For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see ๐)
HAHA yes it surely is. Shadow with a watermelon helmet is one of my favorite Sonic memes.
Sonic is maybe for kids but it's my childhood so I do not care what people say about it. Anyway thanks for the comment ๐
YouTube link for anyone else who wants to check it out/listen to it: Machine Messiah (2008 Remaster) and Machine Messiah (1980?)
/edit: My personal assessment: Too wild/disorganized for me :P
