To allow greater flexibility in the discussion, and in view of some of the nominations so far, this thread sits best in the general music discussions (despite the title).

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”
"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

Not sure it got to no1 though? Maybe top ten?

A Gong single charting? What planet are you from? |
(That is a rhetorical question isn't it? )
Also
Ooby Scooby Doomsday or the D Day DJ's got the DDT Blues - No 6 in the charts I think? No doubt you will correct me

Nights In White Satin - Moody Blues
Kentucky Woman - Deep Purple
"Soon" by Yes would've made the list if the re-edit that appeared on The Ultimate Yes had been originally used.

 I was going to answer Halo of Flies by Alice Cooper, I have that single...then I saw your post and it's allmost exactly as I would have posted...Insert Deep Purple - Child in Time (which has been released as a single with part I on the first side, and part 2 on the second).

I've got Yes' cover of the Simon & Garfunkel song "America" on 45. I can't remember what the B side was though.
