I love that song and the piano, also when the cymbals pick up at about 2.58, I think.

Also -

Let it load and then listen to the string of vocals sung at 8.27 onwards. Always raises my hair!

This is the first one that came to mind; I always find listening to Lux Aeterna a hair-raising experience. It's all really intense (in a good way), but I guess its peaks are around 2:25, 3:25 and 5 minutes.

And this one's probably a tad cliche, but it gets me every time.

Edit: Just thought of another.

Good idea for a thread, by the way.

The part in Teen Age Riot where the pace changes dramatically and the kick-ass riff starts up. It's just so.... good

This one's great.

Speaking of vocals, this one's from my all time favorite band. Starting at 2:14 it builds up a little, then right after 2:26 where the sax blends into the vocals...I just about melt every time I hear it.

The guitar solo in the last one and a half minutes and the part where he sings " There is no pain, you are receding.'

The way the verses are sung is very diabolical and effective.

These are two key chillers for me, The Rolling Stones - Gimmie Shelter at about 0.30 seconds to when Mick Jagger starts singing.

The next one is Judas Priest - Touch of Evil. Basically the whole song makes me want to orgasm, but at 4.08 - 4.45ish when Rob Halford is singing it is goosebump giving!

When the bowed guitar kicks in the hairs on the back of my neck shoot up, is it wrong to call it a mysterious tune?

I love that bit too... this is actually my favourite Sigur Ros song.
