Stairway to Heaven? Freebird? No. Neither of them. Two of my favorites are "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws, and "Grendel" by Marillion. I found one of my Marillion tapes, one sent to me by a Bitnet relay "pen-pal" from Holland when I was still in college. On the tape was "Real to Reel", "Market Square Heroes", and a few singles.
Grendel is an incredible 17-minute magnum opus which, according to Wikipedia, recounts part of the Beowulf story from Grendel's point of view.
I can kick up some powerful energies if I imitate Fish (the lead singer) or imagine myself performing this song -- especially the finale.

So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out
You should have known better after all this time
You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander
With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes
Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame
God's on my side, sure as hell
I'm gonna take no blame
I'm gonna take no blame
I'm gonna take no blame
So you say you believe in all of mother nature's laws
You lust for gold with your sharpened knives
Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot
You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods
Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand
You call for justice and distort the truth
Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches
Receive your punishment
Expose your throats to my righteous claws
And let the blood flow, and [let the blood flow], flow, flow, flow.
