I don't claim to be a big music guy. Among the small selection of music I listen to and have listened to, it is my favourite song. Not sure why this is so deserving of your derision.
It's a great song and they are a great band.
It's not my favorite Live song, but it is awesome.
Live is one of those bands that it's become cool to not like. Blender I believe had them in their worst bands of all time issue. Complete joke.

I've heard that Lighning Crashes was written as a big joke and the lyrics aren't serious, I mean "the placenta falls to the floor", c'mon!
.
Not true at all.
"I wrote 'Lightning Crashes' on an acoustic guitar in my brother's bedroom shortly before I had moved out of my parents' house and gotten my first place of my own." Kowalczyk says that the video for "Lightning Crashes" lends itself to many misinterpretations of the song's intent. "While the clip is shot in a home environment, I envisioned it taking place in a hospital, where all these simultaneous deaths and births are going on, one family mourning the loss of a woman while a screaming baby emerges from a young mother in another room. Nobody's dying in the act of childbirth, as some viewers think. What you're seeing is actually a happy ending based on a kind of transference of life. The dedication to Barbara Lewis came after the song was written. But it was something that we hoped would honor the memory of a girl we grew up with and help her family cope with sorrow -- which it seems to have accomplished -- in a fashion in keeping with the theme of the song."
Have you ever seen a baby born?

All time: There's a few songs by Matthew Good that I absolutely love, same with Tragically Hip. I'd have to say all three - Weezer, Good and the Hip are my favorite bands though.

Because it's oh so cool to slam others for their choices in music. I almost backed out of doing the music draft because I figured it would get critical like that...it hasn't.
too hard to choose just one
one of my favorites though
Pink Floyd - learning to fly
ugh. not cool. anything after the wall shouldn't even be called Pink Floyd. Gilmour is a great guitarist but he can't write a song to save his life.
To each his own though.
I tend to agree with the earlier poster who said Time by Floyd but since that's taken I'll go with some Zeppelin. Kashmir with Black Mountain Side intro.
I can't pick just one. But I have a playlist of my top 10. I won't look for them all - just 3 at random:
Rain on the Scarecrow:
Prayer of St. Francis:
For What it's Worth:
(the other 7 are "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen, "Logical Song" by Supertramp, "In the Ghetto" by Elvis, "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Streets of Philadelphia" by Springsteen, "Hurt" by Johnny Cash and "Zombie" by Cranberries)

You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive
Darrell Scott (Yes, he wrote it... Braid Paisley did not)
Warning: Non-country fans need not click.
I'm not a Patty Loveless fan, but she does a pretty wicked job of this song too. I think Darrell Scott's version is the best though.
As for a personal favourite song, that would be impossible to pick. I doubt I could pick one favourite per genre even. So just to throw something different into the mix, I'll go with Louis Armstrong, What A Wonderful World.

I'd say the best Tool has done is Ænema. I'd count it up there with my top 5 songs.
This is one song you want to see performed live.
Not even my favorite track on that record!
But I ain't gonna argue with you because it is fantastic.
