Are there any songs out there that actually cause you to have a positive physical reaction when listening to them? I’m talking about that hair-raising, tingly feeling of a really good song.
Here’s some songs that give me this feeling (in alphabetical order):
“3 Libras” - A Perfect Circle
“Ask Me Anything” - The Strokes
“Everlong” - Foo Fighters
“Everything’s Not Lost” - Coldplay
“The Great Below” - Nine Inch Nails
“Halcyon + On + On” - Orbital
“Hide and Seek” - Imogen Heap
“Lateralus” - Tool
“Layla” - Derek & The Dominos
“Let Go” - Frou Frou
“Life Uncommon” - Jewel
“Only In Dreams” - Weezer
“Pushit [Live]” - Tool
“Rods and Cones” - Blue Man Group
“Someday” - The Strokes
“Structure” - The Cynic Project
“Susanne” - Weezer
“Tonight, Tonight” - The Smashing Pumpkins
“Unchained Melody” - The Righteous Brothers
“Warning Sign” - Coldplay
“Where I End and You Begin” - Radiohead
“Wish You Were Here” - Pink Floyd
I’m sure there are others that I’m forgetting.
So what songs make you tingle? 
Oh, my… I started thinking about your question, looking at my itunes library, and realize I’m a wallower - Most of the songs I listen to over and over again to make me think about bad times. Most of my good-tingly songs are the kind of songs you sing really loud in your car on that lonely stretch of I-40, or play while you’re jogging to give you that extra kick in the rear.
How about:
The Devil Inside - INXS
Public Enemy - He Got Game
Renegades of Funk - Rage Against the Machine
Wave of Mutilation - Pixies
Why Can’t This Be Love - Van Halen
When I Grow Up - Garbage
In the Waiting Line - Zero 7 (from Garden State)
Then there’s the O.C. Christmas Mix. Don’t ask.
Ciao!
Yay! I was beginning to think my comments didn’t work, hehe.
I have a lot of negative songs that I listen to as well. Of course, the song that really gets me going when I’m exercising or something is “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk. I used to listen to it nearly every morning to get myself going (just ask my friend Becka, it drove her nuts at work!).
