Songs that make your hair stand on end?

For me, the two biggies are Procession by The Moody Blues ~ I had never heard stereo sound before in my life and this song scared the hell out of me ~ and The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash. I believe that JC was dying when he performed it.

There was a spoken track on a John Denver album my family had when I was REALLY small. It was called "The Box" and it was about a box that, when opened, killed people, including children. Nowadays I just laugh at it, as it has a high WTF factor, especially since it's by John Denver.

And when I first saw it on HBO in the early 80s..

This a a very HEAVY melancholy song, yet it's also hopefull. The vocals just destroy me (in a good way, mind you)

The Well Of Souls by Candlemass. The haunting vocals, the music, and the lyrics come together to create a truly medieval imagery that just reaches down and grabs you. The song is from the 1987 album, Nightfall.

A very haunting and sinister song by a largely overlooked band that should have been bigger than they became.

To be honest, no songs have that particular effect on me.

Well, if you look, in real life, anything like your avatar, you wouldn't have any hair to stand!

So, what is it when somebody gets a joke without realizing it was a joke, and uses it to set up the same joke? That's common enough, there has to be a name for it.

When I first heard Black Flag's DAMAGED it freaked me out-. Then it became comedy-it's so overblown angst...!I do love Flag-there great! But I dont take them too seriously anymore-(if you ran into me in the 80's-forget it-Flag and the Dead Kennedys were my religion.
