Songs That Give You Goosebumps.

Recommended Posts

There's plenty of older songs that give me goosebumps but there's nothing like hearing something new or something that you've never heard before and having that feeling, a recent song that did this to me was :-

Cara Dillon with Sam Lakeman - Garden Valley

Good call! NIN are a classic example of a band who never quite lived up to the expectations of their first album.

I'd disagree, I think just about anything NIN have put out, I'd regard as a masterpiece. Each album, for me, offers something different, although Pretty Hate Machine is about perfect.

I loved The Downward Spiral for it's intensity, The Fragile for it's scope, With Teeth for it's catchiness, and Year Zero for it's for being so technically tight and inventive. Each album has a distinctive sound. They were / are the complete band for me. I admire Reznor for not churning out the same record again, and again.

I won't deny that Year Zero was a bit poor, content wise, but in terms of sound it was incredible. The other four, mind, are all on a par with each other in my opinion. All excellent.

Can't really recall many songs that actually give me goosebumps to be honest.

Hurt by Johnny Cash does, but thats a pretty special song.

This is a song I love and it was even better at this particular gig but as I said, no goosebumps as such.
