Scenes from a Memory is probably one of their most classic sounding albums. It's a very nice balance between their heavy and more melodic sides. "Home" is also one of the greatest songs ever written. The "plotline" (it is nominally a rock opera) is a little bizarre and hard to follow, but the music is awesome.
If, after listening to that you like their harder stuff better, buy Train of Thought. If you like their more melodic stuff better, buy Octavarium. If you want something with a similar balance, buy Images and Words.
I don't know what song that is, but it's not on any of Images and Words, Scenes from a Memory, Octavarium, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence or Train of Thought. So that eliminates about half their discography.
