I put it on every now and again when I'm setting up a pub in the morning or closing it down at night.

Do you have a favourite pause in music?

The one that always gets them (and the song is about 100 years old) is My Way, Frank Sinatra. They just can't help themselves clapping and then the end of the song come. Hilarious.
The other one of course is I Just Can't Help Believing - Elvis Presley. I can never get the gap right.

Good call - not sure that there is a pause in the Rush - are you referring to the slowy down reggae bit at the end? I think NSC needs to form a Committee/Working Group to consider and report back as to what constitutes a pause for the purposes of this thread.

Truly brilliant. I also like the pause near the end of The Doors - 'Riders on the Storm' before it all comes back in..class
It's not what you play , it's what you don't play... or something like that.

The milliseconds of silence at the end of the first bar of the intro to Garbage's "Supervixen."

Never gets QUITE as far as a pause, but this beautiful tune always seems to be hovering right on the edge of a pause all the way through...

There have been some really good suggestions. I particularly like The Eels and Trout Mask Replica (Which I keep in the car to threaten the kids with if they misbehave: 'Much more of this and you'll be getting The Mascara Snake!')
For those who don't have the time to listen to all the tracks recommended, here is a compilation of all the pauses running into each other (courtesy of John Cage of course):

Bernadette by the Four Tops. Levi Stubbs' voice always worth waiting for after the pause.

Bouncing a very old thread, and its a bit of a cheat because there is a keyboard chord still echoing, but after the Lionesses' win, it's just occurred to me that the pause between Broudie singing 'I know that was then, but it could be again...' and the final chorus is the spine chilling bit of this song that even after all these years can make me well up. A line that resigns itself to perpetual failure, but has just a tiny twinkling of hope. It captures being a football supporter like nothing else.

Why oh why oh why?
I've mentioned this one before in another thread - the little pause before the drop at 2:20...

Can we all now just post the same songs we posted in 2015? Or are there any new ones?

You won't have to go too far into this beauty for the pause:
