Greatest moments in rock

[buffcoat]

The whole of Black Sabbath's Supernaut, which is perhaps the best rock song ever recorded, but if I have to point to a specific moment, it's 3:15 where the riff roars back in after the percussion solo.

I love this riff.  One of Iommi's finest moments.  Remember that old SNL sketch when Dan Ackroyd played the AM/FM DJ when he switching off from loud gabby morning dj coming of something like a Kiki Dee record on the AM side to the burned out 70s FM dj? "Awriiiiigh...comin' down heavy from the Dead show last night...I'm a little high right now...we got some Sabbaaaaaaaath...." then riff of Supernaut

"Eric Idle, of Monty Python, once said that Aykroyd's ability to write and act out characters flawlessly made him the only member of the SNL cast capable of being a Python." - High praise.

Just don't ask him to shave his mustache.

Him OR Cesar Romero.

They both earned their mustaches.

Kind of embarassed to admit that's the first time I've heard that, but agreed on its awesomeness.

When Tom beat the shit out of that shitthamine record on the 4-24-2012 show. A great moment in rock history.

'I guarantee you. No more music by the suckers.'

Yo, man, what do he mean by suckers, man?

Because I have a nominee: when Jimmy Page winds up and delivers one of the greatest guitar solos in rock at about 3:35 into Black Dog.

Because Tom asked for our Greatest Moments in Rock in the last two shows (Jan. 8th & 15th) I'm shaking the dust off this thread.  I am a compu-dummy and don't know how to take a moment in a song and send it as an mp3 file.  So if anyone can tell me how or if anyone shares my love for this moment in Zep's Black Dog- the final wind-up to the monumental guitar solo, starting with Plant's last few "ah-ah, ah-ah, aaaaahhhhh" and the initial burst of the solo, then perhaps you can send it?

thanks

About three and a half minutes into Shatner's cover of Pulp's "Common People" it starts to sound like Joe Jackson and Shatner have forgotten this is a friendly novelty record cover of a calm pop song, and we are all much better for it.  From there on to when Shatner curses with disgust, "watching ROACHES... CLIMB THE WALLS, if you CALL YOUR DAD, he can STOP IT ALL!" it's a great moment.
