The song is progressing normally, and then something happens that pushes it to another place entirely, taking your brain along with it for the ride...

E.g. the drums kicking in in "The Air Tonight" .

My two favourites:

1) Adam and the Ants - the guitar riff straight after "...too many antics in the forbidden zowowowowowowowone..." in "Ants Invasion"

2) Janes Addiction - the bit in "Three Days" around "we saw...... shadows of the morning light"

Can I nominate the gap between johnny was and the start of alternative Ulster. You've just had one blinding song then the anticipation of the first note of another. My arm hairs literally go up in that gap.

Best use of a whistle ever: Guns 'N Roses "Paradise City"

Best line in a song ever, followed by the best reaction by the crowd, again Guns 'N Roses " Sex, Drugs and Rock 'N Roll"

"i can't smoke a plant that was made by God
but i can kill my wife if i'm a football player"

The harmonica riff from Suicide Blonde was inspired I thought.

Yess! Abso-bloody-lutey.

A close second is Baba O'Riley - about 2'30" in it's gone all quiet, then Moony kicks it all off again, then we're away for another two minutes (including the mad violin bit) to the end.

The opening cowbell and drums on the Stones 'Honky Tonk Woman'

The hum before the opening of the Beatles 'I feel fine'
