btw I forgot to add that "Dry Your Eyes Mate" started being played on the radio about a week after I got dumped last year and it still brings a tear to the eye!
 
No "Beach Boys" in Shude's list ? Scandalous :eek:

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" - despite hearing it about 3000 times it's still completely staggering. Actually anything off Pet Sounds and practically everything else they've written sends the tingles down the spine...

it's a great album - really different, poetic rambling over a hip hop beat (reminded me in some ways of John Cooper Clarke although he was punk). Well worth a listen or two - but be warned it's definitely not for kids as the language is a bit strong.

Just about anything off The Neville Brothers "Yellow Moon" will do the trick.

But the tracks

Will the Circle be Unbroken and

The Ballard of Hollis Brown (yes, that one)

are special
 
Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' does it for me. I also agree with Culpano about the Beach Boys, but my favourite to play in the car is 'Little Deuce Coupe'.
 
Motorhead - Ace of Spades

...there's always one that spoils it for the rest !
 
Simon & Garrfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water.

I want this played at my funeral, mother of god I'm only 34 and I'm talking about my bleedin funeral, I've enough to go to in the next few weeks:eek: Sorry

Jean-Michel Jarre - Renzevous Part 6 (it had a sax solo that was meant to be played by Ronald McNair on the Space Shuttle Challenger and would have been the first piece of music recorded in space)

Martin Gore - Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth

Sting - Russians
 
Shude mentioned a record bringing tears to his eyes.

;) ;) I defy ANYBODY that has owned a dog to listen to...

Old Shep by Elvis Presley

Do a search for it, listen to it, but be prepared to make a grab for the hankies.

Dogs....pah what a waste of good food.

John The old grump
 
Lou Reed Perfect Day - not the BBC knock of version
Poison - Every rose has its thorn
ACDC - Back in black - great at high speed
FGTH - Power of love
Meatloaf - Bat out of hell
Sting - They dance alone - what a song
Duran Duran - The chauffeur - not a well known track, can't explain it, it just does
REM - all stated before
 
David Sylvian, Nostalgia - beautiful, earthy song
David Sylvian, Laughter & Forgetting - when the flugelhorn comes in, sends shivers up my spine
Marillion, Chelsea Monday - Fish's lyrics are the work of a genius
Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb - live version on Pulse, guitar solo

, not so much shivers, but great tsunamis ...

Also Dave Gilmours version of shine on you crazy diamond at the Royal Albert Hall with Crosby and Nash is really touching

This must be up there with the thread revivals of all time!

Agree with Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings.

I know there are a few others but one that comes to mind now is Queen - Mother Love which has the last vocal Freddie ever did and it's a truly haunting and spine tingling song!
 
Tony Peluso’s guitar solo on the Carpenters’ Goodbye to Love.

And as the thread’s been brought up to date, try a couple of YouTube live performances....

The Petersens’ cover of Patsy Cline’s She’s Got You.

Josh Turner guitar (feat Mary Spender) with Leonard Cohen’s Hey That’s No Way To Say Goodbye
