You know when you're just, well, exhausted. And then a song comes up on the (computer/stereo/radio/Ogg player). And your heart starts to tingle and you feel like you're gonna cry, and the hair on on your arms starts to stand up, and your stomach relaxes just a little bit. Yeah.
The intro of Moonlight Mile on Sticky Fingers did that to me today. On a good, loud stereo, when the strings finally come in - forget it. I'm a puddle. I need to be sopped up.

Electric Guitar Sounds:
Before moving on. Please consider the image at the left. Maddonna rocking a nice barre A chord. On a les paul. At Coachella. Rock.Here's a list of folks who have an electric guitar sound that makes my brain melt.
Paul Westerberg - (see: mr rabbit, merry go round , waiting f somebody)
Constantines - (shine a light LP)
Keith- can't you hear me knocking {gonna do a whole post on this intro}
early Who {1.37 seconds in to Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere this pop song turns scary.}
live Superchunk - driveway t' driveway
Richard Thompson - least distorted of the bunch, but his sound has been a razor.
Now, on the flip-flop:
Not awesome guitar but you'd think they should be:
early Superchunk - {nasty sounds}
Smashing Pumpkins - really, they don't sound gorgeous to me - they're brittle on Gish and sludgy and monolithic {which is bombs} on Siamese.
Jimmy Page from ii on. { on zep I - he rocks. and the rest, his guitar sounds like it's played through a brach's butterscotch wrapper, it's even MORE noticiable on the new remastered discs}
