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

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

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
