The song that sends a chill down your spine:

The closing section of "Supper's Ready" by Genesis following the Apocalypse in 9/8.

I have seen three versions live and I think that the post-1975 version with Steve Hackett's soaring guitar was best...with, um Messr. Collins at the microphone.

When Ian Gillan does those primal screams (yowls?) in Child in Time I find it to be affecting. Another good title for Child in Time would be "can YOUR lead singer do this? Yeah didn't think so. Kiss our ass"

There have been a lot of good songs listed here. I love the variance in ages and styles represented here. Rush and Al Stewart get honorable mention in my camp.

Every once and awhile I have renewed faith in the younger generation's taste. X_25, mentioning 'In The Year 2525' (not to mention, 'Fitzgerald'), gave me more chills than the songs themselves. 2525 was a good song but I would have thought it had died after my generation was done with it. X_25, where did you every have a chance to hear 2525? :thmbsp: That doesn't even make it to 'oldies' radio.

Yes, dmusgrave, Gilmour IS the man. What an emotional guitarist- absolutely no wasted notes...

Being a guitarist there are probably at LEAST as many guitar parts that do it for me as there are vocals. Usually it's a mix of the two or the entire group. Words/lyrics by themselves don't seem to phase me. Due to Ronnie Montrose's guitar work and Davey Pattison's emotional vocals there are a few songs on Gamma's first two albums that send the chills. And most of the songs on Queensryche- 'Empire' do it for me also ('Is There Anybody Listening', for one). Some of the newer songs I play on Rockband and Guitar Hero with my kids do it for me. So does new 'alternative rock' radio.

But if a song, or a group, is/was TOO popular (Skynard, Beatles, Zeppelin, etc.) I feel too many OTHER people got all 'the chills' out of them already which leaves me cold. If it's played on classic rock radio anymore it probably won't do it for me.

Thought of some others

Big Love - Fleetwood Mac live performance, Awesome guitar/vocal performance
Anything from The Waltz - The Band, Levon Helms voice is so strong and true it kills me
Running to stand still - U2

'In The Year 2525' is a top class song - and that's why so many covers were made of it. If you ever want to do a bit of research into the various interpretations to that song - two notable once were done by an early 80's English new wave band called "VISAGE" (I could not find it on youtube), and a late 80's heavy metall/goth Polish (I think) band called "Leibach" (hope I am spelling the name correctly) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4D7L-PBmRc.
 
Karrin Allyson, Everything Must Change, from Daydream

Clapton, Tears in Heaven, MTV Unplugged (because of the subject matter)
 
2 come to mind for me, "Angel of the Morning", Merilee Rush (song was written by Jon Voight's brother), and "Guantanamera" by the Sandpipers.
 
Another one-"Piano Exit" from "Layla". Remember the scene that used it in "Goodfellas"? Perfectly horrible, yet perfectly magnificent at the same time.
 
Tiny Tim's "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips"...but not that kind of chills; more the kind that you get when Jason appears behind you in the mirror:D
 
"Moments of Pleasure " from Kate Bush's Red Shoes album- there are other songs of hers that "get " me, too. What a voice!

I really like "Slip Away" by Pat Metheny but I have never heard "Teel It All" what album is that on? I'm wondering if I have it to give a listen.

I love Slip Away from Letter From Home too :yes:

Tell It All is from First Circle. First of the three "Brazilian" sound PMG Albums. First Circle, Still Life (Talking), and Letter From Home. First Circle I beleive was first album with classic rhythm section of Rogby and Wertico.
 
good calls on Nights in White Satin and Wreck of EF. I see someone else has heard 'Everything' by REM (love that song)

speaking of Eva Cassidy, how bout 'Tall Trees in Georgia'? and kd lang's 'Wash me Clean', esp that closing note. awesome

Sunday's cover of 'Wild Horses'.
'The Sacrifice' by Christophe Beck, a short instrumental. beautiful.
 
“Still haven’t found what I’m looking for “ from U-2 rattle and hum / with the gospel singers

Amazing Grace

Not “chills” but an eery feeling from “Run like hell” particularly the beginning.
 
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Three Fates

I lived in a house in the 70's with paranormal experiences. When I played this piece it would make unusual things happen with noise & movement.
