But "Sve ce to mila moja prekriti ruzmarin, snjegovi i sas" by Bijelo Dugme is an example of perfect song like "Roundabout" by Yes or "Traveller" or "L'Isola Di Niente" or "Celebration" by PFM... And If I had to choose there would be many more songs to be included in this list... Songs from Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Focus, Ekseption, Le Orme, King Crimson, Wishbone Ash, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Symphony X, Pavlov's Dog, Cynic...!

I'm with you..............all of those groups and many more have songs that fit the bill...............Pavlov's Dog...........I actually have an album of theirs..........Focus,  Le Orme, King Crimson, Wishbone Ash, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Yes, PFM, etc...have them all................all great...all different.....and I'm willing to bet that my favorite songs by these groups are probably not what most people think is their best.......In fact, for example......Focus....well before they were Focus, they were Brainbox.....they had a song called Dark Rose...........blows anything Focus did out of the water....................

And You And I by Yes is my personal choice for a perfect song.

To me it is "Song for America" by Kansas.  Honorable mention also goes to "Rhayander" by Camel.  Peace.

There's nothing wrong with it for me.

Kent, I suppose

It must be Mother Sky by Can. Perfect trip. Almost makes me wish I was a dopesmoker. 

Ok, I'll admit, I didn't see Big Country coming.  I'll have to seek that song out now.

With that being said, I thought of two songs that are close to perfection, for me. 

Dark Star by Fish.  Amazing song, lyrics are strong, the structure is sound, the instrumentals are awe inspiring and the complete product is about as good as it gets.

Promised Land by Queensryche is another fantastic sounding song.  The vocals and music, again wonderful and the most striking bit about the song is the space in it.  It's not cluttered, every noise, note, word and pause can be heard with almost perfect alacrity.

Perfect songs? Well, I'm not going to try to explain them, but these songs just really "do it" for me.

Pain of Salvation- People Passing By, In the Flesh, Idioglossia, Beyond the Pale, Iter Impius
Dream Theater- Metropolis Part 1, Learning to Live, Voices
Kayo Dot- The Manifold Curiosity, Aurora on an Asylumn Wall
maudlin of the Well- Heaven and Week, The Ferryman, Girl with a Watering Can, Gleam in Ranks, Birth Pains of Astral Projection
Dark Suns- Flies in Amber, 29
Genesis- The Musical Box, Get 'Em Out by Friday, Supper's Ready, Firht of Fifth
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here, Dogs, Intersteller Overdrive
The Mars Volta- Cassandra Gemini
Opeth- When, April Etheral, Moonlaps Vertigo, Face of Melinda, Bleak, The Drapery Falls, Blackwater Park
Transatlantic- All of the Above
Marillion- Script for a Jesters Tear, Fugazi, The Last Straw, Easter, The Invisable Man
Le Orme- Sopesi Nell 'Incredible
Van der Graaf Generator- White Hammer, The Emporer in his War Room, Man Erg, La Rossa, Arrow
Grayceon- Sounds Like Thunder
White Willow- Cryptomenysis, The Reach, Anemnasis, Chemical Sunset, Soulburn, Ghost

I've probably got a few others, but everyone of these songs is perfect to me.
