquatarkus" in ELP's "Tarkus"; - Wakeman's spectacular organ solo at the beginning of CTTE's fourth movement, "Seasons of Man"; - Blackmore's blistering guitar solo in Deep Purple's "Child in Time" (preferably the live version from "Made in Japan); - Martin Barre's super-heavy guitar riffing at the beginning of Jethro Tull's "My God"; - the intro to Rush's "Test for Echo" (the song); - the frantic crescendo of the guitar-violin duel in High Tide's "Death Warmed Up". |

Most VDGG songs give me goosebumps as does most of Darktown by Steve Hackett.

Off the top of my head, the climax of Riverside's "Dance with the Shadow". That part of the song is just amazing, gives me goosebumps almost every time!

- The flute and drum break in the middle of Genesis' "The Musical Box".
- The entirety of Van der Graaf Generator's "Refugees", especially the "Toooooooooooooo theeeeeeeeeeee west!" part. - The chorus of Disillusion's "Dread It" with the swirling effects and subtle choir. - The pre-chorus and chorus of X-Japan's "Dahlia" with the clean-tone guitar with a delay. - The intro and piano solo of X-Japan's "Art of Life". - King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind". - The chorus of Pink Floyd's "Time". - Pretty much every chorus of Pain of Salvation's "Remedy Lane" album. - The intro of Kayo Dot's "The Manifold Curiosity". - Marillion's "Script for a Jester's Tear" (the song). - Steve Hackett's "The Lovers". - The Flower Kings' "A Vampire's View". That's all I can think of now, there are probably many more. |

Good thread! Too many to mention, but here goes.. When Lee's vocals kicks in on 2112. The beautiful "jam" in Nimrodel by Camel (7:00). Renaissance - Scheherazade And Other Stories. The whole album gives me goosbumbs, im not even joking. One of my favourite prog albums ever, simply amazing.
Mainhorse - Pale Sky (8:48). I wanted to shed a tear when I first heard this track. I just love Lockett's vocals.
Comus - Drip Drip (9:05).
King Crimson - Red (7:53).
Novalis - Sommerabend (12:01). Everytime I listen to this track I feel like living in the 70's. Fantastic song from a fantastic band.
I could go on forever but those where what I could think of right now..

Bravo. Great idea for a thread
Opeth - "Spiralling to the ground below like autumn leaves" section of The Drapery Falls, as well as my favorite of all time "Mist ripples round your thin white neck" section of Bleak.
GY!BE - The monologue at the beginning of Sleep, and when the drums come in after the long intro to "Storm" (gets me everytime)
Caravan - The piano section as well as the "So we'll sail away for just one day" section of In the Land of Grey and Pink.
Porcupine Tree - the "She waits for me" multiple voice part of Heart Attack in a Layby. The sudden fade and "We lost the skyline, stepped right off the map" section of TSMS Phase 1. The "If I called would you come and would you save me" then huge swell in Russia on Ice.
PFM - The acoustic break at 3:31 in Per Un Amico.
Sigur Ros - The first "fo ho" (sorry I don't know what Jonsi's saying) of Saeglopur. The section starting at 4:10 of Staralfur.
Pink Floyd - Naturally, the guitar solos in Comfortably Numb. The beginning of Summer '68. The piano's intro on High Hopes.
Syd Barrett - The first few lines of Terrapin. And of course the "wouldn't you miss me?" section of Dark Globe.
A Silver Mt. Zion - The "there's fresh mead in the club tonight" and then the "lost a friend to..." sections of God Bless Our Dead Marines. Oh and almost forgot about the ending (check my sig).
Jethro Tull - Slipstream and Cheap Day Return. The "won't you have some company" section of Velvet Green.
Camel - When the entire band comes in on "Rhayader".
Ayreon - Michael's first lines "You've been deserted, everyone has left you. You know it's always been that way" in Day Two: Isolation. The beautiful flute in the intro of Day 13: Sign.
Alright, there are a ton more, but I'm just gonna stop there. Hooray for wonderful music! Edited by lightbulb_son - February 16 2007 at 21:49 |

At the risk of making everyone puke, Heart of the Sunrise. It was when listening to this song (many years ago, as a kid, headphones on in the dark) that I first disovered how music could be a way of accessing a realm of transcendent experience.

Top ten in no order, otherwise I'll be hear all day.
* The bit in Arena's "Solomon" that starts with the lines "Does it matter to you? In the lion's cage we're all the same" until the end of the song, with a intense guitar melody. * The small segment of Pendragon's "The Shadow" starting with the lines "I ran and I ran, to go as far as I can" * The way Peter Gabriel sings " Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa. From Supper's Ready. * Andy Latimer's guitar solo from Chord Change. * The part in Marillion's "Warm Wet Circles" starting after the solo with the lines "She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse" until the end. * The lines "What kind of mother, leaves a child in the traffic, turning tricks in the dark" from Marillion's "When I Meet God." * The line " All the time, I had waited with rage" from Ayreon's "Day Three: Pain." * The repeating guitar melody that starts about half way through Steve Hackett's "Rebecca" * The echoey tremolo picked guitar fills from "The Mars Volta's Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)" * The first guitar solo from Red Sand's "Blame". I've probably missed a ton of good moments, but oh well. |

Let me get the Marillion moments out of the way first:
-Rothery's guitar solo during the "Fallin' From The Moon" section of The Great Escape (actually the final 15-20 minutes of Brave gives me the warmies) -On Marbles On The Road during "Living With The Big Lie" when H alters the vocals and yells, "The Cold War's gone, but those b*****ds will find us another, and another, and another, and another...." -Marillion's "Easter" (one long goosebump) -Hogarth's vocals on "Beautiful" -"Afraid Of Sunlight". 'Nuff said. -The final moments of "This Strange Engine" -Rothery's guitar solo on "Sugar Mice" -"Fantastic Place" from Marbles -The thunderous boom the band makes during "Gazpacho" after the line, "You can tell it to the ocean" -Rothery's guitar solo on "Neverland" Other: -The guitar solo of Hackett's on "Firth Of Fifth" -Neal Morse's "Cradle To The Grave", the beginning of "12", and the bombastic finale of "Oh, To Feel Him" from Testimony -The finale of "The Great Nothing" -Supper's Ready's finale -Lifeson's guitar solo on "Limelight" -Riverside's "The Curtain Falls" (love the guitar solo) -Ruddess' synth solo on "Octavarium" -Dream Theater's "Surrounded" is one big goose bump -Kansas' "The Wall" -The chorus on Kansas' "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" -IQ's "Harvest Of Souls" -Fudge Smith's drum fills on "As Good As Gold" I'm sure there's more that I'm leaving out.

Nice thread Erik
The most beautiful thing i find in progressive music is that it gives me goose bumps like no other music can.
The kind of feeling that some progressive music awakes in me is something i could never describe..
Here is my ultimate goose bumps list :
The midle of the song Epitaph ,flute and mellotron combining slow mellodies between great mellotron eruptions and crying Greg Lake vocals.My favorite song!!!
The start of mellow vocals with warm keyboards,after intense beginning in Sospesi Nell Incredibile by Orme .
The ending minutes of the song L'Evoluzione by Banco(powerful piano with the most emotive vocals).
750,000 Anni Fa ... L'Amore? ...midle of the song,strange and haunting keyboard play by Nocenzi.
Apena un po by PFM ,the remarquable ending with dreamy mellotron .
High Hopes by Pink Floyd,when Dave start to sing 'the grass was greener....''.
Druga strana mene(the other side of me) by Tako,the midle of the song,intense and emotive flute play,then eruptions of powerful haunting hammond organ...wow!!!Shame that it is still so unknown.
Histoire sans parole by Harmonium ,the long mellotron solo...this is the most beautiful sound i ever heard in my life!Here the mellotron is used at its best!
Capitaine coeur de miel in Guet-Apens by Ange,the guitar solo at the end of the song,this is the most emotive guitar play i ever heard and my favorite guitar solo so far.
Mysterious semblance at the strand of nightmare by Tangerine Dream,the whole mellotron used here by Edgar Froese(the entire song is composed with mellotron with synth effects) gives me goose bumps .
The Web in Script for a Jesters Tear ,the keyboard driven minutes at the midle of the song(if i remember exactly )it makes me cry every time i listen to it.
The second section of Second Life Syndrome by Riverside..the vocals by Mariusz Duda,the guitar by Piotr Grudzinski...you must hear it to feel it.
The flute and guitar in Firth of Fifth.

I know you hate it, but it's "The final cut" for me. The album, not just the song. And specially the part where Roger SCREAMS "....and hold on to the dreeeeeeam!" and the last syllable of the phrase merges with the sax solo in such a way that you really think that it's still the voice what you are hearing, as if Roger's breath was endless, but it's the sax, and when you realize it for the first time....Bam! It's so amazing!. I was there eyes and mouth wide open muttering. "what was....how...how...did they...do..that..?

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

Interesting that Hammill has that effect on you, as I feel that Fish's vocal style is more closely matched to him rather than the usual claim that he rips off Gabriel.
I guess it is the drama in the delivery.
