I haven't heard the explosive version yet, but how exactly different is it? Doesn't it just add an explosion at the end?

Yes, about 30 seconds of explosion are added to the end but the rest is the same

Worst rip-off in history. Did nothing for the song, but made sure people bought the single.

Oh wait, that sounds like quite a good description of most commercial maxi-single releases...

Scorpions - You And I
Brian Wilson - Rio Grande
Queen - It's A Hard Life (Extended Version)
Def Leppard - Rocket

i was gonna mention "the end" but thought it would be too obvious ala 'light my fire'

Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain
I've listened to it a million times, can easily clock another million and still not get tired of it.

Meatoaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light
A hilarious story that reminds me of certain events in my own life.

Queen - Prophet's Song

I love Carouselambra, if for no other reason than that I have absolutely no idea what any of the lyrics are.

Oh sure - Google told me what Robert Plant was singing, technically, but I couldn't reconcile the words with what I was hearing from the song itself.

That alone deserves a medal of some kind.

King Crimson - Epitaph

Queen - The Prophet's Song
Queen - Innuendo
Neil Young - Down By The River
Neil Young - Cowgirl in The Sand
Neil Young - Cortez the Killer
Crosby, Stills, & Nash - Suite/Judy Blue Eyes
Matthew Sweet - Thunderstorm
Matthew Sweet - Sunlight
Jethro Tull - The Minstrel in The Gallery
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Billy Joel - Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
Billy Joel - Captain Jack
Yes - Seen All Good People/Your Move
Yes - South Side of The Sky
Alice in Chains - Rooster
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street


I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are many more I like.
