Caught me a bit off guard to be honest but i was just browsing my music collection creating a playlist for a gaming session. Anyway, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven started playing and i just got a bit lost in it to be honest.....amazing stuff. Paused the game and listened to the whole song (headphones)
Doesn't really happen with the more modern chart music for me. Anyone have any similar experiences?
I'm not even a huge Led Zeppelin fan but thats the first time I've really listened to that song, and I mean REALLY listened to it :)
 
had a similar thing happen to me with 'shine on you crazy diamond' by pink floyd literally about an hour ago when i popped to my car for a smoke and heard it on the radio. my parents would listen to pink floyd on family holidays and i hadn't heard it for about 20 years and only now at 31 can i appreciate it.
 
A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails.
Fabulous piece of music that somehow just amplifies whatever emotion I'm feeling, good or bad.

Went to see "Australian Pink Floyd" at the royal albert hall a few years ago with a Pakistani guy who I was working with at the time. We had some, errrm, interesting cake before hand which made the light show and giant inflatible pig thing amazing. Shine On was amazing, never thought much of it before!

Californication, They Don't Care About Us and November Rain usually stop me in my tracks too
 
Pantha Du Prince - Saturn Strobe


I always have my music on random and every time this comes up I just have to stop and listen.

Also pretty much anything The Cat Empire.
