Today it's the 10-minute guitar epic from George Clinton's Funkadelic...
"Maggot Brain" is the opening track off 1971's Maggot Brain. The titular song features no vocals--save for the eerie spoken introduction--and little more than a soft arpeggio and drum flourishes.
The spotlight shines fully on Eddie Hazel's blistering guitar solo, rumored to have been inspired by an LSD-taking George Clinton telling Hazel during recording to imagine his mother had been murdered, only to learn that it wasn't true.
Further accentuating the greatness: the entire song was recorded in just one take, the solo was played in only one key and scale, and only two pedals were used to create the guitar's lush effects.
