Always loved Band on the Run/Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five. Closing song may never be recognized as a McCartney classic, but it's always been one of my favorites.
That whole album was him getting it exactly right post-Beatles (with Ram a sloppy second).
Gimme Shelter & You Can't Always Get What You Want... Wild Night & You're My Woman... Narcotic Prayer & Ultraglide... The Bourgeois Blues & Goodnight Irene... Young Man Blues & Magic Bus... well, you get the picture!
I'll go with: A Night at the Opera; Death on Two Legs and Bohemian Rhapsody (assuming God Save the Queen is not a song) A Farewell to Kings; AFtK and Cygnus X-1
Honorable mention goes to: Zep 4; Black Dog and When the Levee Breaks The Clash; London Calling Blizzard of Oz; I Don't Know and Steal Away
Highway Star : Space Truckin' on Deep Purple's 1972 Machine Head [original version]. In fact I'm going to play it now before I'm banished to the doghouse again for listening to loud music during the holidays. Cheers!

meddle--- one of these days/echoes
My first thought was "I Will Dare/Answering Machine" (or maybe "You Told Me/Randy Scouse Git", but I can see Born To Run beating those...
Who's Next - Baba O'Riley/Won't Get Fooled Again
Exile on Main Street - Rocks Off/Soul Survivor
Happy New Year!
Good choices, all!
I will add:
Let It Bleed - Gimme Shelter/You Can't Always Get What You Want
Armed Forces - Accidents Will Happen/(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding?"
What's Going On? - Title Track/Inner City Blues(Make Me Wanna Holler
Hell of a year. Rock on, y'all - bill buckner
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Caroline No" in a walk. You can't understand WIBN without hearing the heartbreak of "
Caroline No."
