    Let's have a thread of those songs that just sent a shiver through you and raise the hair on your arms.

    I'll start: Johnny Cash - Hurt (turn it up).

    This starts out classically and softly but builds up into a powerful rock crescendo.

    For me the original does it nine inch nails has that manic frenzy to it.

    Although the johnny cash version is brilliant as well, I find I get twitchy listening to the original NIN version

    Sinead: The Foggy Dew.
    Doesn't stop her being a fruitcake though.

    Possibly the worst version. She does a passable version of Abba's Chiquitita, to be fair to her.

    Cant have a thread about powerful spine tingling songs without this

    What I love about these songs is that just when you think they're done, they kick in again and just keep going.

    Especially from about 3:30, with the payoff from 4:19 to 4:25.
