Just One Song

Another music meme, from FilteringCraig.com

Explain, using ONE SONG ONLY why someone should go see this band live in concert. In some cases, you should pick the most popular song. In some cases, you should pick the most exciting song. In some cases, you should pick the most emotional song. Some bands you probably shouldn't go see at all, but that isn't the point. You don't have to like the artist at all. 20 people's answers might be different. The only wrong answer is no answer. If you had to convince someone to go to a show or concert by one of these bands/artists/singers, what ONE SONG would you use to convince someone to go?

I've chosed the last ten live show's I've attended. Since I've seen one band (and you know which one!) more than once, this list also includes one or two support acts to make up the numbers.

Apocalyptica: Master of Puppets
Asia: Only Time Will Tell
Blue Öyster Cult: Astronomy
Fish: Brother 52
Marillion: This is the 21st Century
Mostly Autumn: Mother Nature
Porcupine Tree: Shesmovedon
Rammstein: Reise, Reise
Uriah Heep: Between Two Worlds
Yes: Roundabout

All but one of the above songs was in the setlist on the night, several of them as encores. That one exception is BÖC's Astronomy. I've seen the band several times, and I've never seen them play it live. I believe they alternate it nowadays with "Last Days of May" on successive nights, and I always seem to catch them on the 'wrong' nights.
