What makes the sun come out? Is it a moment or an aeon?

Me at the moment = that first guitar chime on New Grass.

This thread is going exactly where I feared!

I rephrase; Most beautiful sound in a record...

How about:

David Bowie singing "Why cant we give love, give love, give love ...
one last chance, why cant we..."

The vibraphone always gets me kind of wet.

John Millard & Happy Day, it's a really bizarre record of sort of hillbilly cabaret: banjo, vibes, Andrews Sisters-style back ups. It's so strange and glorious.
Nobody else I know likes it when I put it on.

Oh, need you ask? But if I had to pick one moment in "Soon," that part where, having played the first full melody, the guitar just takes off...

The ocean/sea-gulls/whistling intro to Mr. Bungle's "Sweet Charity". It makes my soul sigh with relief...as though to say "thank god you're playing me this song rather than that ODB insanity again!".

the bells and guitar (?) that begin eno's "here come the warm jets".

or the guitar sound on the flaming lips' "the abandoned hospital ship".

the half-formed, just-out-of-reach strings on bola's whoblo and the black dog's sharp shooting on saturn.

an amen break

the fat synth in eno's "everything merges with the night" (for right now)

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 25 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-three years ago)

The guitar solo at the end of "The Big Country", and the whole of Mouse On Mars "Paradical"

― Adam A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 20:15 (twenty-three years ago)

currently it's the way jerry roslie screams "whoa baby" at the beginning of 'psycho'.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 9 March 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

the reverb-slathered thwacks of the snare drum in the last verse of the shangri-las' "the train from kansas city."

alternatively, just about any use of timpani in pop music.
