Most Wonderful Sound (Sugar Wiki)/Music
Examples of the Most Wonderful Sound in Music include:
- Rogue Wave's Nourishment Nation.
- The Funky Drummer Break
- The beginning of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train": AAAALLLLL AABBOOOOOOAAARRD!! HA HA HA HA HA HAA! DU-DUM (AI AI AI) DI-DUM DO-DUN DU-DUM...
- The wailing clarinet that kicks off a performance of Rhapsody In Blue.
- "Tangram Set 1" by Tangerine Dream is pretty much just one long, twenty-minute collection of Most Wonderful Sounds arranged into a progressive melody. Best of all is probably that ethereal windchime noise that plays from 3:26 to 3:34.
- The snazzy trumpet sound just after the most (in)famous part of "The Pink Panther Theme"... I love that better than the beginning, which is also good.
- When you hear the opening bass riff of "Under Pressure" (which is epic on its own), there are two ways it can go. One is to segue into "Ice Ice Baby". The other starts with a fantastic guitar riff which assures you that you're about to listen to Queen and David Bowie, not Vanilla Ice.
- The opening drumbeat to Coldplay's "In My Place". Few things have been recorded as perfectly.
- This Troper always confuses it with the opening to Led Zeppelin's version of "When The Levee Breaks", about which he has similar feelings.
- The epic chord at the start of A Hard Day's Night.
- The trumpets at the beginning of All You Need Is Love.
- The even-epic-er chord at the end of "A Day In The Life", which sounds like a piano being played with another piano.
- It was. With THREE OTHER PIANOS.
- The opening drum roll of "Glass Onion".
- Mariah Carey hitting her signature high note.
- "You're boned like a saint, with the consciousness of a snake."
- For a U2 fan, the intro to Where The Streets Have No Name.
- The shattering glass sound in Artillery's "Terror Squad".
- Hellion's shriek in Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance".
- The mad laughter at the end of Twilightning's "Rolling Heads".
- The revving chainsaw's (five of them!) at the start of WASP's "Chainsaw Charlie (Murders in the New Morgue)".
- The piano from The Rolling Stones's She's A Rainbow sounds like heaven in musical form.
- The harmonica, then piano a split second later, that opens "Thunder Road" on Springsteen's Born To Run.
- The drum machine sound from the Stop Making Sense version of Talking Heads's "Psycho Killer".
- From the Vocaloid song "PoPiPo": WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
- From "I want to eat tuna": "Maguroooooo o kudasaiiiii... nyaaaaaa!!"
- The main guitar riff from Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog." Greatest guitar riff ever.
- Djent djent. Djent djent djent. Djeeeeeeent-djent djent. Djent djent djent. Djeeeeeent...
- The opening to "Running the World" by Jarvis Cocker ranks up with "Where the Streets Have No Name." It makes you feel as though you were gently lifted into a pillar of light. Hear it here.
- The opening to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd.
- The opening riff to Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" Best. Riff. Ever.
- The intro to "Welcome To The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.
- Anything Mark Tremonti does with a guitar.
- "Ground control to Major Tom..." The entire song is pretty awesome, but that first line is so amazing this troper's muscles automatically relax upon hearing it.
- "PON PON WAYWAYWAY PONPONWAYPONWAYPONPON"
- "Ah, you make me happy!"
- This tropette loves listening to the chords at the beginning of Katy B's "Lights On".
- I want my, I want my, I want my MTV...
- The guitar solo in "Agony of Defeet" by Parliament. It starts at 3:37.
- The last couple minutes or so of this Parliament song. The combination of the strings and horns is nothing short of beautiful.
