Right now I'd say Unchained by Van Halen but if you ask me again in an hour it could have changed...

They didn't do ant pre-poodle rock stuff...have you seen the cover of their debut?

'Schism' or 'Ticks and Leeches' by Tool, both taken from the greatest album ever!

Most perfect pop song ever? 'Back for Good' by Take That, or 'Billie Jean'

For knowing the words, Merry Christmas, Slade.

For the tune, sound and depth of meaning Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen and/or Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin

However, my choice would be just a little off piste with Wish you where here, Pink Floyd.

I grew up with a old LP of the woodstock soundtrack and that has influenced my music taste and has some crackers...

Suite Judy Blue Eyes.. Crosby Stills Nash and Young

Wanna take you higher.. Sly Stone

But the number one..

The instrumental Hendrix track which segues out of the Star Spangled Banner into Villanova Junction
