Heh heh, I knew Yeager would toss in a Yes song or two. What Yeager? Not Heart of the Sunrise? I really like Long Distance Runaround and Wonderous Stories too.

Gotta agree with DJ111, Freebird was a great song.

But the best? Hard if not impossible to define as it is purely subjective.

Great songs, how about In-a-Gada-Da-Vida? Certainly about the longest.

I always loved Radar Love, but I wouldn't call it the greatest. Same for Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

So many great songs, too little time.

Now this is easy - "Sweet Jane" Velvet Underground and later Lou Reed on "Rock'n Roll animal" (or was it transformer? - the live album).

The other topic is hard, (best tune ever), and impossible to answer.

You know...I whipped out Fragile just yesterday and listened to it front to back for the first time in years. Those guys as young twenty year olds had a frightening amount of talent and creativity.

Yes, Heart of the Sunrise as well as South Side of the Sky are awe inspring peices of audio art.

I guess I could throw in the entire Moving Pictures Album by Rush as one of the truly great masterpeices of modern times.

But thats just me

Gotta toss in "Hush" by Deep Purple; of course I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan and my two favorites to toss into the category would be "Kashmir" with "When the Levee Breaks" right there with it.

Maybe not best rock song ever, but my fav LedZep songs are Ramble On, Thank You, Tangerine, and Levee.

Hush rocks teh big one!!1 Puts me in a great mood.

Always have room for Thin Lizzy too. Frickin dueling guitars - ever hear them live? They sound perfect, just like their recordings.

Some of my favorites by them too. White Moutain/Black Riverside is probably my favorite, but thats really just Jimmy Page.

You people are weird... Good songs, yes, but tiresome ones at that.

I have to say either God Save The Queen, or Anarchy In The U.K. --- both by the Sex Pistols. 27 years later and people still can't figure out what the lyrics really mean.
