Here's one for Vance...
Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise
1:45 - 2:10 - Steve Howe gradually bringing back the main riff over top of Chris Squire's bass breakdown

Oh yes, absolutely great. I would argue for all of the intro to Close to the Edge prior to the lyric vocals, as well. Nothing like it before or since.

towards the end of Aladin Sane, I love the way the piano just starts to get ridiculous.  Then there's on that same album, towards the end of what might be called "let's spend the night together" (?) there is some sound effect that is really awesome.  Something caused by the guitar I think.

That moment everyone gets once, where you put on Sloan's Twice Removed, listen to Penpals for the first time, and around the time of the Norwegian boy, there's that lyrical reveal of "oh, that's what this is about!"

Brilliant.

From its first second, the buzzing drone of Robert Fripp's guitar on Bowie's Heroes.

DMZ - DON'T JUMP ME MOTHER

At the 0:15 mark, Monoman's scream, then the riff that follows. I know Tom's not taking any more theme song suggestions, but I still believe this one would have been a great choice. God knows it makes ME want to punch people in the face whenever *I* hear it.

When Robyn Hitchcock starts talking at around the 3 min. mark and then builds up for 45 seconds like the Velvets

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight

Neil Young's performance of "Rockin' in the Free World" on SNL in 1989.

Red - Mission Of Burma

The "Ohhhhhhhhh hooooo ohhhhh hooooooo". It just sounds perfect.

Not great sound quality, and he's not singing, but this cover of "Gypsy Woman" contains some of Jimi Hendrix's finest guitar playing:
