Thread premise is close enough to what i'm looking for that I won't start a new one.
Like, 'Last Splash' by the Breeders was the first album I bought on CD (out of a fucking *vending machine* at a movie theater). I have all these residual impressions of 'Last Splash' and its production that are probably negated if 'Cannonball' starts on the downbeat of the first verse and I'm only now realizing that what I've generally considered the aura of 'Last Splash' highly concentrated in the initial seconds of 'Cannonball'.
A false start, a very musical mic check- it's a really unclear sequence of gestures without which the Breeders would merely have been a waaaay above average garage band. It's the purest distillation of Last Splash, by extension also Bredders, 90's alt rock.
Other examples?

Maybe not quite what you're thinking of, but it always amuses me how, for a couple of years, it was de rigueur to end your alt-rock song with a blast of atonal guitar feedback. Like it was just impossible for the guitarist to mute the strings at the end of the song, but had to give way to the waves of super-alternative, crushing distortion.

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force We set our courseSpiralled through that timeless spaceTo this immortal place"
