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.

Rufus Wainwright's Oh What a World and In My Arms. Michael Jackson - Billie JeanFugazi - Do You Like Me?, or Full DisclosureMission of Burma - MicaUnderworld - Dirty EpicNeutral Milk Hotel - Oh ComelySufjan Stevens - Come On Feel the Illinoise, or Casimir Pulaski DayAretha Franklin - Chain of FoolsFour Tet - UnspokenDJ Shadow - Building Steam With a Grain of SaltTori Amos - Professional Widow (ugh, this song came on the iPod yesterday and I got incredibly fucking distracted while I was driving. This is probably her greatest moment. Fie to those who doubt Boys for Pele's brilliance! Nothing else she ever did or has done since matches it, but what a definitive statement from a weird artist).

I mentioned it in another thread just the other day, but Built to Spill's "Velvet Waltz", particularly the "and you better not be angry, and you better not be sad!" part.
Kraftwerk's "Neon Lights", especially the 1/3 of it.
Microphones - "Map"

Also, the live/acoustic recording of Bjork's 'The Anchor Song' with the Brodsky Quartet gobsmacks me every time--just thinking about it stands my arm hair on end. It was a song I'd completely forgotten from 'Debut'--she wasn't even able to hit the single note that gives me the shivers on the original recording.

I may hang out in the wrong circles, but this is the first time I've seen anyone share my opinion on the awesomeness of this song.
