do you get them when listening to some particular songs? some people don't seem to ever have experienced this. I'm happy about being able to react to music in such a strong way.

the following songs do it for me:

Devin Townsend - Deep Peace, Bastard, Deadhead, Away, A Simple Lullaby
Fates Warning - Heal Me
Psychotic Waltz - Halo Of Thorns, Hanging On A String, Into The Everflow,...
Primordial - Cast To The Pyre
Anathema - Deep
 
i have that with a few songs. but just now i have a hard time remember which. it's mostly with stuff i listened to long ago (like in 1998) and have many old memories connected to the songs.

travel in stygian is such a song. but it's always just certain moments of the song; not the whole thing. with travel in stygian it's the way he sings the last word of the refrain till the fast-as-hell part begins.
 
Shining - Ytterligare ett steg närmare total jävla utfrysning, that guitar solo at 3:22
Kotiteollisyys - Hyvää Tulevaisuutta
Katatonia - Soil's Song
Katatonia - I Transpire
Ahab - Below The Sun
Alice In Chains - Would?
Gojira - Flying Whales
Emperor - In The Wordless Chamber

Just to name a few...
 
i get goosebumps all the time when listening to music.

some of my favourites:

mar de grises - be welcome oh hideous hell
poison the well - apathy is a cold body
basically any opeth song, especially off MAYH
the majority of the my dying bride catalogue
the angelic process - dying in a-minor
ablaze in hatred - deceptive awareness
negura bunget - om
ne obliviscaris - entire catalogue

stuff like that.
 
^Hopefully Ne Obliviscaris find a lead guitarist. I give the Aurora Veil ep heaps of spins. In terms of goosebumps, I get it all the time, with a lot of different music, rather than try write a list, because it would take forever, the last time I got goosebumps was during Radiohead- nude when I spun in rainbows earlier today.
 
There are many songs that have given me goosebumps at some point or the other, but few that do that constantly.

Opeth - A Fair Judgement: Basically everything from Mike's short acoustic solo through the "leave it be" part all the way to the end of Peter's solo. Musical orgasm!
Opeth - Windowpane: The relaxation solo before they go into the opening riff in preparation of the final verse.
Opeth - To Rid the Disease: Totally evil piano kicks in. Enough said.
More Opeth moments.
Metallica - To Live is to Die: The melodic part right before the clean guitars kick in. Mike plays that clean riff during his riff game.
Metallica - The Outlaw Torn: People may say whatever they want about the Loads, but this song has amazing musical moments. Kirk's slide solo after James' volume-knob notes is stunning.
Swallow the Sun - The Empty Skies: 04:10-05:58. One of the most impressive moments of build-up and explosion I've ever heard in a song.
Hollenthon - Lords of Bedlam: I've heard the violins at the start of this song are taken from some movie soundtrack, but it doesn't bother me. Coupled with the guitars, it's amazing.
Draconian - The Gothic Embrace: They start playing "faster", the guitars cry and a choir chants in the background. Simply amazing moment right there.
Therion - Clavicula Nox: Lots of goosebumps over there. Especially around the 01:15 mark.
Blackfield - The Hole in Me: Chorus.
 
A great many songs give me goosebumps and the shivers, I usually find its due to the way a line is sung, or a guitar or a keyboard played if its especially passionate or eerie or whatnot.. Too many to list though.
 
Metallica - The Outlaw Torn: People may say whatever they want about the Loads, but this song has amazing musical moments. Kirk's slide solo after James' volume-knob notes is stunning.

Outlaw is one of my favorite Metallica songs, and the S&M version is............. wow.... oh my fucking god......
 
Sigur Ros-Track 7
Primordial-Empire Falls
Drudkh-When Flames Turn to Ash, Furrow of the Gods
Empyrium-A Pastoral Theme
