dadofsix Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Of all the songs I've listened to over the years, one song stands out -- against the backdrop of the gentle synthesizer part almost droning on . . and numbing the listener's mind, Moon's explosive drumming and Daltry's primal scream near the end of Won't Get Fooled Again came the closest to taking my breath away.

miles'tone Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I was 8 years old and it completely stopped me in my tracks. I drove my mum nuts playing it repeatedly all summer! This track was the start of the big journey for me, when I fell in love with music. http://youtu.be/18OCCAqlx7k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1437056675' post='2823249'] One track leads to another, for a long time I had this one track on permanent play in my car. Certainly held my attention for a very long time, and still does it for me. More rather good bass playing, I reckon: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiIJhzkVwio"]https://www.youtube....h?v=JiIJhzkVwio[/url] [/quote] [quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1437056742' post='2823250'] Totally off my normal radar.

BassTractor Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Too many to mention, but I share Bilbo's reaction to Ravel's Bolero. Among other pieces it was istrumental in me becoming a musician. Others: Focus: "Sylvia" Yes: "Roundabout" Scritti Politti: "The Word Girl" Living Colour: "Type" as well as ... drum roll ... Mantovani: "Charmaine", some kind of 20s ballroom melody in so-called "cascading strings" wrapping. I'd never heard part of the orchestra playing the previous note(s) so as to create an orchestrated echo/reverb effect. Also, the melody itself invoked Beethoven feelings with me, which was a good thing in my young book: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__tm_j8FPl0[/media] Edited July 17, 2015 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard a few people rave about them to the extant I thought it was hype. The whole album is brilliant to this day, with amazing interplay between pipes, guitar and sax. Eoghan O'Neill on bass.. went on to be in Van Morrison's band, also has played with many in the upper echelon of the Irish scene.

planer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I was ten short years old when this was in the charts. That keyboard sound popped into my head as I read through the posts above and I started whistling 'along' to it. It makes me tingle now as it did all those years ago. Then the bass comes in and I'm away in my own little world. [media]http://youtu.be/GIOOxY3ZlGw[/media] And this young lady can do little wrong imo... powerful words and emotive playing.

lowdown Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) When I first heard this piece, it was a hairs standing up on the back of my neck moment.

lowdown Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1437045287' post='2823048'] I can still remember how I felt the first time I heard The Great Society's (later Jefferson Airplane's) White Rabbit. [/quote] I love that tune, although my preferred version is the George Benson/Don Sebesky version.

Oopsdabassist Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 [quote name='ead' timestamp='1437050463' post='2823143'] Not a song, but a moment in a song. And more hair on back of neck than asphyxiation...but in Firth of Fifth by Genesis there is a moment about a third of the way through when Steve Hackett comes in with the main guitar solo...just wonderful (ymmv, imho and other caveats apply). [/quote] Yes and Yes again! In fact thinking about it, the Seconds Out album still gets me with Afterglow, Firth of Fifth AND the Finale of Los Endos. A session listening to the whole album reduces me to a blubbering wreck!! And has done since 1977. And I must say, Wirebirds version of White rabbit tingled my spine also, nice work there Dave!

madshadows Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This song turned me onto music at the age of 14 in 1973, it just blew me away and it's still one of my favourite songs John [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmP8W_G9-5w"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmP8W_G9-5w[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhnMd1Jl7SA[/media] [/quote] Thanks, I was wondering if classical music was allowed ! I love this, have done for years. I listen to classic FM at home, and if this comes on then I have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen to it. It's in my favourite key too Bb minor (bit sad I guess, having a favourite key). Here's a slightly different arrangement of it, but never the less, still absolutely moving.

sykilz Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This video is long, but well worth 7 minutes out of your day, the first time I saw it I had to gasp for air at the end, as I'd been so transfixed. To my very uncultured brain it fused the beauty of classical music with the song craft of a prog-legend, Steven Wilson performing The Raven That Refused To Sing. The visuals are quite beautiful too. http://youtu.be/u4XevlloPY4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
