Sorry for a boring and cliched answer, but there's a reason that Close to the Edge is a prog treasure - the title track comes as close to perfection as anything I've heard.

Reckoner by Radiohead is the most perfect song of all time. It has the greatest combination of other-worldly atmosphere and intense melody.

Awaken by Yes and Suppers Ready by Genesis would have to be in the discussion, but I will have to think about it longer before I commit.

nothing beats Henry Cow's "Beautiful as the Moon / Terrible as an Army with Banners" in terms of progression, well-judged improv-to-structure ratio, ability to haunt and overall life-enhancing correctness in music. Nothing, not even bloody Magma. o:)

now, i dont mean perfect in the technical sence, i dont mean just because a song ticks all the boxes as in it has a good intro, middle, end, solo, chours, etc.
 
i just mean, in your own personal opinion, which track do you feel is just flawless/perfect/immaculate, and why?
 
 
 
personly, i think "goodbye blue sky" by Floyd, from 'The Wall' has to be my pick, its just perfect to me, not too long, not toooo short, sounds absolutly beautiful, and is just a pleasure to listen to, great vocal arangements, nice sweet guitar, i cant find anything wrong with it
 
 
so whats yours?
 
Whoa- I wasnt necissarily thinking of that song, but Floyd was the first band that popped in my head. When I think of the track you selected- yes, it does seem perfect.
 
There is another song that comes to mind, it's a Perfect Circle song from their first album- song number 5 or 6? The slower one....

Les Porches De Notre Dame - Maneige

Utterly great song, merging classical, jazz and rock elements flawlessly, building up carefully to an incredibly dense polyphonic conclusion.
