Songs that make you hairs stand on end...

[CharlesAL]

First Steps, by Elbow. The song they made for the BBCs London 2012 coverage.

Apologies, I don't know how to do the you tube links.

I Need Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac

Knoxville Girl - The Louvin Brothers

In The Pines - Leadbelly

Stubborn Kind of Fella - Marvin Gaye

I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Acapella version - Marvin Gaye

There are many acapella and instrumental Motown backing tracks on you tube, nearly every one will produce goose pimples, the backing track for Dancing In The Street is amazing, more so when you think it was recorded on a four track machine.

Same goes for the Beach Boys, their backing tracks are amazing but the isolated vocal tracks are sublime, God Only Knows is a fine example.

David Gilmour Live In Gdansk

Best Surround Sound / Headphones on please

Not just one song, the whole concert is a masterpiece

[conkerman]

Genesis = Chamber of 32 doors, nobody does plaintive like Peter Gabriel.

Living Colour - This is the life, Nothingness and Flying.

Marillion - Warm wet circles.

Ahh, the music of my Youth.

If we're on The Lamb Lies Down album - absolute classic all round but for me - Fly on a Windshield running into Broadway Melody of 1974.

....."The Klu Klux Clan sell hot soul food and the band plays In the Mood"

Make sure you're on your own - turn up loud and wait for the guitar / drums break at 1:19

[Funk]

The new Two Steps From Hell album is stunning.

Lauren Hill - Ex Factor

[benjj]

Counting Crows - Round Here. Possibly one of the most hauntingly beautiful rock songs I've ever heard. Resonates massively with someone who doesn't really feel like they fit in.

Foo Fighters - Home. I never normally get homesick but this can hit my like a brick in the teeth when I'm off away from my wife & daughters.

ETA

RHCP - Don't Forget Me. Builds to something incredible. Just listened on headphones for the first time in a while. Sensational.

Radiohead - Nude.

" you'll go to Hell for what your dirty mind is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinking"

[option click]

'Shame' by Eat.
That song is the soundtrack to my memories of going to all manner of indie gigs and clubs in the early '90s, especially Loony Tunes at The Dome, Tufnell Park

[slybynight]

OK - heres mine - its actually about 0.5 seconds of sound, but it does help that its in the middle of a pretty good song.

Muse: Microcuts

The bit that does it for me EVERY time is the scream at 2:08 - It's clipping - and he's screaming - so god alone knows how many harmonics/notes are in it.

Its just the best scream ever. - apart from the one that that Petrucci of dream theater makes his guitar do, just before he shreds it - it sounds like his guitar was being belligerent up until that point and hes just pursuaded it, at the 11th hour, to sing very aggressively by crushing its balls between two heavy dumbells.

its at 3:36 on this - to be fair, the noise itself is nowhere near as good as the scream, but bothe have a really long build up so the sudden release of energy is almost orgasmic.

Dream Theater, Misunderstood

[slybynight]

bah - links eh?

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Here's an interesting one; bit odd, bit folksy, but quite moving.

Antje Duvekot, Tribute to Fred Noonan

Very good suggestion!

Thought this was way underrated from their last album

How about a near-10th anniversary thread resurrection?

Wuthering Heights and not just for the inimitable voice but for the outro. Heard it again on Saturday's Pick of the Pops and it really got to me. You just can't beat radio

[jbailey114]

Haven't read the whole thread so not sure if someone has mentioned it already but definitely:

Solar stone - Seven Cities - https://youtu.be/rB9SaTnh41M?si=mJlehZyJgMFa_LWR

Nothing else reminds me of the golden age of euphoric trance than that. Amazing stuff.

[Magnum 475]

Nothing like a good thread resurrection!

Here's one from me, "Ghost Love Score", live at Wacken:

[king arthur]

Well I don't know about Ghost Love Score so much, but one performance by Floor Jansen that should make your hairs stand on end is this



From about 3.25 in. Especially if you read what the song is about, and the quote from Romeo and Juliet being narrated. I watched her sing this at Wembley and was mesmerized.
