| "The Knife!" This was actually released as a single, with the track split across the two sides. I'm not making this up. |

This was the first song that come to my mind when I read the title of this thread... It's one of the most succesful songs in mainstream and one of the most unique pieces in prog rock history... a masterpiece on it own...  ------------- |
