NRHH: I'm curious..favorite song thats NOT hip hop?

So I kind of have an idea of what hip hop artists most of you like now and what songs.. so tell me an artist or song that you like thats not hip hop? I'm curious:)

I'm probably going to get laughed at for this but

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly

Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix

Update:

    WHOA! Cut Creator you really opened up a can of worms with this one. Shock is right!! 1) Canibus is boring and I really wish he'd retire 2) Common is good but I don't really care for the "mid-west" sound in general. 3) I think the West had the most unique style than any other region. I know a lot of ppl would disagree but if you really do the research you will see. The west was my fav of all. 4) I gotta agree with the girl who commented on the HIp HOp founders. I don't think they were bad just not for me. I still do respect them. 5) Whoa engage. that was harsh about female mcs but you may have a point. The only female rappers I like are Missy and Queen Latifah and even they ain all that. Everyone else.....tssss.. no comment. 6) DMX has never been a favorite of mine. He never had a style of his own. He seem to always piggyback off other ppls ish.

    Why would you get laughed at when you named some absolutely legendary songs. Although I do think Stairway to Heaven is really overrated and "Over the Hills and Far Away" is by far Zeppelin's best song.

    Some of my favourite NRHH songs would be

    Thievery Corporation - Amerimacka

    Sam Roberts - Bridge To Nowhere

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtG8kdfM1xw

    Gorillaz - El Manana
