What's a song that feels larger than life to you?

Don't look back is a brilliant demonstration of Boston's distinctive "wall of sound" where Tom Scholz layered multiple guitar tracks together to create this powerful driving force. I remember hearing this track for the first time about 20 years ago after telling my dad I liked "More than a Feeling" and he went and dug out his Boston Greatest Hits compilation.

This song, for me, creates a sound that is disproportionately huge and "larger than life" even if you're listening on headphones. It sounded incredible on my dad's hifi system.
