The one thing that keeps standing out of my mind: The vocal layers and harmonies near the final parts of Savatage's "Chance."

A couple of the lines in If He Should Break Your Heart, at around 1:05 to 1:35.........so emotive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIaBODKuars

Asia,
Only time will tell,

"as sure as the sun will cross the sky, this lie is over,
lost, like the tears the used to tide, me over.

The first 2 words of the greatest ballad ever ... "Highway run ..."

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had

STR is an incredible song. I give it a 99/100, but Faithfully gets a 100/100. :wink:

Seal. I have always loved the driving bassline and keyboard melody to Killer.

Tremendous live version in Paris - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-ysZdv4 ... re=related

As for musicality, I'm addicted to the Take Cover intro, the louder the better (can't friggin wait to hear that one live someday). Just love the combination of the drums, guitar and bass.......great stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIuicNwYBgA

And Paul's beauuuutiful guitar intro on Just Take Me Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Awmr6NHVXE

And the intro to Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion of course......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymbNKQWYKRM&feature=fvst

Good stuff! Next to vocals, I seem to be drawn to heavy bass driven songs.

Loooove Marcel's bass line in Talisman's XTC.........especially the intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnhtpc1bNSU

LOVE that song, almost fell over last year when TSO broke into it. Hoping they will have it in the set this year too!

by **Dano** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 3:43 am

Way too many to think of at the moment, but one that immediately comes to mind is Neal's solo in "When I Think Of You". It's not a terribly long solo, but I feel the emotion in every single note. It's one of the few solos that can literally reduce me to tears. And then when Perry comes in with "I tried to forget...." right after, I'm a goner.

Way underrated of a song. And the way it goes into "Easy To Fall". Two songs that tear at the heart back to back.

I have yet to see TSO. The one year we got tickets to a show in Ohio and the weather was too bad to travel. They are here in Indianapolis the weekend after Thanksgiving but we will be visiting my family out of state. :cry:

Hopefully you'll get to catch them someday! You definitely won't be disappointed, amazing show they put on.
