The Great Gig in the Sky

Before anyone else posts a topic on their favourite cheese or the merits of toasting I was wondering which track, from which album makes your hair on the back of your neck stand up?

My step father got me into Pink Floyd and every now and then I drive somewhere quiet, partake in the herb and then let 'The Great Gig in the Sky' wash over me.

I actually did this a few days ago at a dogging spot that was rather quiet but when I turned the volume I realised I was drowning out the sound of a woman that was being heavily pumped a couple of cars away

this has got to be our most favourite piece of music - besides our love for classical, rock, blues etc music - Pink Floyd and the Great Gig...there has not been anything like it since. Actually the whole album is ace. My kids love it, too some 27 years after it was first released - it appeals to young people even today.

'Woman in chains' by Tears for fears is another emotional song, and it sounds like Clare Torry from The great gig in the sky is doing the female vocals for it.

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World - the opening bars and you just know what's coming next, then it builds and builds throughout the song. I always play it in the car as loud as the speakers will take it.

Another song that makes my hair stand on end is Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades.

I can't say I'm much of a ballad lover but I do love Dire Straits 'Brothers in Arms'

If we're talking Dire Straits then it's got to be Romeo & Juliet. Classic.

Hmmm Im just mulling it over with my imaginary pipe haha

Infact we have to skip forward a couple of decades to the Tall Paul remix of INXS 'Precious Heart'

Its more poignant because of the loss of Michael Hutchence

Ive actually found it on Youtube so turn the volume up and put the lights down low

Music plays a big part in my life and I have a record/tape/cd collection spanning just about everything from classical right through to thrash metal with bits of everything in between. There is masses of music that moves me or makes the hair on my neck stand.

Billy Joel's Piano Man is, for me, one of the best songs ever written and I never tire of hearing it

Django Reinhardt's Djangology is another one that makes my spine tingle

More recently Barb Jungr's music has been affecting me
