I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Man, so many. If I had to post a condensed list:

1. Rothery's solo during the "Fallin' From The Moon" section from "The Great Escape"

2. The final 5 minutes of "The Great Nothing" from Spock's Beard's V

3. Neal Morse and Phil Keaggy's vocals on "The Cradle To The Grave" from One.

4. "12" from Neal Morse's ?

5. LaBrie's vocals on "Surrounded"

6. Marillion's "Fantastic Place" ("Say you understand me, and I will leave myself completely. Forgive me if I stare, but I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes.)

7. Lifeson's solo on "Limelight"

8. Hogarth's vocals on "Afraid Of Sunlight" (Pure magic)

9. The first few lines from Phil Collins on "Behind The Lines" (his drumming on "One For The Vines" could easily be on this list, too)

10. The finale on Marillion's "This Strange Engine"....hell, I could make a list on Marillion alone.

This was the song that started me into Prog

My moment is when Hackett comes in with the screaming guitar - shiver me timbers!

There's a few for me -
the end of "The Remembering"
the Eclipse section of "And you and I"
the end of "Awaken"
the ending of "Musical Box"
and Spock's Beard "Wind at my back" from Snow.

The "I Get Up I Get Down" section from Close To The Edge used to bring tears to my eyes whenever I listened to it. Beautiful!

Right after that, Wakeman's pipe organ, then the whold band coming in. I always thought Alan White spoiled that portion of the song by putting in drum fills.

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Most Genesis songs have such moments for me.

11th Earl of Mar - middle section (Time to go to bed now...). This is pure beauty!

Musical box - the whole song really!

Stagnation - ...and each will find a home...

Just to mention very few.

Music, all I hear is MUSIC

The end of Depuis l'Automne by Harmonium

The spoken words a couple minutes into Packard Goose by Zappa
The Blue Angel part of Bitter Suite by Marillion
In Vital Signs by Rush the first time Geddy says "Everybody got to elevate from the norm"
The Sax solo in Pioneers over C by Van der Graaf Generator

"The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa

Speaking of codas, besides "Starless" (which I absolutely love) I'd also mention "Epitaph" - the way Greg Lake's voice fades into the waves of sound produced by the Mellotron is absolutely heart-wrenching. Another very moving moment is the one which I have chosen as my sig - the ending of Rush's "Witch Hunt", with Geddy Lee's voice emoting over washes of synthetisers.

There are probably other thousands of moments I don't remember now, but I'd like to mention a non-prog one: the start of the third verse of Blue Oyster Cult's mighty "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" on "ET Live", when Buck Dharma's guitar slows gradually down after a searing solo and the drums take up the initial pattern once again. Pure magic!

Firth of Fifth...you guys know which part I speak of.

That part is beautiful Cry

Someone else mentioned the build-up at the end of Echoes. That's amazing.
I also love the end of Gates of Delirium (Soon, oh Soon...)
The end of Take the Veil (Who brought me here?)
Court of the Crimson King -- when the mellotron theme from Epitaph comes in.

The Climax Of "Echoes" makes me feel diffrent from everybody else

The Sax Solo in "Money" makes me feel mighty

The Third or fourth part pf "Close TO The Edge" is just beautiful

The ending of Camel's "Unevensong" makes me reassess my life every time I listen to it. Period. I also get goosebumps when the Sax comes charging in in National Health's "Portrait of a Shrinking Man" and when the final lucid guitar notes sound of doom in Henry Cow's "Ruins". Not to mention the coda to King Crimson's epic "Starless".
