I like your Bruce Selections. Except for Open All Night. Not a fave of mine.
But Wreck On The Highway has become my newest Springsteen favorite. Smiley

i guess i could have said Nebraska in its entirety - the wholething is one big shiver up your spine for lots of different reasons imho see Atlantic City

as for bowie - the feedback at the start of station to station gets me every time as does the chorus on Sons of the Silent Age - dramatic or what?!

For me there is only one song that TRULY defines Tingle (I did not coin the phrase, Throwaway, but YES, it is part of the RO vocabulary). The opening chords of Gimme Shelter to this day cause every hair on my body to stand straight up. If I hear that song I stop dead in my tracks wherever I happen to be.

Two non-Stones songs worth mention:

Heroes-Bowie
Baba O'Reilly-The Who.

What I love about open all night is that it's like the flip side/contrast to State Trooper, even using the same lyrics in a couple of places.  It's nice to know that for all the psychos out there on the road at 3 AM there's at least one decent cat . . .

Many of my nominations have already been listed and I won't repeat them.  I will join in FG's comments regarding the greatest rock song ever recorded (and #4 on Barack's list of favorites), "Gimme Shelter."

One tingler that hasn't been mentioned is "Attics of My Life" by the Grateful Dead.  When that song crescendoes to the line, "When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me," the bumps start goosing.
