Can we just say "The Who" and end this right here?
But if I have to pick one track here, one that has to be played at maximum volume so the vibrations can sink into your bones, I have to go with "Red" by King Crimson. It's one of Fripp's Escher-like chord progressions, elegant and symmetrical, but with a power that bypasses all your thought processes and goes right to your primitive forebrain.
I was going to go with the original 1974 version, but then I remembered Adrien Belew saying the Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford version of Crimson could "peel wallpaper from ten miles."
