OMG OMTFM about Poor Places, although 2:30 and 2:49 are just as good and IATTBYH has about 6 moments worthy of this list alone (0:54 the best).
Best Cure moment I shall return to myself...there are MANY candidates...

― Stephen Bush (Stephen B.), Monday, 7 August 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link
I just think Mr. Beast is a step back and somewhat formulaic for Mogwai's standards, plus, I'm a sucker for length (insert joke here). Maybe it needs more listens. Friend Of The Night is a great tune, though, don't get me wrong.
Best Cure, I'd say...hmm... 4:01 into End or 3:31 into A Strange Day? It's a toughie...

1:56 into "Want" from Wild Mood Swings, the Robert Smith howl, the release after the huge build up of the intro
3:04 into "Maybe Someday" from Bloodflowers, the quirky keyboard fill in the bridge area of the song
4:12 - 4:15 of "Bloodflowers" (the title track), the guitar subtly gearing up for the wailing solo in the background of Robert's last words in that verse

In Coil's First Dark Ride, we've just been listening to ten minutes of Peter Christopherson's ambient atmospheric unsettling mood music with recordings of Charles Manson asking "you want to be a hippy cult leader" etc. and then some beats start to come in and then the whole thing hits and it's just perfectly done and you better listen to it 'cause this is a pretty shit description.

Oh, and the whole "In my dreams, you're alive and you're crying/as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet" bit at 1:59 into Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2". Come on, everyone knows exACTly what I'm talking about. It gets you every time and you all know it. The entire song is so cryptic, yet with the sheer emotion of Mangum's voice, coupled to the simplicity of the line on it's own (as opposed to something like heads filled with flames or finding tongues in peoples teeth), it is simultaneously incredibly moving and beautiful, instantly evokeing a clear picture the simple longing for a loved one who has died, and the ecstacy that such a reunion would bring.

3:47 into Yes' And You And I, next two minutes greatest two minutes prog has ever seen
5:05 into Roxy Music's If There Is Something. CRUCIAL to this moment is the way the drums are recorded, and the way it switches, suddenly bringing the entire song into focus. 3:05 into Roxy Music's In Every Dream Home A Heartache is also a scorcher, if only for the archest turn of phrase in Western rock history.

15:02 into Pink Floyd's Echoes

3:55-4:03 in Miles Davis's 'Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus)', when Miles finally plays the refrain, ending on a long relieved exhale of a note just after the horn section dies down. chills, maaaaaaan.
Molly O'Day's "weeeeeEEEEEEeeelllllll" at 1:23 in 'King Jesus Will Roll All Burdens Away' (its impact is only slightly diminished by its recurrence a couple of verses later)
the snapping strings and clattering percussion at 2:15-2:37 in Nina Nastasia's ''What's Out There' (and the abrupt transition back to the verse, as if nothing happened)
the really deep breath Ichiko Aoba takes at 5:20 in the live version of '機械仕掛乃宇宙'
the drumroll at 2:30 in Antoine's 'Une autre autoroute'

There are so many of these but one that springs to mind, because I listened to the song the other day, is when Madonna's 'Into the Groove' goes into the bridge/change for the first time. I like the chord change but it's really the bassline -- it feels unstoppable over that section.
Another one (I had this on repeat play a few months ago): 'Tiny Dancer' by Elton John -- the chord change where he sings 'HIGHway' in 'count the headlights on the highway'.
