I don't have one favorite song. There are way too many good songs to pick just one!

I think that overall, my favourite song is the studio version of King Crimson's "Starless" from their 1974 album "Red". The song is twelve minutes long, but there is not a wasted or inessential second. The interplay between the Mellotron strings and John Wetton's slightly flat crooning. Some may say that the flatness of the vocals on this track (and most of this album, actually) may constitute a flaw, but it was David Byrne of Talking Heads who stated (and I paraphrase) that there is no authenticity in a perfect voice. As song, this song feels incredibly real, almost cold, if music could evoke a physical temperature. Robert Fripp eventually comes in with his trademark textural guitar playing, Bill Bruford adds the odd bit of cymbal crescendoes and angular percussion, and Wetton plays some very ominous fuzz bass. There is a slow build of guitar dissonance echoing back and forth in a near call and response pattern, when the guitar betweens to increasingly and increasingly fall behind the beat of the rhythm, and at the moment of peak tension, the song jettisons into an instrumental 13/8 jazz fusion explosion led by the wonderful alto saxophone of former King Crimson alumnus Ian MacDonald. Some may snub their nose at fusion (the majority of the genre seems devoid of passion and very few acts stand out) but, in this application, the soul and fire (with execution that marks significant a contrast between the icy desolation of the vocal portion of the piece) that made the beginning of the song so powerful is retained. Eventually there is a very nice reprise of the main theme where Bruford rides the hi-hat in a pattern that only Barriemore Barlow (an awesome drummer, mid to late 1970s Jethro Tull) would conceive of and then the song crashes back into the full bravado of the fusion section... and, well... it manages to, without losing any steam, momentum, or doing the clichéd "big come down" evident in most rock music, end so powerfully, majestically...
