Marillion - King, the whole build up to the end, but the line “the fire in your belly that gave you the songs is suddenly gooooone” always gets me.
This performance is great (shared by the band’s social media on coronation day, LOL):

Agreed - another great Marillion moment...you know, if you have a few more from post-This Strange Engine material, I'd love to hear about them 
I haven't followed the band quite as closely with those albums...
Let’s see…
On “Three Minute Boy” there is a part where Rothers comes in really strong around 2:35 leading into a Beatles-y Hey Jude type outro.
On “Born To Run” you have a really nice, bluesy solo followed by the line “and further south and hopeless, here I am globally altered and disheveled.”
On “Go!” there’s the “wide awake at the end of the world” section (the guitar solo too really).
On “Interior Lulu” there’s the “Primrose Hill” section (basically the whole outro).
On “House” there’s a bunch of them, but the line “my dull thoughts echo viscous and slow like the tolling of some great bell underwater” is amazing, and “God if you hear me, throw me a line or strike me down,” is also really strong.
On “Fruit of the Wild Rose” there is the section following “as England faces the winter.”
On “The Invisible Man” there’s the part at the end where H’s voice cracks while singing “I *am* the invisible man.”
On “Fantastic Place” there is the whole build up to the solo starting with “say you understand me and I will leave myself completely. Forgive me if I stare, but I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes.”
On “The Only Unforgivable Thing” there’s the middle section leading to the solo and building to “I have lost the stars and the sky, it was so that I could keep the earth” (and a second solo).
On “Ocean Cloud” really the first 6 minute or so, but Rothers guitar solo there is a top 5 moment from him probably, and H singing “only me and the sea, we will do as we please” is epic as well. Unfortunately the front part of that song is so strong that the second part doesn’t quite have anywhere to go but down.
On “Neverland” there’s “I wanna be someone who someone would want to be.”
On the most recent album, there’s Rothery’s solo on “The Crow and the Nightingale,” the “walking free in Free Town” segment of “Sierra Leone,” and about six goosebump moments on “Care,” especially the first time Rothery comes in before H sings “an hour before it’s dark,” and where he sings “found freedoms in a diamond I won’t trade, not even for heaven,” leading to a massive Rothers solo.”
That will keep you busy for a bit. :-)
