A song I can play on an instrument
Paranoid Android by Radiohead. From the album OK Computer.

This song is one of the most revolutionary rock songs of the last 2 decades – for its time it showed how progressive alternative rock could be. The biggest reason for this was its structure, it has four distinct sections each with their their won instrumental parts. For more on this check out this link.
I didn’t get into Radiohead until a couple of years ago, even though these guys have been around since the early 90′s. But when I started listening to them it provided 6 months straight listening time on my ipod. There are 3 standout albums for me. The best is Kid A, followed by In Rainbows and then OK Computer. I highly recommend you listen to them all!
So I learned to play Paranoid Android on my guitar at the end of last year. The riff that runs throughout all the 4 sections is great – dark and moody. I’ve never had the opportunity to play it on an electric, so I can never hammer out the solos as hard as I would like, but I hold being able to play it high in my cabinet of pride 
Peace!
