    and of course, could the first few minutes of this be any more perfect?

    Bingo. He nailed it, guys.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Also, when Miles comes in after the meandering intro to "Shhh/Peaceful" on "In A Silent Way", it's hauntingly beautiful.

    Ooh! I'm in love with that album at the moment. Just listened to it this afternoon.

    Not THE most beautiful, but that silence in the last line in 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' off of Nirvana Unplugged. Wow.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    probably a couple of Buckley moments.

    On the Bataclan bootleg, when he gives way to the audience on "Hallelujah." Sounds like a fucking chorus of angels. Unbelievable.

    REM's Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain medley.

    And definitely this, a version of which another poster put up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA-ajvoGx8Y

    Agreed... I know what you mean, probably more moving than beautiful.

    Mozart's Requiem, all of it and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BqrCRaFb2I in particular
    Herbert von Karajan directing the Philharmonic of Berlin remains the most beautiful interpretation in my opinion.

    Especially when you see the video... he's had his eyes closed, and then BOOM, he opens his eyes really quickly and closes them to close the song... someone described it as if his soul leaves his body at that point... haha, it's so creepy!
    If I could, think I would give in.

    I had to write a paper about this song in school and I fell in love with it. It has a mood that just paralyzes me (in a good way).

    http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=x3MMEseZ2Fs&feature=related

    It's a Mahler song called Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen

    There are a hundred gorgeous songs around, but I think of this one when I think of that kind of stillness.

    I have always thought 'An Ending Ascent' by Brian Eno is one of the most incredible ambient songs ever.

    I agree 100%.

    Also, The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. Probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, musically and lyrically.

    mick hucknall dying by choking on his own vomit after a Babycham binge... its not happened yet, but when it does it will be the most beautiful thing in music... until then i think it might be the guitar solo of Midlake's - Head Home... (2.49 into this video ... which gives me goose bumps every time... and it makes me do the guitar face. :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    This song is called "Architecture", by Chequerboard. Its short, and most likely not THE most beaufitul moment....but i heard it once and never forgot it. live versions of it go on and on.

    the calming effect that this one minute acoustic arrangement has on me is astounding. others dont seem to get it, but its one of my favourite recorded pieces ive ever heard
    some amazing pieces in this thread

    Nice choice.

    Requiem for Dying Mothers is another beautiful Stars of the Lid song.

    Maybe the part in Van Morrison's "Madame Geoge" where he repeats the line "And the love that loves the love that loves to love" about 15 times. Phenominal

    Here's one that hit me today while I was at the gym. QOTSA, Misfit Love. I couldn't find the studio version online, here's a live version.

    From 4:46 to the end of the song, this just rocks:
