[Jack Karneval]

Infected Mushroom - Suliman
I've gotten high from listening to this song before, it's one of those songs that ran my life for many years

Warp Brothers - Distorted Frequency
One of those songs that are just immaculate in their conception. All 7 minutes of this song are pure enjoyment for me.

Evil Activities (feat. Neophyte) - Vengeance
I've never had a song bring out the purest of anger in me, an extraordinarily enjoyable song.

However, most electronica songs that I enjoy are usually ones that touch deep inner chords inside me. Kind of like hitting the right buttons you know?

 

[milkweg]

A few Smashing Pumpkins songs that do it for me too.

Cherub Rock, Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Zero.

"Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage."

Lots of great songs here, but not too much wow factor.

There're a lot of them in every genre and many of them are well known, so I'll try to put some songs of several genres that I think that really have some 'wow factor', while trying to be original and very eclectic.

Pop/others:
Right on for the darkness - Vanessa Fernandez
Liberty - Anette Askvik
Sexual healing - Marvin Gaye
Les passants - Zaz
The Beatles - Yesterday (Dolby Atmos)
How to be me - Ren, CHINCHILLA
These bones - The Fairfield Four
Despójame - Orishas, Jacob Forever
I'm gonna love you just a little more baby - Barry White

Jazz and similar:
Monk's Dream (take 8) - Thelonious Monk
Keep on - Alpha Mist
Protest - GoGo Penguin (but you need to see the video)
Poincidiana - Ahmad Jamal
Keep on trippin' - Manu Katché
Flatlands - The Aristocrats
I love you - Barenaked Ladies (to put it somewhere)

Rock:
Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto
Dire Straits - a lot of them, but to be original is say 'In the gallery'
Wicked Game - Chris Isaac
Luminol - Steven Wilson
Lily was here - A. Stewart, Candy Dulfer
Lipstick Vogue - Elvis Costello
The doomed - A Perfect Circle
Angie - Free Rolling Stones (Dolby Atmos 2009 remastered)
Old fashioned - Port Noir
Caterpillar and the barbed wire - Riverside

Metal and derivate:
The widderness jig - Skyclad
The sound of silence - Disturbed (had to put it here)
L'enfant sauvage - Gojira
Pink noise waltz - Diablo Swing Orchestra
Thrown to the wolves - Death Angel
Deadly sinners - 3 inches of blood
My name is Mud - Primus
Imposible brutality - Kreator
Soen - Savia
The pot - Tool
Haunted sea - Seventh Storm
Lykantropi - Vittra
Gaddaar - Bloodywood
Crown of thorns - Ray Alder
Vermilion moons - Arch/Matheos
Downgrade desert - Igorrr
The shadow hunter - Angra
Bodies - Drowning Pool
Walk - Pantera

Please bear in mind that the nuances that make the wow factor possible are sometimes dependant on a good pair of cans and/or a proper equalisation.
