I agree with much of whats already been posted. Not mentioned so far tho are:

Wolf At The Door (Hail To The Thief) by Radiohead
Love Is Blindness (Achtung Baby) by U2
For Your Pleasure (For Your Pleasure) by Roxy Music
Almost Independence Day (Saint Dominic's Preview) by Van Morrison
The Bewlay Brothers (Hunky Dory) by David Bowie
Little Earthquakes (Little Earthquakes) by Tori Amos
Gold Dust (Scarlets Walk) by Tori Amos
Crazy Man Michael (Liege and Lief) by Fairport Convention
Amen (Pieces Of You) by Jewel
Grassman (Homegrown) by Dodgy
How Many More Times (Led Zeppelin) by Led Zeppelin
Tea For One (Prescence) by Led Zeppelin

also check out Ends Dont Mend (King Of Conflict) by The Virginmarys - sounds like a 60s/70s epic given a modern twist (amazing album too!)

That song's the highlight of the album for me. Of course, my favorite Who song of all time is Who Are You.

Powerslave (Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
Aja (Josie)

Rated R (I Think I Lost My Headache)
Surfer Rosa (Brick Is Red)
The Bends (Street Spirit (Fade Out))
OK Computer (The Tourist)

So I guess it would have to be one of those. Probably "Find the River" for me.

Way too hard to single out the best one. But the first I thought of was "Alexander the Great" off of Iron Maiden's "Somewhere in Time".

PS. By the gods, it feels great to really be back to enjoying metal again after some years in the wilderness. 😄

I Am The Resurrection, which has already been mentioned, followed closely by When The Levee Breaks and Won't Get Fooled Again. But I'm totally shocked nobody mentioned Free Bird, Champagne Supernova and Torn Curtain.

Agree about Life in a Glasshouse and especially Videotape, which is possibly the most ridiculously hated Radiohead song ever.

Really, Radiohead have hit it out of the park with all eight of their closing tracks.

All Apologies is up there for me too. Gouge Away (Pixies - Doolittle), Finally Free (Dream Theater - SFAM) and Caroline, No (Beach Boys - Pet Sounds) are in the same league.
