To name but a few...
Jeff Buckley - 'Last Goodbye': "Kiss me out of desire baby/ Not consolation"
Kate Bush - 'Hounds of Love', 'Cloudbusting'..."I still dream...."
Abba - 'Dancing Queen' Obvious choice but then you're not really human if you don't include this.
Slint - 'Good Morning Captain' Towards the end when the blank sheets of noise mutate into something more muscular
Spiderbait - 'Horschack Army'... More thrilling noise. See also...
Swans - 'Love Will Save You', 'Power and Sacrifice'
Lamb - 'Gorecki' When the beats come in....
*It's sort of cheating to name dance music, cos they've been lab-produced precisely to induce these effects. But still, while we're about it, here are some tracks that are all about bringing the beat back...
Chemical Brothers - 'Sunshine Underground'Underworld - 'Cowgirl'Leftfield - 'Song Of Life' Christ.....
and sundry others that aren't leaping to mind right now*
Coldplay - 'Daylight' (The chorus crashing in), 'Amsterdam'
Radiohead - er, almost everything. For know, 'A Reminder ("The night that we kissed and I really meant it")
Beethoven - 9th Symphony. Crashingly obvious. Sue me
Lauryn Hill - 'Ex-Factor' "Why won't you live for me?"
Bjork - 'Unison'
Doves - 'Pounding' Towards the end, the Marr guitar.
Smiths. Too many. How about 'Well I Wonder'? "Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive"
Air - 'La Femme D'Argent'. The floating synth melodies towards the end.
Aimee Mann - 'Wise up' Played by friend on return from club, high as. Damn near thought my head would come off.
er... N-Sync - 'Girlfriend' The Neps are frikkin brilliant at bridges. cf Justin Timberlake - 'Rock Your Body'
The first time I heart the beats on 'Smack Your Bitch Up'
And that's more than enough for now....

The Man with the Child in His Eyes - those descending piano chords before the chorus. Actually, the whole song is one long shiver.
Coolio's I'll See You When You Get There makes me teary-eyed for reasons which I don't understand.
John Coltrane's live version of Naima for poignancy, and My Favourite Things for the other kind of spine-tingle.

In any event, I'm wrong and nickdastoor made me question and snopes told me for sure. So I learn.
In any event it's still a swell songs that sends shivers down my spine... murder or not.
