Vocals that give you the chills.....

What vocal lines are SO AMAZING they give you the chills?

Multiple posts encouraged!

My first one would be:

"Sulfurous and burning.... spitting out the sun. The begining of creation of the golden one...
A window to the west, a blazing star above.
In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun..."

Bruce Dickinson - The Alchemist

Dickinson is da man...

Loneliness of the long distance runner:
This part :"I've got to keep ruuuuning the course..."

Deja vu:
Well, basically the whole song, but especially the verses... Example:
"Cause you know this has happened before..."

The Clairvoyant:
The verses. Example:
"Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes..."

Brave New World:
The whole song. Awesome!

 

[Nefilim]

This might not be the most lyrically chilling song ever, but the vocals on Deep Purple's "Child In Time" (esp on "Made in Japan") goes straight to the bone. Ian Gillan is too fucking amazing!

Oh heres one that never fails to give me the chills...

Zak Stevens - (Savatage) Not What You See..

"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand what I see..."

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Skid row:

Beat yourself blind:

...Down at the boneyard
they're diggin up the relics
Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines
I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission
The zombies had a ball but they DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!!!

...and the rest of Sebastians vocal till the end of the song gives me chills.


Priest:
Vocals on Devils child.
