You should listen to Muse;

This is just simply amazing, 12 minute symphony, 3 pieces, my personal fav. being part III;

[Echolalia]

Holy cow I can't keep up! I'll try to listen to all of these (some of them I'm already familiar with)

Anyway, here are a couple that I absolutely love that I'll share with you:

This is a band named Anberlin, and the part that absolutely does it for me is when the intensity picks up from an otherwise acoustic song, then when the choir kicks in its unbelievable. If you have 6 minutes to kill and some speakers check it out (quality isn't the greatest)

Not too big of a Radiohead fan, but Fake Plastic Trees is a beautiful and deep song.

Its from FF-X2 (otherwise average game) but this song is astounding. I'm trying to learn it on guitar right now, actually.

Also, does anyone know how to embed youtube videos?
Edit: Thanks!

It's easy. Copy the URL from the Youtube video (use the URL box right above the "Embed Video" box for best results).

Then in your LGW response, paste the link, highlight what you just pasted, and click the "video" button at the top of the response window. Easy peasy, Japanesy.

Considering this is the season, anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra does it for me. Wizards in Winter, and most of all Christmas Canon by them are songs that are mesmerizing.

To Zanarkand - Final Fantasy X

I knew I liked you for a reason.

I'll add Suteki Da Ne (from FFX) and Sanctuary (from Kingdom Hearts II) to that as well.

Another song that always gets me is Millstone by Brand New, especially the scream at the 2:46 mark of the song.

I'm not sure about chills, but I can tell you a few that bring me to tears. But that's another story.

[Lidstromboli]

the best christmas song

[CupChamps979802]

I like a lot of classic rock and I could probably put a lot of songs into this category, but this cover of Love, Reign O'er Me by Pearl Jam live at the VH1 Rock Honors is really doing it for me right now

Yeah, you can always count on a song from a video game to make a list like this.

Speaking of which, if you're a Nobuo Uematsu fan (composed the music for the FF series, until leaving after FFX), then you should check out some of the songs from Lost Odyssey from the Xbox360. It's a very Final Fantasy-ish game, and N.U. composed the music for it as well. A few songs to look for would be "A Formidable Enemy Appears", "A Sign Of Hope" and "Demonic Infringement". (I'll try and provide links when I'm home from work).
