Your favourite Rock/Hard Rock/Metal Song (or any genre, if you so choose)

If, for some hypothetical reason, you had to delete every song in your music library except one, which one would you keep? The song that takes your breath away every time you listen to it. Regardless of how many other songs you have, this song is on a pedestal. When it ends, you are left sitting there going "whoa, that was amazing".

For me, the song would be Poet and the Pendulum, by the band Nightwish. It's 14 minutes of pure, unadulterated bliss. The way it is so varied, going from soft opera-esque sections into heavy sections and then back down to soft again blows my mind every time. When I finish listening to it, I have to stop listening to music for a while, because listening to anything after it is just a letdown.

So lets hear it, what is your favourite song?

(Lion King has nothing to do with it, I just couldn't find a different video)

It is so hard to choose, but it would most likely be a Rush song. Limelight or Freewill, I can't choose

Wow, Rush already mentioned in the second post. I'd choose "Hemispheres", because it's a great song, but also because it's so long that I wouldn't get bored of it so quickly

The entire 'Let It Be' CD by the Replacements is the most brilliant rock/punk/pop album of the past 25 years. Prior to that Prior to that Prior to that

Impeccable taste. Edit - I originally meant to write "Shiftless When Idle," "I Will Dare," and "Alex Chilton..."

If we're going with favorite Hard Rock/Metal song, I'm probably going to have to go with "The Grudge" by Tool.
