To me it is "Song for America" by Kansas. Honorable mention also goes to "Rhayander" by Camel. Peace.

I can surely say Even In the Quitest Moments by Supertramp. Not the best of the band but close. The voices are incredible, and the structure of the song is very well done as Can Utility and the Coastliners, not the same magnitude of course but still...life? hehe |
In The Quietest Moments is such a beautiful song. My first and one of my favorite Tramp albums.
Actually, there's only a few Tramp albums I can't get into... "Crisis?" being one of them 
Anyways, yes, great song, very peaceful and melodic. Me likee

And You And I by Yes is my personal choice for a perfect song.
1. The guitar intro quietly shouts to the listener " shut up and listen! " It's just a perfect opening piece.
2. The song slowly builds to a majestic climax at the middle of the song and then does it all over again for the second part of the song. Good stuff!
3. there is a perfect balance between all five members putting their stamp on the song. Good bass lines, nice keyboard solo and keyboard atmosphere, Bill Bruford's drumming is spotless and unique, Jon Anderson's singing is a perfect example of the voice as an instrument. Anderson,Squire & Howe also have very good harmony on this track. The lyrics are also a perfect example of painting pictures with words. If anyone steals the show on this track it's Steve Howe. from the guitar Intro to his innovative use of the pedal steel guitar, he is just amazing.
4. It's just a solid song with high energy in parts and quiet moments in others. Innovative and virtuoso playing. A flawless composition.

A perfect song? Hard to choose. But "Sve ce to mila moja prekriti ruzmarin, snjegovi i sas" by Bijelo Dugme is an example of perfect song like "Roundabout" by Yes or "Traveller" or "L'Isola Di Niente" or "Celebration" by PFM... And If I had to choose there would be many more songs to be included in this list... Songs from Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Focus, Ekseption, Le Orme, King Crimson, Wishbone Ash, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Symphony X, Pavlov's Dog, Cynic...! |
I'm with you..............all of those groups and many more have songs that fit the bill...............Pavlov's Dog...........I actually have an album of theirs..........Focus, Le Orme, King Crimson, Wishbone Ash, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Yes, PFM, etc...have them all................all great...all different.....and I'm willing to bet that my favorite songs by these groups are probably not what most people think is their best.......In fact, for example......Focus....well before they were Focus, they were Brainbox.....they had a song called Dark Rose...........blows anything Focus did out of the water....................

OK so I didn't answer the question.............I'll go with In-a-gadda-da-vida by Iron Butterfly----------------at 1000+ watts per channel, it sounds like a herd of elephants charging through the living room....................

ELP - Trilogy
or
DT - In the Name of God
There isn't a single flaw in either of those songs.
