OVERALL FAVORITE: Since I can't pick Side 2 of Abbey Road. It would have to be:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
This song combines incredible lyrics and musicianship to form a song that
no one has come close to duplicating. For me at least. It's got beautiful
storytelling, characters that show personality, and imagery that stays in your head long after the song is over. David Gilmour outdoes himself with what I consider to be the great solo ever. It's all there in a nice little 6 minute+ package. A great single.
