Every time 'Oh, come let us adore them/ California overboard' is uttered in Smith and Jones Forever I get a little rush.

The pause in Waiting Room.

The fart in the intro to Rapeman's cover of Just Got Paid.

The entirety of the cd "Mutations" by beck is perfect to me. Sorry.

The part of Washer that starts playing at 3:46.

Here's one:

The moment in Eno's "China My China" where our then-blonde semi-transvestite explains that the reason we have fingers is to "provide percussion over solos," and then the track immediately shifts into a mass of rhythmic typewriters while Phil Manzanera plays a badass synth-warped guitar solo over it.

Priceless. A great song off a great album.

orion! when the first "real" riff begins. so, so, so fucking great.

some mid aged douchebags badly covering this song

There's a lot of them listed here, so here's one based solely on the fact that it's a rap song that has my name in it.

From What's Beef? - Notorious BIG...

"You bought a first-class ticket to Lucifer. Real name Christopher."

That part always makes me smile.

A couple more:

The end of Swans' "Raping A Slave": "YA BURN IT - THEN YA EAT IT - YAH EAT AHT - YA EAT AHT - N YA EAT AHT - WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY (cut)"... has pure rage ever been more convincingly represented?

Every time in The Meters' "Cissy Strut" where the riff goes away for a little bit and Ziggy Modeliste hits the drums in this perfect pure funk rhythm for two seconds

The moments in the later minutes of the 12" single mix of PiL's "Death Disco" where Lydon isn't singing and Levene's just shredding his guitar to pieces

The beginning of Tricky's "Strugglin'" where Tricky's just stuttering disconnected phrases and then the beat comes in over the squeaking stairs, the dripping water, and the gun-cocking noises

The part in Sly Stone's "Spaced Cowboy" where Freddie Stone sings a completely emotionless "yeeeeee-haaahhhhh" in the background while Sly's yodeling after the first "verse"

When the Beatles' "Yer Blues" shifts to a double-time solo section and then cuts immediately back into the first rhythm exactly after the last solo note sounds

and finally:

the scream at 3:52 in James Brown's 1970 remake of "Give It Up or Turnit A Loose" with the Collins Bros.-Clyde Stubblefield band. indescribable.

When the bagpipes come in at the end of Patti Smith's Easter.

In Bowies Space Oddity after the chorus and then a few strummed acoustic guitar chords there is a BRRRRUP sound going into the instrumental part. I really like the BRRRRRUP.
(Maybe a clavinet arpeggio?)

The vocal parts in Laura Nyro's Eli's Comin, especially the slow end.

The Neat!Neat!Neat! vocal part in the Damned song.

The "you break my heart" vocal that slides from verse to chorus (sort of) in the Beach Boys Caroline No

The opening to Public Image. (Makes me want to jump up and dance. I know, I know. Scary.)

Piccolo trumpets in Penny Lane.

The parts Elastica stole from Wire.

The random sounding guitar solo in Wire's Sand In My Jonts that lifts into a bright roar when the vocals come back.

Where Robert Smith spells out F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O.

The little in between song parts on The Glove.

The violin part in Peter Murphys Cut You Up. (I usually hate rock violins).

I've already mentioned the WP 'brassneck' (single version) - big finale, drums & guitar part

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists 'bridges, squares' - melodica part (or whatever that is) & guitar lick/solo

NMN 'graveyard shift'- drums & bass instrumental outro, especially one drum fill

Another NMN song springs to mind - 'i need you'- the climax, combined with lyrics

*google*

Woke up dreaming that i was dead
Beside you on the bed
I smoothed my hand across your hip
And lingered with my fingertips
From beyond, from far away
Blessing where the shadows lay
I whispered what i could not say

The opening, first ~ 45 sec of the Ruts 'staring at the rude boys'

M. E. Smith shouting madness:

Then you know in your brain
You know in your brain
LEAVE THE CAPITOL!
EXIT THIS ROMAN SHELL!

Kim Gordon screaming 'now I wanna be your dog' in the midst of cacophony

VU 'sunday morning' - viola outro

etc.

Before I ever heard the record, I remember No Means No playing I Can't Stop Talking; during the part where it all breaks down and starts building back up again, Rob was doing this thing with his foot on the monitor, flexing his fingers for the crowd before starting his part, then as it built right up he was looking at everyone manically and miming "Is this what you want?!?" Then it all kicks off and the place is a magic bouncing land.

So it was nice to get the record later and find that bit creeping up on me. It was also good the next time I saw them live when they played that song again and I knew what was coming, and he did the whole bit again.

So yeah, that bit!

M - The Cure
guitar solo

Canada - Shellac
guitar solo

Scentless Apprentice - Nirvana
Drum intro; prechorus instrumental bit

Catholic Block - Sonic Youth
fast instrumental bit; slow instrumental outro

Shadow Play - Joy Division
Lead guitar bits

electralane - gone under sea
the bit where the vox start out sounding more like keyboard holding a note and end in a shouty yelpy thing...

the drum roll at 3m14s on "let's panic later" by the ex.
