Ah, so easy to pick. (See my avatar and signature also.)

The band would be Symphony X. They are still active!

And the "song" is...

For the Love of Art and the Making is an album by Danish progressive metal band Beyond Twilight.

For the Love of Art and the Making
Studio album by 
Released2006
GenreProgressive metal
Length37:52
LabelMassacre Records
Beyond Twilight chronology
Section X
(2005)		For the Love of Art and the Making
(2006)

The album is one song split into 43 parts. According to Finn Zierler, there are another three hidden tracks that complete the album's concept. To date, said tracks have not been identified. Furthermore, the order of the track list on the album is not the actual one. Since the album is divided into 43 parts, the listener is able to arrange the parts in any order they regard as logical

This makes no sense. If you can only have one song then the follow up of only one band contradicts the only one song question.

Like these choices. I've been listening to "Marbles" and, although it doesn't have Fish it's actually really good. Obviously their first four albums are great. I like the choice of Marillion for band.

And you could do a whole lot worse for a single song than Close to the Edge.

If beholden to a single song, I would only play the track on special occasions. Echolyn’s “Mei” would make a lovely birthday present.

Kept to one artist, I’d plan on playing an album of theirs each weekend. Genesis isn’t my favorite, but they’d do well to keep me company.

"The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunnymen

The 2nd question is tougher for me. It could be Genesis, Opeth...but I'll go with Nick Drake

1) Nearly impossible.  Surely any song chosen would eventually become tiresome.  Could I possibly do that to something I love?  Dozens and dozens of possibilities, so at random: Godflesh "Flowers".  I'd squirrel it away on a high shelf, only to be listened too when I needed that kick of energy, drive and inspiration this song delivers.

2) Same risks as above, though not nearly as acute.  Rush and Floyd are possibilities.  Nurse With Wound a very likely choice.  But I couldn't imagine passing over either Darren Tate or Autechre, and pushed into a corner it would have to be Autechre.  May I never tire of "19 Headaches" or "Acroyear 2".......

I absolutely agree with this and WOULD pick them myself. But, 62 albums(and most of it high quality).. Plus I'd probably get access to all the postumous stuff too like Trance Fusion, putting the album total at well over 70. That's too much music to pass up lol. The Beatles were awesome, just didn't make enough music.

For song, even though I'm not a huge fan of them(like them just not a massive fan), I'm going to cheat a little and go with Thick as a Brick.
