For me, “the moment” is the part of the song that fully and utterly engages me; the reason that I keep coming back to it.
I’m not necessarily talking about hooks here, because the purpose of hooks is the draw you into a song. I’m really talking more about traps: the part of a song that that keeps you there.
Every single moment I’ve listed below kills me single every time I hear it.

Paul Westerberg's Weird Experiment
New on Medialoper: Paul Westerberg's Weird Experiment
In reality, while 49:00 is a single file, it consists of several songs. Which means this: Paul Westerberg has figured out how to get people to listen to an actual album all the way through. There’s really no choice, especially since — as I write this — there doesn’t seem to be any actual song titles floating around. It’s all or nothing.

Hey Masses! Don't You Dare Watch "Mad Men"
New on Medialoper: Hey Masses! Don't You Dare Watch "Mad Men"
I’ve always wanted a pop culture world where “I Will Dare” by The Replacements was the first of their many top ten singles. A world where “Sequestered In Memphis” by The Hold Steady is played on radio stations across the country and a world where everybody is into Mad Men, and not American Idol.

My Favorite Album For Every Year I've Been Alive
On Medialoper: My Favorite Album For Every Year I've Been Alive
Most frustrating was a year like 1975, where epochal records like Physical Graffiti or Born to Run — absolute all-time classics which I still love — get edged out when they would have stomped )either the year before or the year prior.
