Clay, you're killing me! :>)  After I visit Frank, I'm coming up north.

In all seriousness, the one song that I find "perfect" in its unerring detail is The Ink Spots' "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire". I could listen to that song endlessly. Second place would be Sheherezade, which is near perfect.  Tron song? Close to the Edge...sorry.

I had a seminal tract infection one time that stopped me in my tracks.
lol, lmao, rotfl!

I love the huge tron entrance on Poseidon. Another great track is Sailor's Tale (Islands). The tron (MK-II ?) is mixed way off in the background, but somehow still dominates.
