So many great tracks it's difficult to choose, but I like every version I've ever heard of The Torture Never Stops, my favourite being the one off YCDTOSA 1.

There was another thread on this about a week ago, wasn't there?
 
Oh well.  My answer's still the same.  It all comes back to "Inca Roads".
