Fragile and Starless by King Crimson do it for me.

Me too. I never disliked Islands, but it wasn't a stand out track for me on the album, but live it really moved me. I've seen them do it twice now, and it's kind of become 'our song' for my girlfriend & I, although it's safe to say I 'feel it' a little more than she does.

Anyways..other goosebump inducing tracks..

Los Endos - Genesis
Awaken - Yes
Man ERG - VDGG
From the beginning - ELP
Xanadu (from ESL) - Rush
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
Sheep (particularly the ending) - Pink Floyd
Rubycon Part 1 - Tangerine Dream

 First one I thought of was the opening up of Cinema Show. By that I mean "chocolate surprise," where it goes from 12-strings to BASS PEDAL, ORGAN, and ELECTRIC GUITAR and the DRUMS kick in awodfihbvifvb. I listened to that part with an old girlfriend on repeat. Keeping on Genesis: The guitar/organ break after Hackett's solo in Supper's Ready during the battle, and the subsequent feel-good part with acoustic guitar and the organ riff in the background; when Peter comes in shrieking in the second verse of Back in N.Y.C.; the major part near the end of the Cinema Show solo, as well as the part earlier with the choir effect and bass pedals; the end of The Raven synth solo; the last verse of In the Rapids; the climax of the middle section of Mad Man Moon and how it rises gently back into the final verse; the piano ending of One For the Vine; when the lyrics come in on Duchess; the organ solo on Can-Utility. This band has the most for sure.

IDK why, but the excerpt in my signature from General in His War Room by VDGG, always does it.

Big Big Train - London Plane, particularly the closing few minutes
