    I may have to agree with you unless something else comes to mind.

    Would "mr. mojo rising....." from LA Woman be considered a break down?
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    I like Audioslave's Set It Off... It builds... "And it all adds up inside your head..." then falls... "Time is wasting..." Then explodes into the chorus.

    And I'm not sure if they count, but the two bridge sections in Evacuation make that song.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    The lower piano chords before the drums kick in on Sigur Ros' 'Saeglopur'.

    I'll agree with Sigur Ros, but have to go with the buildup in Popagladio(sp?) otherwise known as Track #8 from ( ).

    Jonsi' wailing in his high pitched voice and building guitars ending in a complete drum explosion. Perfected chaos to end a beautiful melodic album.
    It's all about the music...

    The chill guitar lead up into the "I COUNT THE DAYS TO FIND..." part. Give me chills every fucking time.

    The Grudge is a good one. The breakdown after the silent moment in Kerosene by Big Black.

    One of my friends' band played one of their originals which, on record, has 5 beatdowns as they refer to it. Their record while playing it live is 16 of these beatdowns. They extended a 4 minute noisepunk song to about 12 minutes. Brutal.

    I'd say No Attention by SG for me. The part where he screams "no attention!" and it breaks down into the slower tempo is orgasmic.

    Just about every Hatebreed song... Well, at least their older stuff....

    "The Wrath of Sanity" by Earth Crisis.

    It's short but I've always enjoyed the guitar break in "this is a call" by Foo Fighters.
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    i know there's a ton i can't think of right now, probably a bunch of rage against the machine songs, but one i always loved was when they come out of the jam from pj's version of porch from atlanta'94
    My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"
