Musical moments that make your hair stand on end...
im getting on now..just turned 50.
Musical monents in my life..those wonderfull spine tingling moments. Led Zeppelin 'Heartbreaker' the opening riff that laid down the foundations for metal, along with the thrash rock middle eight. Deep Purple. 'Higway Star' Richie Blackmores incredible triplets during the guitar solo.. Black Sabbath. 'War pigs' taking a cue from Led zep as above, and turned rock into heavy metal. Status Quo. The guitar solo in 'Backwater junction'..a joyous musical moment. amazing melody. The Beatles 'she loves you' I was 10 when I first heard this, never heard anything like it before and was the first record I every brought. played it to death. Oasis. 'Dont look back in anger'. the sorta song I could imagine John Lennon doing,a wonderfully melodic rock song. The Sex pistols. 'Anarchy in the uk'. powerhouse rythm section, Jonny spitting out the lyrics...great lyrics as well. Pink Floyd 'Echoes'. I still listen to this now, a wonderfully constructed example of music. Jimi Hendrix. 'The star spangled banner..woodstock version'. best guitarist ever, how he controlled that feed back in this solo I dont know...sheer genius. Abba. 'The winner takes it all'. Id always dismiised Abba before this song. I first heard it in 1980 after splitting up with a girl I was very much in love with..this song musicall and lyrically just got that .'my partners left me..boo hoo' type vibe spot on. Maybe its my age, but in the nineties and so far this decade only Oasis have 'done it' for me. |

Off the top of my head:
Led Zeplin - The Rain Song Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (the guitar solo when performed live.. specifically off the PULSE album, but after seeing Roger Waters play live, that as well) Pink Floyd - Shine On Your Crazy Diamond (the entire song is quite moving (mainly due to its topic, Syd Barret) but obviously those 4 famous notes are particulary haunting.) The Doors - The End Pink Floyd - Fat Old Sun (considering Floyd are famous for their epics, this is such a nice short song.) I'm sure there are plenty more but I can't think of them at the moment. * I keep on editing this list and adding to it.. must think of some music other than Floyd though! |

I Couldn't agree more on Floyd's Echoes, Crazy Diamond, Great Gig in The Sky, etc, etc, they are still without doubt the BEST live band I have EVER seen!
I must admit some Classical music has that effect too in particular Elgar and Mozart. |

Listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody off The A Night At The Opera Album on DVD-A. It sounds weird, especially the middle bit. The voices bounce around the speakers a bit, but I've got use to it.

Bob Dylan doing Joey, from the Desire album. Not usually a Dylan fan (bores me silly to be honest), but this is magnificent.

Well the musical moment that made my hair stand on end was Radiohead playing Creep at the southpark gig last year.
