anthony Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Wilco: The sublime (but spartan guitar solo) on "Hell Is Chrome" gives me chills. Non-Wilco: The first first 5 notes of Zep's "Since I've Been Lovin' You". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The first first 5 notes of Zep's "Since I've Been Lovin' You". Agreed. That one kicks me in the ass every time. The first few measures of the solo in "Ten Years Gone" kill me as well. The "ooohs" in "Goodbye blue sky". "friends in the trees, friends in the swamp" from "angels and fuselage". "Speed up slow down go all around in the end" from tractor rape chain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The end of handshake drugs And if I ever was myselfI wasn't that night every time, especially the morning after doing just about anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The little melody Trey plays to begin the final section of "Lizards" - one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies he ever composed, and it always sends the chills up the spine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
howdjadoo Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 One thing that always gives me chills is the way Merry Clayton's voice cracks on the "Rape, Murder" in Gimme Shelter. hell yeah,another personal fav. chill :George Harrison's solo in The Cream's "Badge"and would't forget the intro to "Riders On The Storm" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanner Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 "It's a town for losers and I'm pulling out of here to win" "How does it feel?" Classic musical moments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroCharlie Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have a few: The intro riff to "Impossible Germany" kills me The simple piano notes at the end of Chinese apple The Piano intro to "Scythian Empires" just gets to me, the notes seem so depressing then the songs shifts into a brighter offering. The bended note on MMJ's "Run thru" the sax riff right after the spanish style solo on Morphine's "Bo's Veranda" (at :47) The intro to "Idiot Kings" by Soul Coughing and the blaring sample during the first few lines (WAHHHHH WAAAAAHHHH) The solo Jeff has on the Sunken Treasure version of "In a future Age" (at 2:00) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 hell yeah,another personal fav. chill :George Harrison's solo in The Cream's "Badge" That's a good one. It's interesting in that you could easily tell it's a Harrison riff even if you did not know he did it. Something about it just sounds so much like him. I think it was credited to "Harry's son" on the album or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Wilco: "One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry/One by one to one by one forever be." Non-Wilco: "Up there in heaven, with a bottle of wine..." - Ryan Adams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JessieOK Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 "by the bed, by the light..."- Far Far AwayDon't know why but I spend the entire song waiting for that line. Sunken Treasure- every single lick of the song "our love...our love...is all we have"- Jesus, etc "he took down all the mirrors in the hallwayand thought only of his younger face"- Black Eye (on sunken treasure) hmm. thats all I got for now. I know there are many more. There's obviously a reason Wilco is playing 98% of the time in my car or on my iphone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nodep5 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 non wilco: The Avett Brothers "If It Is The Beaches" 3/4 through the song when the piano enters when they sing "if it is the beaches" all acoustic until that moment, amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 when that dude from BOC hit's the cowbell in Don't Fear the Reaper, it sends chills down my spine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cracked & hooked Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 the opening piano tinkling on a shot in the arm makes me feel like everything is gonna be ok. when they ease into that live, i'm done. the buildup to the headbanging part of spiders the um in i'm a wheel "...AND I SHOULD TAKE CARE" in hate it here the little halfbeat pause at 3:16 in via chicago the first 10 seconds of 90-mile waterwall by the national "please don't rain on my people!" from slow down by wyclef jean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pmancini100 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 There's a little piano fill on "Muzzle of Bees" that rocks my world every time. thats my favorite part of any wilco song. that and the ending part. lately, i like it when katy perry says "clothes." im serious. listen to it.

agonistes Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nels's guitar work in 'What Light' -- especially the riffs after the lines "don't let anyone change your bag" and "just remember what was yours is everyone's from now on". On the other end of the spectrum, there's "I'd like to thank you all for nothing at all" in 'Misunderstood'. I can't listen to that one too often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
random painted highway Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 "Impossible Germany" Thin Lizzy Guitargasm! Especially the second phrase. The piano accompaniment in "Pink Moon". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winter party person Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 When Jeff sings "But I feel like this scribbling might stay" in Another Man's Done Gone The last moments of Reservations with the almost inaudible creaks and buzzes and hums The big blues riff at the end of Kingpin "We can't deny even the gentlest tide" from On and On and On "I'm so, I'm so, unsatisfied" in Unsatisfied by The Replacements. Paul Westerberg's voice is so fucking great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Heard Lisa Hannigan on NPR today. Reminded me that her bridge of " always crushes me. Also, her verse on "Volcano" is just devastating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cooperissup3r Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 it doesn't kill me, but when jeff does the "ummmm" part on i'm a wheel...i find that very endearing for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fif1435 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The Kicking Television version of Poor Places when Jeff's sings "sailors sailing off in the morning". His voice kind of wavers at "morning".
