No Quarter/Led Zeppelin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKOngTfTMs0
My personal favourite out of the entire Zeppelin catalogue. Primarily written by keyboardist/bassist John Paul Jones, it is also their most experimental composition (live versions would often stretch to more than 20 minutes).

Thought: Famous children's choir parts in rock music
I read recently that the (now grown up) children who had lent their voices to the song "Another Brick In The Wall" by Pink Floyd had tried to sue the band for royalties. Although they lost the court case, the truth is that had it not been for the choir part in the song, it wouldn't have been the hugely successful hit song it has become. Check it out,
Another Brick In The Wall/Pink Floyd (Towards the end, just before Gilmour's epic solo.)
Some of my other choir favourites include
School's Out (For The Summer)/Alice Cooper (Outro. The song ends with the sound of a dismissal bell.)
Youth Of The Nation/POD (Outro. Not really a children's choir. Used to be one of my favourite songs to sing along to.)
Aeroplane/Red Hot Chili Peppers (Outro. Bassist Flea's daughter too is among the singers.)
