Top 10 music that gives me goose bumps

[pdvm]

Just about any recording of Mahler's 2nd "Resurrection" symphony, esp. the last 5 minutes or so, when the heaven's open up.

 

Mahler has so many magical goosebump moments. But the one that NEVER fails is at the end of the 3rd movement of the 3rd symphony. It's this sudden change of key, lots of harps, followed by a badass horncall. (Around 1:00:30 in this video)

Elgar - Cockaigne In London Town, Overture, Op.40 (1901)

[Moosbrugger]

Second movement of Beehoven's 7th.

The introduction of the main theme in Beehoven's 9th.

Bach's Chaconne

The Mozart part of Mozart' Requiem

Ballade No. 1, Chopin (It builds such pain, and then the second theme comes and you can feel it all wash away and leave a smile.)

"For Crying Out Loud", Meatloaf. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)

"Gloria," Patti Smith (live version)

I appear to be the minority here in this thread in terms of musical genre and I really would like to enjoy classical but no matter how many times I try, I just don't "get it" even though I would love to experience what so many others enjoy when listening to that kind of music.

 

In any case, here's my list of songs that do something to me. Though the goosebumps thing only seems to happen while I'm under some kind of influence

 

Eagles/The Long Run - King of Hollywood

Eagles/Desperado - Outlaw Man

Bad Company/Bad Company - Seagull

The Rolling Stones/LET IT BLEED - Gimme Shelter

Lynyrd Skynyrd/Pronounced leh nerd-skin-nerd - Simple Man

Great White/Greatest Hits - Save Your Love

Foreigner/4 - Waiting for a Girl Like You

Fleetwood Mac/Rumours - Gold Dust Women

Pink Floyd/The Wall - Comfortably Numb

Natalie Merchant/Tigerlily - Carnival

D'Angelo's "Slice of the Devils Pie" from his remarkable "Vodoo" album. A tour de force of intense soul coupled with deep angst and a veiled threat of violence amid a glimpse of how it is for blacks in America in the year 2000. Listen at your own risk.

 

There are tons more......I like this thread.

Guys,

 

Beautiful suggestions, keep them coming!

[Bob Stern]

Verdi, Don Carlo, Ella giammai m'amo'

Musicophile's blog links to a fantastic performance of that scene by Ghiaurov, with Giulini conducting. Thanks to both Guidof and Musicophile!

 

If anyone know more about that performance, please tell us. Both Ghiaurov and Giulini are more moving than Raimondi and Giulini in the EMI recording from Covent Garden, 1970.

Thanks for sharing. That reminds me that I absolutely need to write about Händel's opera.

 

And Genesis. That particular Genesis album features here by the way:
