To answer an earlier post, "Songs that still amaze me" != "my favorite songs". For example, many of my favorites are by Oasis <*blush*> but it's the rare Oasis track that has *ever* put me in a state of amazement.

Anyways, a dozen off the top of my head:

Godflesh - Christbait Rising
Godflesh - Dream Long Dead
Godflesh - I Wasn't Born To Follow
Godflesh - Don't Bring Me Flowers
Godflesh - Merciless
Godflesh - Black Boned Angel
Godflesh - Gift From Heaven
Godflesh - Time, Death & Wastefullness
Godflesh - Jesu
Techno Animal - Flight of the Hermaphrodite
Mahler - 5th Symphony
Mahler - 6th Symphony <-- And you think Deliverance is ominous!

... aw, what the hell, let's throw in The Drapery Falls in there too for a baker's dozen.

That's interesting because a lot of the songs that "amaze me" are the ones that I find artistically special tracks that usually suit me best, but the brilliance in the creating and making the music is often what amazes me... and can make them my favorite songs, although it's still not wholly the same.

Just made me think of something.

Opeth - The Drapery Falls
Slayer - Die By The Sword
Iron Maiden - Be Quick or be Dead
