Here's one I didn't see coming, because it's been about 8 years since I first heard it and wasn't particularly moved by it in the interim, save for one part that I'll detail in a moment:

The Olivia Tremor Control's "The Sylvan Screen" - one excellent song.

It's not that surprising, really, because once you take out all of the ambient dreamy non-structured sound collages that would bridge the beginnings and ends of their two albums, their proper songs were the stuff of legend - errrr, they would have been had more people than me and The Captain heard them.

But "The Sylvan Screen" just snuck up on me tonight in a moment of weakness. The theremin, the little banjo bit, and of course, the part that blew me away upon my very first listen, the Beach Boys-esque a cappella part at the end of the track. Gorgeous. (And not just in a "she's pretty in the face" kind of way.)
