You Might Recall - Genesis

[link] This is an immaculate song.  Genesis purists tend to like the earlier Peter Gabrial material.  But Phil Collins was supremely good and they cranked out a whole bunch of excellent songs right through the yellow eponymous shapes album in the early 80s. Collin's solo stuff was also pretty good right into the mid 80s.
I love how this song consists of this large cycle.  The driving bass line, the arpeggiating guitar with keyboard backing it.  The whole thing is really driving.  Then there's the key change toward the end.  These guys fused amazing pop out of art rock.
