"2 Minutes to Midnight" by Iron Maiden. A New Year's Eve tradition for me since high school. But that aside, this is one of my favorite Maiden songs - catchy rockin guitar riffs, interesting melodic bass line, brutally anti-war lyrics. I had the opportunity to see these jolly Englishmen last year, we were so far in the back on the lawn we could barely see them, but just sang along with the rest of the 10,000 people, just normal looking people, singing along to songs that you don't hear on the radio. It's a neat experience. Not to mention the pyrotechnics and stage animatronics make them the most expensive stage show I've ever seen.
Iron Maiden is pure fun and genius, gotta love these guys.
