The chorus of "feed me with your kiss" by mbv. That main riff riff in the excellent song zeropumpkins alerted me to: flaming lips' "magician vs headache" (or is it headache vs magician? Anyway, great riff!)... xiu xiu's "hives hives" the only song to give me chills no matter how many times I listen to it...

nice!!

avantgarde1 04.18.2008 08:24 PM

the opening noise and electronics stuff SY would play before doing hoarfrost during their live sets.

Death & the Maiden 04.18.2008 09:43 PM

Laughing Clowns - Winter's Way
Specifically the haunting saxophone (?) melody used throughout the song. And then the instrumental ending.
Einstuerzende Neubauten - Yu-Gung (Futter Mein Ego)
The bit about 4: 20 in, where the music stops, and Blixa Bargeld yells "Zieh!"

pbradley 04.18.2008 10:34 PM

Unwound's Scarlette pounding away and then changes chord. Sure it is way simple but intense nevertheless.

Death & the Maiden 04.19.2008 01:24 AM

The Saints - Know Your Product
After a couple of verses and choruses, the brass section riff comes back in again, and Chris Bailey says things like "Yeah!" "Come on!".

"Hoist That Rag" by Tom Waits

Greatness begins at when the guitar properly kicks in with a lengthy solo. Excellent guitar work from Marc Ribot as usual, who seems to be able to make anything he plays sound horribly atonal and distantly foreign-sounding even though he's hitting perfectly good notes. Live, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0kacLLT248 I urge you to listen.


"All You Can Do" by Willy Mason

Great beginning. Acoustic plays the riff a couple times, then the drums and electric guitar kick in with it. Powerful blues.

"Dang" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

The "DANG! Shine on.." that leads into the raucous and distorted harmonica solo and then the equally horrendous chorus. This is on youtube, you won't regret it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgkEw4GjtdU

Raccoo-oo-oon - Call Out Your Friends

When the song explodes into that massive riff, and the voice drowns into the sound, and then everything gets distorded and it's terrific

PAULYBEE2656 04.19.2008 08:43 AM

jeez.. many of em... one that still gets me is when steve shelley kicks into overdrive on the instumental riffage in the middle of chapel hill..........

LittlePuppetBoy 04.19.2008 09:29 AM

The all out noise jams in Silver Rocket and Total Trash.

king_buzzo 04.19.2008 10:04 AM

No Bones is one of those songs that when it finishes you go like 'aaahhhhhhhh' and youre stunned with how fucking brilliant and how loud a song can get. That moment in the song, btw, is one of my favourite moments in a song ever, it sounds like breaking glass and all this other shit. brilliant stuff.

gmku 04.19.2008 10:22 AM

Rocks Off, opening cut on Exile on Main St, the first 20 seconds or so--Keith's little riff, then I think there's a drum crack, and Jagger slurs out a long "Yeahhhh..." Absolutely rock and roll to the bone.

PAULYBEE2656 04.19.2008 10:26 AM

when the richard d james monster screams in that old womans face in the come to daddy video...

Spiritualized - Let It Flow 2:51

it makes my eyes roll back into my head.

LittlePuppetBoy 04.19.2008 12:51 PM

The solos in New Gods and Split Myself In Two by the Meat Puppets.

atsonicpark 04.19.2008 12:59 PM

the entire fistful of dollars theme.

Everyneurotic 04.19.2008 02:16 PM

the opening of "revolution" by spacemen 3 withing the playing with fire album.

because all the previous songs are very chill and have like synths and softer drones, the fuzzed out opening chord is like plugging into a wall socket.

---

converge's "the saddest day", the whole fucking song. the opening high pitched dissonant riff only prepares you for the brutality that follows, the band then follows typical suit until the first break comes and the slow riffs starts building and building until the guitar is left playing a tremolo picked riff and the band plays fast again. then the second break comes and everything is slow but heavier than it was and jake just drips blood from his throat. and the lyrics are fantastic.

SonicBebs 04.19.2008 03:12 PM

Bug's a fucking immense album!
The begining of Fear Of Drowning by British Sea Power "Jesus Fucking Christ oh God, No..."
