I just watched the new Camel DVD entitled Moondances: the swirling

Hammond organ solo in the second part of their magnum opus Lady

Fantasy by the late Peter Bardens is one of my ultimate goose bump moments

Camel-La Princesse Perdue

especially the second half of it.

Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Goosebumps??? Try the screaming strings at the end of Talking Drum into the beginning of Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part Two on King Crimson's Larks' Tongues in Aspic- it makes your hair stand up.

Too much to list here, bear with me.

I gotta list multiple parts of Thick as a Brick:

-The melody that starts at 17:20, before "I see you shuffle.." Damn excellent
-The quick buildup at 40:25 to the reprise of "come on ye childhood heroes"
-The last few moments. Ian couldn't let the album go out without a laugh.

Pink Floyd:

-Anytime the chorus picks up in Atom Heart Mother, particularly at 19:12.
-Echoes.. The whole thing.
-The guitar solo of Time
-The four note melody near the beginning of Shine On, as well as the last 2 minutes.
-Every guitar solo in Dogs. Especially when it really picks up (4:33)

KC:
- "KIIIIIIINNNNNG!!"
- All of Schizoid man (drumming, brass, guitar, vocals)
- The climax through the ending of Starless

Others:
- Riverside: The last series of solos in SLS. The last half of Ultimate Trip. The transitions to and from the Shine On cover in Back to the River
- Camel: Moonmadness, the climax of Lady Fantasy
- Genesis: Intro to Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Starless - King Crimson. All of it really, it makes me appreciate how effective minimalistic guitar solos can be.
Closing section of Supper's Ready - one word: emotional. being christian gabriel touches on a very important subject to us.
Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - 10 minutes onwards, the story is so dramatic and touching.
Miranda... - TMV, the final chorus is orgasmic. enough said.

Too many in so many tracks and it depends on my mood, I always get a buzz from most of the tracks on Selling England though - surely the finest prog rock album ever made........................ And we both like the cover of Genesis Live so Snap........

But I got there first............

Excellent avatar Swinton MCR

My first progrock goose bumps ever were ... the Mellotron sound during the intro of Watcher Of The Skies in late 1975

I have yet to see that DVD Erik but it's an essential future purchase for me. It will have to wait until New Year now though.

-I agree with you about La Villa Strangiato guitar solo
-The DT's ending of Learning to live, in the Live scenes from New york, once it made me cry
-Heart of the Sunrise, fom Yessong, when Anderson sings "how can the wind with it's arms all around me, I feel lost in the city, ye-eah", I mean, the way that he sings, the feeling, og God
-Epitaph, by KC, all the song, just amazing

Well... the ultimate ultimate goose bump moment for me would be with Yes right before the end of Close to the Edge at about 17:02 (Now that it's all over and done, Called to the seed, etc.), though really, from I Get Up, I Get Down to the end is just one giant goose bump moment.

Also, again with Yes, in Ritual at about 10:26 when they constantly repeat the phrase "at all".

There's a lot of good music which has probably made me feel this way but I can't remember it cause it hasn't for a while. Now, not much really impresses me anymore music-wise. There was a slight revival in this with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, on their first album mainly. And also with some parts in Magma albums, but now its just a case of analysing the music a bit too much to...enjoy it maybe?

On a nother note, I've been seeing a lot of Genesis getting dropped here but try as hard as I might i can't figure why I liked them so much. Maybe I've grown out of them but I don't see the so-called "majesty" of Selling England. And the rest of their albums are above average at best

John Petrucci's improvised guitar solo at the end of In The Name of God from the Live At Budokan, brings me to tears and sends a chill up my spine everytime.

Marillion - 'The Only Unforgivable Thing' moves me every time.
'Falling From The Moon' - tears to my eyes.
'A Few Words For The Dead' - "..Or You Could Love...." and the drums kick in with those beautiful chord strums.
'Neverland' - The whole echoed - spoken section - lifts me to heaven.

Genesis - Closing section of 'Supper's Ready' on Seconds Out - WOW.
'Blood On The Rooftops'

Pink Floyd - 'The Final Cut'

Oh I could be here all day. I JUST LOVE MARILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY LIFT ME SO HIGH.

Laughs as I clean my teeth, laughs as I rub at my eyes.
