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.

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

Song? Hm, that's hard, I'd get tired of anything, but maybe Amarok, it'd take a while to fully get bored of ALL of it

Artist, maybe The Beatles since there are so many recordings and demos out there it'd take a while to get through all of it once

It depends on what purpose the song would serve.

Picking one song for the rest of my life would be torture, and I would grow sick and tired of it pretty soon, but I take it this is not what the topic is about. One solution would be Schubert's "Erlkönig", as performed by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

If we speak prog, and it has to be a song (and not, f.e. a suite, an instrumental track etc.), I think I will go with "The Carpet Crawlers". If it can be any track (that is, not necessarily a song): perhaps Neu! - "Hallogallo".

Song: Van der Graaf Generator's "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". It covers a range of moods and is, I think, awesome.

Band: Swans. It just has most of what I want from music across its discography and enough differences/ variation between albums and phases to keep me interested (and some really long albums to boot).

An instrumental track isn't a song?

But anyway, for a song I'd have to go with Thick as a Brick Pt. 2 (Jethro Tull), Lizard (King Crimson), or Heart of the Sunrise (Yes). But its hard to choose, and if you asked me tomorrow I'd probably have a different answer.

As far as a band goes, either ELP, Yes, King Crimson, or Rush.

Clearly I can't commit to any one answer, but its a hard question.

^ Commonly, or often more formally, a song refers to music that involves singing (vocals)., whereas commonly an instrumental refers to music without singing.  I commonly use the word track to refer to much music of the song and instrumental kind., both of which I have seen some call songs.

As the web dictionary put it: "
a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung."


Commonly I would not refer to suite either that involves singing as "a song" either,

Since it's one song, maybe Mike Oldfield's Amorock (which fills a CD, or two sides in old format). It's dozens of little songs put together.

Band.... maybe Gentle Giant, because after decades of listening, I'm still finding stuff going on in the music.
