"The most POWERFUL piece of music you have ever heard?"

What music do you find exceptionally powerful in an emotionally moving way? just a little topic I was wondering about when watching Revenge of the Sith last week.

I would have to say the most powerful and inspirational piece I have ever heard would be 'Duel of the Fates' from star wars episode 1:The phantom menace but I think it features in all of the new films. I'm sure its the echoeing choral element that sets it apart from other film tracks. I'd say 'Duel of the Fates' is closely followed by Rob Dougan's 'Chateau' from The matrix reloaded and 'In a heartbeat' by In da house from 28 days later.

what do you think? is there any music from the commercial sector that you find particularly powerful?

I was old enough but didn't watch it.

Just looked it up..

'Nessun Dorma', indeed. So yes... well remembered, SMV.

You phillistine?! What's wrong with you? Are you gay? You're gay if you don't like football. Football is for none-gay people? What do you mean you didn't watch it? Are you stupid?!

Haha! ;) J/K

Rumbled! Although I trimmed them by about two thirds.

Oh ... I see.

Seriously, just not interested in footy.

So other than your column and MAC OSX tips, what are you into?

My dog, people, music, films, the occasional book, doctors and nurses.

The Love Theme from the Godfather is quite moving...

Nice song, that.

Johnny Cash - pretty much every song, the misery
Interpol - Not Even Jail
Bright Eyes - We Are Nowhere, Lua and Land Locked Blues
