Complex, exhilarating, cathartic...

Yep. Every time...

A Love Supreme

Pretty much anytime Annie Haslam opens her mouth to sing, I get chills. Near perfect intonation, effortless 5 octave range, loads of emotion. Great song by this underrated prog band.

I was fortunate to hear Glen Campbell play Wichita Lineman in person when I was a youngster.  He also did a great version of "Blackbird" that night.
Not sure which version of Wichita Lineman you are referring to but the one by Cassandra Wilson off "Belly of the Sun" is incredible--gives me the chills every time. 
Also Sprach Zarathustra - Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony on RCA Living Stereo!
