My favourite moment on record is not musical. It comes on side two of the vinyl release of White Light White Heat. As the howling majesty of Lou's all-time world ranking number one screaming guitar solo subsides, the silence hollows out, there's a snick as Lou's life support is switched off, then a moment of suspension with nothing but the 4/4 beat echoing internally, before the bassy jugganauth that is Sister Ray stirs into life. There are lots of other examples, from Randy, Phil O, Phi S, Timi, Lorraine and other great heroes of my youth, but nothing I can properly illustrate from youtube, soz.

I love the sound of drums crashing in to a tune.
So the start of fucking in the bushes.
Also when it happens mid tune like 2:37 of

5.02. It's not huge but it has an emotional kick and pay off that feels earned. The last new album that genuinely moved me (although maybe Queen of Denmark too)

3:25, when the organ just kicks in and takes the track somewhere else
4:00, again with the little synth melody cutting in
2:05, with the brass suddenly going droney and weird

There's a short blast of what sounds like a reveille being played at the 9:48 mark of Pt. 3 of Metal Machine Music that just gets me every time.

Ray's reminded me of one of my favorites - in "I Heard Her Call My Name", the brief (and probably unintended) pause in Lou's guitar track between the second and then my mind split open and the next explosion. It sounds like his mind splitting open.

Yes! Absolutely. A few tmes in the early Seventies, where every Saturday was an acid day, I used to lie on my back with the top of my skull nuzzling the loudspeaker of my mono valve-amplified record player and play this LOUD, I mean REALLY LOUD – and that moment was like a trepanation.

Freshman year of college, that album and Kick Out The Jams were what my roommate and I would crank to get revenge on others in our dorm suite, who used their much better and much louder stereo to play Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" - all night (and day). WL/WH and KOTJ seemed to drown their shit out no matter what volume we played them at. (By contrast, the third Velvet Underground seems quiet no matter what volume you play it at.)

I remember when I first heard heard ‘Monkey Gone To Heaven’ in 1989, and Black Francis drawls ‘Rock Me Joe’ before Joey Santiago’s solo. It seemed oddly great in the context of the times as the weeklies were very anti ‘Rock’ back then, therefore so was I, and this seemed such a rock thing to do.

When the second guitar loop comes in at 2:30, it's the sound of the heavenly choir switching their amps to 11.
Again, at about 2:30, the high whine of clarinet (I think) that cuts through just before the drums kick in and the song starts proper. Spine tingling.
And a bit more obvious:

The whole bloody thing really, but especially the " I want to love you, but ..woah..woah..woah" at 5.20. The way Arthur's voice trails off into the soft strings gets me every time. There are some fantastic shots of the band and 60s LA I've not seen before btw. Well worth a watch.

When Bob Cranshaw's bass comes in after that pause at 0:34, one that seems to just go on a moment too long... and then suddenly the wholegroup are off into that immortal melody.
