  1. Nicely played.
    For that, I give you the solo BB King plays over the strings in the fade of "The Thrill Is Gone."

    The beginning guitar riff of Diesel's Sausalito Summer Nights.
    The start of Tommy Tutone's 867-5309.
    The end of the Beatles' Day in the Life.

    Nice one and considering that's my favorite Springsteen song, I'm ashamed of myself for not mentioning it.

    That's an E Major chord. If you listen closely, just before the LP/CD ends, you can hear the studio's air conditioners.

    Good call on that "Rockin In The Free World" verse, BYH.

    Off the top of my head:

    The intro to "The Final Countdown": So sue me.

    Intro to Megadeth's "Trust": A hard-hitting drum riff which leads to the guitar intro that starts slow and keeps picking up steam until the song kicks into gear.

    Prince's guitar solo in "Let's Get Crazy."

    Green Day's "American Idiot," when the drummer changes up the beat ever so slightly halfway through the song.

    Deep Purple's "Hungry Daze," a cut from the 1984 reunion album, when Gillan sings the lyric "We all came out to Montreux/But's that's another song."

    Peter Buck's guitar solo in "Flowers of Guatemala"

    The beginning and the end of U2's "The Streets Have No Name"

    The ending of the Stones "Moonlight Mile"

    a few more:
    - the opening snare shot to Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"
    - the opening drums to Springsteen's "Roulette"
    - the drum press in Springsteen's "Thunder Road" after the "Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks" line
    - the piano intro to Springsteen's "New York City Serenade"
    - the Bo Diddley beat in any song
    - the glass shattering at the start of Billy Joel's "You May Be Right"
    - the horns in the Kinks "Come Dancing"
     
  8. When the horns start up on Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me A Dime," and Duane really starts to wail.

    For years, I always heard "rape, murder" as "Abe Burrows," and wondered why the Stones were name-checking an old Broadway playwright.

    As for musical moments, it might be getting overplayed these days, but when the chords thunder down in the intro to "Baba O'Riley" is always a winner.

    Can anyone besides me hear the dog-whistle tone?

    And the first few bars of this, an entire piece made of great moments. Listen to the whole of it if you never have. And turn your volume up:
