Greatest moments in rock

[buffcoat]

The moment the synth and the bass join the backward-sounding drums on the Kid A version of "Morning Bell."


9. Morning Bell

From 0:10 to 0:22

YES!

Also, another moment that is slowly creeping up on my personal list is when Coco of the Ettes says the word "backbone" in the song "Excuse."  At the 1:38 mark. She sounds so mad at - and disgusted with - this person's weakness! I have trouble not singing along with that line.

around 2:10-2:30...check out those gloves
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain (Live TOTP 1972)

around the 2:38 mark when Bryan Ferry goes from microphone to the keyboards..and the music that follows
Roxy Music Do the Strand

[Smelodies]

When Clapton's guitar strap snaps off and he and Robertson have an impromptu guitar duel:

Eric Clapton and Robbie Robertson - "Further On Up The Road" - LIVE - '76 - HQ

Well, if you're going to include anything from that movie, you gotta include the cocaine booger.

[Hugman 3.0]

And Van Morrison's moves (no apologies if I misspelled Morisson - after a decade in record retail I still don't know off the top of my head).

Greatest moment of 2011 is easily the transition from "Follow the Leader" to "The Answer Was You" on Sloan's The Double Cross. The transition from the latter track to "Unkind" isn't too shabby either.

Led Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying

5 minutes and 40 seconds on when the drums really come in and it just gets louder.

Guitar playing skills and personal ethics are not mutually exclusive.

Lyrical inspiration for their version appears to come from Blind Willie Johnson's recording. Despite this, however, Led Zeppelin's version of the song is credited to the group's musicians Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham, and is registered with the copyright association ASCAP with the unique title code 390282185.[4]

[Lawrence Orbach]

Jimmy Page did the same thing to Bert Jansch's for 'Blackwater Side'....music by Jimmy Page

Thats what the Dark Arts will do to ya.

[Dan from St Louis]

"Uh, how do you call your lover boy?"
"TRASH."

False stops always get me.

As well as Ty Segall's creepy glottal sound turning into the awesome riff at the start of "Girlfriend"

Worst moment in rock: Patty McAloon's over-pronunciation of "Ibiza" in "Machine Gun Ibiza".  He also lisps some other non-Spanish words, for some reason.

I've enjoyed seeing all the comments and agree with most of them (especially the recent Sloan XX post).

Here are a few more:
At risk of sounding completely uncool, the 1:17 mark of "Fly on the Windshield" by Genesis (from "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway") when band all comes crashing in together

Also, the complete "A Quick One (While He's Away)" by The Who from the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus. Easily my favorite single live performance of all-time.

Not uncool at all.  I love that "Fly on the Windshield" moment too.  I also love later on when the heartbeat-like drums and bass transition into the tune of "Back in NYC."
