In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins (don't even have to say when or what it is)
It's the one I thought of as soon as I saw the thread title. Nothing else compares, in my mind.
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I saw the title and thought "there's really only one answer here..."
If you mod the title to be "Except for 'In The Air Tonight'..." I would include:
Jack and Diane, Mellencamp
The End, Ringo Starr
Tom Sawyer, Neil Peart
Where Eagles Dare, Nicko McBrain
