Greatest moments in rock

[puffskull]

I think my Stones vote goes to Ventilator Blues or Jumpin Jack Flash... All Down the Line is still pretty fantastic though

Vote 1?
I think I might be the first to post an Aussie band in this topic, though I hope a lot of you are already familiar with these guys (no idea how popular they are in the northern hemisphere...). This song completely blew me away when I first heard it ten years ago and it still blows me away every time. If I had to pick a moment it would be when the second guitar, then drums, then bass and vocals (0:17 to 0:24)
Also, pretty much every movement Brendan Suppression makes... love him so much (he's the one with the gloves and the voice)

oh, and then at 2:25 when it comes back in double-time. perfect!

also, can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong here trying to embed that video? i followed the embedding instructions from this very board 

[Carver]

Yeah, it's weird with the youtube on here.  Here's what works for me: don't use the youtube embed code, but just copy the full address of the video from your browser bar.  Paste that into the body of your post.  Then, remove the https:// part so the address starts with the www.  Video should embed (can check preview to be sure).

Eddy Current Suppression Ring is the best. I'm so glad I drove to the bad part of town to see them once, awkwardly playing in a decaying warehouse. I don't know why they aren't huge by now, they should be at least as big as Pavement was.

The best Rolling Stones song is "Can't you hear me knocking", it's been proven by science!

Thanks Carver... it works! That was driving me nuts...

And mostlymeat, goddamn they were good live, hey? They haven't played together for about five years now though... i'd kill to see them again.
You probably already know, but Eddy Current (Mikey Young - the guitarist) is responsible for producing almost every good album to come out of Oz for the last ten years as well... his fingerprints are all over the place... kind of like a more laid back, antediluvian Steve Albini (or something)
And his current (ha!) band is killer too: Total Control. you should check em out if you haven't

i also forgot another reason in my last post: the bass player is called Rob Solid. that's hot

i also forgot Can't You Hear Me Knockin'... too good! R.I.P. Bobby Keys

saw Eddy Current Suppression Ring twice out here in CA. got a 7" and 2 records...but I haven't really kept up with them. funny, I just came across one of the LPs the other day looking for something else and was going to play it soon. "Which Way to Go" was/is on a couple bar jukeboxes here in S.F. too

edited to say: Torn And Frayed, Rocks Off, Happy, All Down the Line, and their cover of She Said Yeah are my favorite stones songs. I know that's a lot off Exile, but...

Eddy Current was one of the greatest bands I've ever seen. I hope they're not done for good.

I just listened to the episode the Ziggy fade out was mentioned and figured I'd add two (which I'm surprised haven't been mentioned yet):

Feedback intro to Misfits - Where Eagles Dare, and all of the instruments coming in together with the bells on Minor Threat - Salad Days.

I think I might have to revise my pick... just heard about Gene Ween Does Billy Joel.

Then I found this:

Ween does Allentown

greatest moment in rock? probably...

probably not - Ed
