Around 4:40 on Kayo Dot's 'The Manifold Curiosity', when the cascading and mellow acoustic guitar reaches top speed, with a sound of guitars coming in that holds up a framework for the most heart-wrenching piccolo solo possible. I'd liken listening to that part of the song to seeing the person you adore after being parted for a long period. Later on in that song from the eigth minute to the end (starting at the point when the violins slither in with such effeminate charm) there is another extremely powerful feeling that takes hold of me; all pain and worries cease to exist for as long as the song goes on and I feel at one with God. In love at least.
Then there's '___ On Limpid Form', in which Toby stops singing, the band stop, and start again on a very slow doom tempo using clean chords. Eventually you get several minutes and you reflect back to this part of the song and realise how much has been added - the song is now a nightmare - percussion-heavy, screeching feedback, aural black holes.
The final chorus of 'Cemetry Gates' in which Morrissey becomes pretty passionate.
The first minute of Behold... the Arctopus' 'Sensory Amusia' which uses up more ideas than most bands come up with in their entire being.
The final movement of Part 1: The Adoration of the Earth on the Rite of Spring in which the horns scream.
The ever-stoned World Domination Enterprises' vocalist singing, "Stop stealin' and fiiightin'" on their version of Asbestos Lead Asbestos.
The "I think it's so groovy now, people are finally getting together" jingle on Spanky and Our Gang's 'Reach Out in the Darkness' (it also sounds like they're going "Retard in the darkness" on the chorus which is pretty amusing).
Yasuko of Melt-Banana infamy yelling in sing-song something like, "How many chickens do you get?" on 'Chicken Headed Racoon Dog'.
The Ronettes-swiped drum beat on 'Just Like Honey'.
Steve Ignorant ranting, "At school they give you shit! Chuck you in a pit!" on 'Do They Owe Us a Living' (Crass).
The dialogue introduction to 'Pena' by Captain Beefheat and His Magic Band.
The introduction of 'The Anal Staircase' by COIL.
The background song to 'Worker and Parasite' on The Simpsons.
Oh well, I'm getting less and less enthusiasm to list all this stuff down so I'll leave it there.
