    Oh man, in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly when they face off in the cemetery and the acoustic guitar builds up and then the trumpets and the choir kick in. Bad ass.

    Fucking yes.

    The score for that movie trascends beyond the level of fuckawesome and reaches a point of awesomeness which mankind can't even begin to grasp.

    If I could find the soundtrack I would buy it in a blistering flash of light.

    Admiral Suzie you should check out Dog Problems-The Format. It is pretty rad.

    Also I'm glad Sam's Town was pretty much all the best stuff from Hot Fuss but for the entire cd
    I'll check 'em out.

    And oh yeah, I can't argue against that album.

    Fuckin' Cash, man.

    uh

    those lyrics aren't

    nevermind

    Yes I know its a cover, but I wanted to make sure nobody thought I was saying that Reznor's version gave me goosebumps. Its a great song but, really, Cash's version is full of emotion.

    ok, yes I agree

    it's just it really bugs me when people think cash wrote it

    I actually had an argument with someone who said Reznor can go fuck himself because he stole from Cash.

    God I fucking hate people sometimes.

    On the Queen Rocks Montreal DVD right at the start of Dragon Attack.

    The drums are just thumping and then the bass-line kicks in and Mercury does this sort of step-glide across the stage.

    It's rad.

    Speaking of Reznor the part in "Right Where it Belongs" where the crowd starts screaming in the song after the intro is just so powerful that its given me goosebumps a couple of times.

    No one should fucking judge Reznor's credibility as an artist until they listen to The Downward Spiral.

    You know, once in awhile I hear people say that when they first hear a really amazing song they have to stop everything they're doing and just listen to it all the way through, or at the end they have to take a breather. I never really understood how people get like that, and I can't see how a song can have that much raw emotional power. Now don't get me wrong, I think some songs are really beautiful and can carry quite a bit of emotional weight, but not enough to make you just stop whatever your doing and stand in one spot in silent awe of the music.

    The bridge to Is This Thing On by Less Than Jake (1:32)
    The rest of the song is ordinary, but the Bridge is amazing.

    The entrance of the Flugelhorn in Tom Waits' version of Somewhere. (2:15
    Major third held in a minor chord, oh man, stunning.

    The Piano opening of Copeland's song Love Affair

    The second verse of It's a Mother Fucker by Eel's (0:37)

    It's a mother fucker
    gettin through a sunday
    talkin to the walls
    "it's just me again"

    The single, held, muted trumpet note after the acoustic guitar solo in No Doubt's Don't Speak (3:05)
    The guitar solo is amazing too, but that single note just kills me.

    I love tiny little moments in music, chord changes or solos or lyrics that give you shivers. I can get behind this thread.

    Except that one time NIN got David Bowie to sing lyrics. That rocked

    Oh man where can I hear this. I would kill a baby to hear this.

    Anyway, in "Heroes", from the third verse all the way to the end. Especially the "We're nothing, and nothing will help us!" part. So excellent.

    Also, Queen's music in general, but especially the bridge into the first verse of Ogre Battle--it has rocked my face clean off on several occasions.

    Dude the first time I heard Tom Wait's Somewhere I was at work and I had to stop and listen and afterwards have a sit down.

    I'm a very musical guy. I find it hard to listen to music passively, I just get lost in it.

    I can kind of see where you're getting at, and once in awhile I'll just pause for a brief moment during a song and think to myself, "Fuck, this is a really great song."

    But what I don't get is when people say that a song had so much emotional energy that it actually made a dramatic impact on their life - and people have said this to me.

    oh man there are a few of these

    the one I can think of offhand is towards the end of Break In by The T4 Project and I can't fucking find a link of it anywhere, but anyways it goes from Jason from Strung Out singing

    "I'm under, forgotten, an apparition lost in time.
    Alone, perpetual decline.
    In the eyes of those unscarred, we teach, we ruin, we all discard away.


    and then it bursts into this chorus group singing along with him with

    In the eyes of those who know no better than we are,
    we lose ourselves in our decline,
    we create a bond with all we leave behind.
    I'm nowhere, I'm no one, I'm under, forgotten.


    and then it ends with this guy with a very strong voice going out
    The anger that we find becomes who we are.

    down to a fucking whisper.
    I wish I could find a link to it

    Yeah, kinda editted my last post. Didn't really like the way my last sentence turned out. I should really make an effort to proofread.

    Anyways, as for crying. Well, I did say this earlier today, but ISIS' Garden of Light actually made me bleary-eyed near the end because it was just such a perfect way to end the album; it was seriously the album ender of all album enders.

    There are others that are on the tip of my tongue, but:

    the vocal hook to Mylo's No More Conversations remix (it's pretty much the best vocal hook ever)

    The National's Racing Like a Pro, when the instrumentation fully kicks in and Matt Berninger's voice sounds so full of desperation

    the climax of The Mariner's Revenge Song

    The end of Aphex Twin's Mt Saint Michael + Saint Michael's Mount -- this one literally stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it

    a whole lot of The Animal Collective's stuff. The final refrain of Fireworks and when the tempo of Bashee Beat picks up at the start are the two that first come to mind.

    Frehley's Comet - It's Over Now, 2:30 - 3:00, probably one of my favourite guitar solos. It really is the highlight of the song for me. It's simple, doesn't really push any boundaries, I know, but the melody really sticks with me.

    Whitesnake - The Deeper the Love, 2:10 - 3:05. Again, absolutely fantastic solo in my opinion. And the build-up to the solo really gets you excited. It just works. I have to rewind a few times, can't get enough of it.

    I really like power ballads. Am I gay? O_o

    Man, when Blue Oyster Cult is all like "don't fear the reaper..." and then they trail off, and then that really mellow guitar part kicks in, really rythmic, and then a little bit of drums, and it's all calm, and then the guitar solo just fucking explodes in there it's awesome.

    The end of Zero-sum was pretty fucking epic. Especially during the last chorus when the choir kicks in along with Reznor, singing:

    Shame on us
    We knew from the start
    May god have mercy
    On our dirty little hearts
    Shame on us
    For all we have done
    And all we ever were
    Just zeros and ones


    Yeah, I was fucking floored.

    There's an album called The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange that the guitarist of The Mars Volta released under his own label (He's done like four or five solo albums this year). The last track, Coma Pony, is really jazzy and its chorus is just full of atmosphere. I don't know if you can really call it a "chorus" since the track is instrumental, but you know what I mean. Saxophones are awesome if you pair them with certain other instruments.
