I've really been digging the intro this Ozma song. Just a well arranged, gradually tempo increasing piece. The whole album is just over the top catchy. Nothing overly heavy lyric-wise and certainly doesn't take multiple listens to get into, I guess that's how good power-pop should be.

Not super epic, but cool.

This song is ****ing awesome. I need to get A LOT more recommendations from you...

That WAS a good song and I'm checking out the band (from Pasadena, CA... cool), but I don't think it really belongs in this thread. I was thinking more along the lines of (to be specific, but not limiting) cool solos and good lines.

Yes!

Mine:

Talk about intense haha. Makes me feel like I've been transported back in time and I am experiencing some tiny sliver of that movement.

Another Sonic Youth song--and the much more cliche choice--but damn it has to be on this list. 1:22 when it switches gear from Gordon's phrasing to Moore's vocals.

The first 30 seconds are some of the most intense guitar sounds I've heard to this point. Absolutely classic way to start an album. Oh yeah, and a really underrated video too. It perfectly compliments the music.

The sheer heaviness that kicks in around 3:43 is kinda the classic Primus breakdown that paved the way for KoRn and gang a few years later.

And pretty much all of 'Killing in the Name' haha...

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

I don't know if you should necessarily limit it to that though. I think there are certain classic songs that have this point in the song when you get this feeling like there's more than just the music going on here...

I just find this song amazing. Right after the whistle blows and the amsong kicks in full gear, I just want to get up on a ****ing table and dance.

You really need to listen to the entire song to really experience the 2:25 minutes. But I think that is really an epic moment, about one minute of suspension building up to that gorgeous ending.

At 2:41, the first 'I love you', is ****ing amazing. Feels as though he said it just before making love to you.

Around 0:13 I always get goose bumps when that amazing combination of bass and guitar comes in.

AHHH MUSE!

<3

Can't find a vid of it on Youtube, but Porcupine Tree's "Sleep Together" has some pretty intense moments right when Wilson says "Let's sleep together" before each chorus and then the entire band kicks in. ****ing epic. There are probably better ones out there this is just one that popped to my head.

Good to find another The Clean fan around here.

The synth bit that pops up at 1:10, for example.

The chorus and from 3:00 to 4:19.

"And you never have to face up to the night on your own" and chorus.

3:30 - 4:47

The chorus.

6:00 - 7:20

Most of the song feels bloody epic to me, but those little guitar bits in the background are amazing. So are the piano ones.

"Let us go and rob the bli-i-i-i-i-iiiiind" and the "oooh ha ha ha ha ha ha" (great explanation, eh?)

I suppose I should stop for now, but there are many more.
