Quite a few from Genesis's "The Musical Box" alone (The Greatest song of all-time, IMO):
-The part which reeks of beauty right before Gabriel repeats the "Play me My Song" bit for the second time
-When the drums kick in during the first hard rock section
- When the first hard rock section ends and the awesome brass instrument kicks in (I think its brass)
-When the keyboards kick in during the second hard rock section
- During the second hard rock section exactly at 7:00
Others:
-Also from Genesis, the flute intro to "Apocolypse in 9/8" from "Supper's Ready"
-The part right after Anderson says "Long ago, set into rhyme" in Yes's "Soon"
- The part during "Last Skirmish" from "The Battle of Glass Tears" from "Lizard" on the "Lizard album (DAMN THESE QUOTATIONS!!!) from King Crimson when the second set of saxophones come in (If anybody knows what I'm talking about, let me know)
- The second chorus of the first part of "Moonchild" from King Crimson, thanks to Michael Giles's drumming
-In "Peace- An End" from King Crimson, when he says "Searching for you, you look everywhere except inside you"
There's more but I really don't feel like typing anymore

PoS: on 12:5 a 50 second or so track around 4-6 (can't remember the title). It sounds so heavy for an acoustic song!

oh! and another one while im listening to it is the intro of 'The Revealing Science of God'
i just find it cool how it slowly builds up with the slide(?) guitar,
drums, bass and keyboards and chris' and steves backing vocals
are just tops in it!

Hehe, can't help but mention the Imperial March reference in one of the tunes @ 12:5.
About 2:30 into Reconciliation, I think it was a cool move of them to include that one :)

Good that you mentioned Tales, jman89. I always love the section in part 4, where the band keeps singing "and more" over and over again, and then the fast jam that follows, and afterwards you hear some kind of musical ritual of some ancient tribe that doesn't even exist, : verry innovative stuff and pure magic!

Great thread! Here's my pick:
1 .- "Red" (King Crimson): That opening riff that grabs
all previously recorded riffs in the world and tells them Robert Fripp
is making history with his Gibson and a stool. Seventeen, young and
stupid, in a small province town: louder, louder, louder...
2 .- "Halleluhwah" (Can): Last minutes of rythm blast
after the long keyboards section. Holger and Jaki propel the
groove and Damo Suzuki takes it higher and higher in a paroxsysm of
pidgin English.
3 .- "Marquee Moon" (Television): The whole second solo.
If I should take a single bit of it, it would be the first minute, with
Tom Verlaine's guitar soaring over the drummer's backbeat. "The
darkness doubled.."
4 .- "The Lie (Bernini's St. Theresa)" (Peter Hammill):
Second chorus. After a second of silence, the VOICE screams... A
thousand multi - layered screams ascending like cathedral towers.

There are so many Genesis moments on Looking For Someone, The Musical Box, Firth Of Fifth and even Aisle Of Plenty
the sound of two keyboards together often gets me going in ... so Procol Harum (keyboard solo on As Strong As Samson and guitar solo on Crucifiction Lane as well as almost the whole of Whiter Shade Of Pale, to name a few) also figures quite a lot for me
but my current chilling moment of brilliance is in PFM's Impressioni Di Settembre off the Storia di un Minuto album ... right after the second chorus, when one keyboard starts soloing while another plays the main theme again ... heavenly

one fantastic moment that comes to mind is the closing part of Starless by King Crimson. Just when the sound of the mellotronmelody from the beginning is returning at the end of the song. kinda symbolic this is the end of the first chapter of the band, you can even hear it. great moment !!!!

These popped in my head immediately:
Giant Giant (Three Friends) - the beautiful choir/Mellotron on the last song, "Three Friends". Heaven on earth!!!
And, Yes (Close To The Edge) - Steve Howe's slide guitar on "And You and I" Brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it.

That's one of mine too. I consider side 2 (sorry, the LP-age) of Three Friends the best side they ever did.

The last couple of minutes of Remember Us by Pineapple Thief just blows me away. I've never heard anything like it.

Peter Gabriel-Lead a normal life and the intro to Wallflower.
Ayreon-2084:The sound of the air raid sirens and machine gun fire.
Alice Cooper-Nobody likes me:The instrumental bit in the middle and Alice holding the note when he sings"Never.."
Bloodrock-D.O.A.:This whole song gives me the creeps."I remember..!"
Jon And Vangelis-A play within a play:the last 2:45
Jon And Vangelis-The friends of Mr Cairo:6:54;"One and one to talk to you like film stars they get close to you".
Yes-The revealing science of God:The keyboards right after"..freedom of life everlasting".
Yes-Awaken:"Like the time I ran away...."
Yes-Take the water to the mountain(unreleased version):Steves solo
Marillion-Sugarmice"Daddy took a rain check".
Frank Zappa-nearly all the guitar solos on Joes Garage,especially Packard goose and of course,Watermelon in Easter hay.
I could go on and on about Queen but heres a few:
Bijou-0:59.Brians guitar is crying
The show must go on:second verse and the line about "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies",and at 3:12 when Freddie belts out another "Yeah".
Made in Heaven:Brians intro,2:28"When stormy clouds come around...".I also love Freddies backing vocals during this section.
I was born to love you:With all due respect to Freddie,this version is much better.
A winters tale:Brians guitar solo and at 2:50 when Freddie sings of landscapes and mountains,as though he is telling the listener what he knows he will see once he leaves this world.
Track 13:This is the unlisted very long instrumental at the end of the final Queen album;Made In Heaven.According to Roger and Brian it is supposed to symbolize Freddies spirit entering Heaven.The whole piece is very "magical"and hypnotic but there are a few bits that really do it for me.5:46-6:06 which brings back the Its a beautiful day theme,7:19-9:47,and most of all,16:06-18:00.Theres just something so hauntingly beautiful about that almost 2 minutes of music.I also get a kick out of the sound of rain fall and Freddie laughing.Just a fantastic piece and a great way to end it all.
Queen and David Bowie-Under pressure:"Why can't we give love give love give love...".
Vangelis-Blade Runner soundtrack.
Holst-The Planets:To think that all 7 pieces were composed by just one man blows my mind.I'm convinced Gustav was not of this world.
Ennio Morricone with Edda Del Orso-Once upon a time in the west:The most beautiful piece of music I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Forgot the all time magic moment!!! SUPPER'S READY LIVE FROM SECOND'S OUT!!!! Collins is a GOD, he does SO MUCH better than Gabriel, with his voice he takes the music and moves it where he wants, Gabriel was just another instrument. this 24 minute song makes me cry almost every time, it's the best and most powerfull piece of music EVER!!

Robert Fripp's solo in Larks Tongues in Aspic I, in that little sincopated section. Angular work, very very interesting, goes beyond rock.Fripp did a wonderful solo in "St Elmo's fire" in Another Green World too.From an historical point of view, the solo in Time of Pink Floyd started my willingess to explore muisc. Though now I know more stuff, I still recon it's wonderful.
PS: Please, I don't have enough feedback to do it, but somebody has to put Eno in the site so we can review him and enlarge our minds.

drunken men!
Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog", it is just so beautiful
