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

[/QUOTE] 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 [b]Carouselambra[/b], 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.
