I gotta agree with Floyd's "Time", "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Xanadu", and "Bodhisattva" already mentioned. I'd like to make a pitch for:

Nice, Nice, Very Nice - Ambrosia
Overture to 2112 - Rush
Baba O'Riley - The Who
Never Been Any Reason - Head East

just off the top of my head...

Just seein' if anyone was awake. ;)

Honestly? When I read Gallerinski's post, "We Will Rock You" that stoopid thing actually popped into my head. Was sitting here at my desk by myself and I laughed out loud. Had to post it.
