Blue Light Alarm by Cerys Matthews: The bit just after she sings "hits me like a hurricane" There's a pause and then bang: a big choir sound going "Oh oh oh oh oh". Doesn't sound great but trust me it's magic.

Killing of a flash boy by Suede: The very start of it. Love those drums!


On a day like this by Elbow: The end of it when he's singing "So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right! over each other.

Let Down by Radiohead: The last minute of the song from
"You know, you know where you are with,
you know where you are with," on.

Young American by David Bowie: The verse near the end that starts
"You aint a pimp and you aint a hustler
A pimps got a caddie and a lady got a chrysler
Blacks got respect, and whites got his soul train
Mamas got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy

davylee

good thread
there's a brilliant little drum roll at the near the end boston's more than a feeling
the quiet bit in the middle of lizzy's cowboy song live and dangerous
the way the 2nd last chorus goes into the last chorus in highway to hell
a million more that i can't think of

Speaking of Janes Addiction, the dogs barking in being caught stealing.

I like that part in Radiohead's Karam Police where he starts singing "...for a minute there, I lost my head, I lost m head. Phew!, for a minute there, I lost my head".

The acoustic solo at the end of High Hopes on Dave Gilmour's Live in Gdansk. Gives me goosebumps.

Bit of an obscure one, but Pete Murray's Happy Ground (when the kids start singing at the end).

Intro to rat trap by Boomtown Rats. needs no introduction!

barleybooley

4.06 onwards in H. by Tool, savage.

R.Shackleford

Sax solo in bruce springsteens "jungleland" amazing stuff!

PrivateEye

The Pogues- Sickbed Of Cuchullan, the 'Frank Ryan line' does it for me everytime. Brilliance.

Rilo Kiley- A Better Son/Daughter "sometimes when you're on, you're reaaaaaaaaly fu<king on" and the rest of the instruments kick in, brilliant.

The Jam-In The City Second verse makes this song for me.

Planxty- Only Our Rivers Run Free Beautiful moment in this song, from 3:30 on.

Public Enemy- Public Enemy Number 1 the layered chorus, first time I heard it I went wow. Public Enemy Number OneONEoneONEone.

The Velvet underground - Heroin (Several parts throughout the song, the way the tempo keeps switching to correspond with the lyrics, but particuarly from 5 mins on where the heartbeat drums speed up and the screaching guitars kick in.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xcwt9mSbYE


The Velvet Underground - Oh! Sweet Nuthin' (When that guitar solo kicks in, so simple but so creative,no **** or showing off going "bet you can't play this" just for the sake of it. Any aspiring lead guitarist would do themselves a huge favour to listen to it if they want to know how to right proper emotional solos that fit perfectly in a song. Starts at 5:07.){If anyone could tab it out for me I will be indebted to you forever, seriously, anything you ever need just ask}

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BitnKWJftXw


Guns n Roses - Knockin On Heavens Door (Axls "hey hey hey yeahs" throughout the song, turns Dylans brilliant although unbelievably depressing original into a high energy sing along rock anthem, again very simple, not that original but it works perfectly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKF43tneaIE


Muse - Plug In Baby (That intro, perfect, nuff said. Then when the chorus kicks in, "My plug in baaaaaby!!!" I dare anyone that seen them live to say that every fibre of thier being wasn't screaming at them to sing along. 0:01 and 1:01 of the song)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65Gh0U0wkBs

Nina Simone - Sinnerman (When all the instruments kick in towards the end of the song, and every single musician there just lets loose, completely kills it and goes mental. Class stuff 9:17)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6_BWNzThJY


Sublime - 26th April 1992 (When Bradley goes into the "Let it burn, wanna let it burn. 3:02 onwards)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAs-i32t5c


I could go on all day here but I won't.

Beginning of Mr Tambourine man by the Byrds. Particularly like the bass line there.

Bubs101

The baseline in the Chain by Fleetwood Mac

The bit in Wilco's Poor Places where the distortion cleans up and it goes "It makes no difference to me" etc

the opening of Gimme Shelter

The bit in Don't look back in Anger where it goes "please don't put your life in the hands of a rock'n'roll band"

The Harmonica solo in Ryan Adams' Call me on your way back home

Finally, the banjo solo in Wilco's Why Would you wanna live

Evo

The end of Walk On Hot Coals (Irish 74' Version), what a guitar piece..

Deep purple highway star - absolutely love blackmore's solo's on this track

The outro in "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsJsjaYm03E (At about 3:55)

The first time I realised how orchestral rock music really could be, the man's a frickin legend!

Also from The Boss, in Radio Nowhere after the line "Million different voices speaking in tongues" the dirty distorted guitar riff kicks in again for the chorus and I dunno why but through headphones it just does the trick nicely!

Hunchback

the guitar solo in "hey" by the pixies
