What songs give you goosebumps?

[Bucky]

I know they're hacks, but Disturbed's cover of the Sounds of Silence just grabs me by the spinal column and shivvers me timbers right across the shoulders. What does that for you?

[Trajan]

1. Peter Gabriel's San Jacinto is breathtaking

I would also add not only Arcade Fire's My Body us a Cage, but Peter's cover of that Arcade Fire song is superb ...

To wit:

[Trailrider1951]

2. This one:

it creeps me out like no other!

[MowCowWhoHow III]

3. Marilyn Manson - Resident Evil Theme

[Bryan]

4. Mogwai, "Drunk and Crazy"

I listen to it when I need to feel mighty.

5. Veracruz - Warren Zevon

[B Calm]

6. Harry Nilsson" Fuck You"

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. Imagine - A Perfect Circle

Certainly not an improvement on the original, but quite different. I like it a lot.

[3catwoman3]

8. Amazing Grace...

...on bagpipes. Instant tears, too.

[lastlib]

19. That would bring me to tears, because....

I not only loathe that song, I also DESPISE bagpipes! They GRATE on my nerves no end!

Sorry if I offend anyone with this, but that song on bagpipes seriously irritates me.

[3catwoman3]

23. I suppose the topic of this thread...

...could be open to interpretation. I took it to mean music that an individual enjoys, for whatever reason.

It would never have occurred to me to come on here and diss someone else's choice, even if I felt as you do.

[progressoid]

9. 2nd movement of Henryk Gorecki's Symphony 3

[malthaussen]

10. Caledonia

And a version with pipes and drums:

-- Mal

[3catwoman3]

24. I remember how shocked I was...

...when I learned about George's death. Such a loss.

[Va Lefty]

11. Concrete Blonde "God is a Bullet"

"Have mercy on us everyone"

[ArnoldLayne]

12. Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days of Our Lives, When the

Tigers Broke Free, Peter Gabriel- Family Snapshot and REM-The Wrong Child.

[Fix The Stupid]

13. "Tried so Hard"...doesn't matter who sings it.

Although, Gene Clarks version ( he wrote it) here is amazing.

Honourable mention to the Flying Burrito Brothers...
PS - that is not Gram Parsons singing on this version...

[My Good Babushka]

14. Bright Eyes- Easy, Lucky, Free

[Callmecrazy]

15. Halleluah

[GentryDixon]

16. Wake Me Up - Aloe Blacc

[KT2000]

25. love his voice

and this song. On the radio they say this song is by Avicii who churns out the most irritating, repetitive garbage. Don't get that.

[MowCowWhoHow III]

17. Another one

[lastlib]

18. Can not find it online, but Melanie (Safka)'s cover

of "All Along The Watchtower" just FLOORS me! I have rarely been knocked off my f*cking feet the way I was when I first heard that on satellite radio. WOWZ!

If you find it, you gotta give it a listen! (And let me know where you found it!)

[MH1]

20. I much prefer S&G's original.

Also by S&G, Bridge over Troubled Water, and The Boxer.

Oh, and get off my lawn!

[Joey Liberal]

21. The SpongeBob theme song!

[Ahpook]

22. Just special :)

It has always been one of my favorites! But I visited a store that a dear friend owns and she was playing this song. I don't think I've seen anyone or anything so beautiful in my life

It was... perfect

[onethatcares]

26. "A change is gonna come"

Sam Cooke.


We're still waiting.
