Ear-gasms

ctte - the organ interlude and the proceding shredding

the gates of delerium - entire battle section with the drum solo then breaking into a beautiful repetitive melody.

octavarium when petrucci reprises the key solo on acoustic then on electric. i get goosebumps just thinking about it.

There are sooo many for me. But I'll list a couple:

Pink Floyd - Echoes (the climax of the guitar solo)

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (the wonderful chorus)

Genesis - The Cinema Show (when Banks plays that beautiful part almost at the end of the song just before the refrain from "Dancing With...", you know what melody I'm talking about)

Genesis - White Mountain (the whistling at the end)

Yes - Close To The Edge ("on the hill we viewed the silence of the valley...")

Yes - Relayer (when they shift tempos in the middle of the song)

King Crimson - Exiles (the bridge...)

King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (the choir at the end)

And yes a couple more, including every song by Porcupine Tree.

Tiresias wrote: or the act of making your hair stand on end from musical stimuli.  Here's my weaknesses The slide guitar in Layla by Clapton (BTW, thats Duane Allman) "And You and I" opening on yessongs Fly on a windsheild and Chamber of 32 doors. The guitar solo on Firth of Fifth The angry part on the song Script from a Jester's Tear. When the dissonant chords crash on Advent of Panurge during "Take a look around, look around at my friend) I've cried during the end of Supper's Ready and Through Her Eyes "When your flesh has crystalized..." on BSS The Mellotron on Dancing With the Moonlit Knight The heavy riff in back in NYC!! its like a flying elbow to the ovary!!! "60 ton angel/falls to the earth" on Porcupine Trees in Absentia whenever Maynard J. Keenan from Tool screams for 10+ seconds In one live version of LTIA pt. II, Wetton hits the fuzz bass and makes me cry.

Love ALL these parts and I wholeheartedly agree with these!!!!

would add:

The part on Seconds Out Cinema Show where the bass pedals kick in and Bruford goes to town on the traps.

The keyboard line right after all the zaniness in the middle toward the end of Gates of Delirium

The angry part of Pain of salvation's Beyond The Pale which starts in this moment...

...I feel alive during the split second when they smile and meet my eyes
But I could cry 'cause I feel broken inside!
COME and DROWN with me- the UNDERTOW will sweep us away!
And you will see that I'm ADDICTED to my HONESTY
Trust! 'Cause after all my sense of TRUTH once brought me here
But I've LOST control and I don't know if I am true to my soul
I've lost CONTROL and I don't know if I am true to my soul
Losing control and I don't know if I am TRUE AT ALL

(Then, there is a second of silent rest)

After this, the brilliant guitar solos.

I think this is one of the best (or the best) moments in Pain Of Salvation's music. And an incredible Eargasm from the "broken inside" until the end of the solos. Thanks God, I mean, thanks Internet for moments like this.

More ear-gasms:

Renaissance- Ashes are Burning ( Andy Powell's Guitar solo)

Locanda Delle Fate- Forse Le Luccione Non Si Amano Piu (The Piano intro)

Jethro Tull- Heavy Horses (the first flute part)

Porcupine Tree- Sever ("America calls, i must go, Oprah saviour, i feel that low")
