What I intend with this thread is to disscuss which song from any band you like would you consider it the most representative, I mean, which song contains most of the sounds that characterize the band, or which song you think expresses more the general sound of the band.

For example, and this is who this came to my mind, I was listening to 'The Power of One' from Sonata Arctica, and started thinking that this song contains most of the elements the band uses in their songs. It has slow parts, fast parts, soft heart-felt vocals, and high pitched vocals, etc... it would be a very complete and represntative song from Sonata Arctica.

So, I'd like you to disscuss this same thing with your favorite bands. Which song you think is most representative and why.

for Blind Guardian i will vote for And Then There Was Silence...the methods used in here are quite similar to Mirror, Mirror, and in addition there are more of them and together in the whole song it is perfect...but i have to admit, that Mirror, Mirror is much shorter and that can be advantage, because not-metal lover won't listen to 14-minute song...
