I don't know if I'm the only one that does this but sometimes I find a hook in a song that I absolutely love and have no idea of how to explain why. Like I'll listen to a rather average song just to listen to this hook and it gets me every time. I'm moved. Examples:
Mission of Burma's "Trains" - the vocal melody of find another way, show me, show me I kind of wish that made it more bombastic and repeat it a few times
I always shudder when the guitar fuzz takes over at 2:40 on Dinosaur Jr's "No Bones"
The no-fucking-around beginning to Minutemen's "Shit From An Old Notebook" is another big favorite. So funky and righteous that I can't listen to it in public without looking like an idiot.
R.E.M.'s "Revolution" is pretty lame all around in my opinion but Mike's lyric The future never happened! blows me away. He just sounds so resentful to me when he sings it.
