I've thought about this before and I think it has to be The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. Find me 1 person that doesn't like that song

The Beatles -- Hard Day's Night.

For my money, it just doesn't get any better than when he sings "I should be sleeping like a log". Amazing band. fricking epic.

Impossible to nail down, but y'all have hit one some great ones:

Everlong - Foo Fighters
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin

I'll add these two:

Sultans of Swing - Dire Straights
Bye Bye Miss American Pie - Don McClean

Fortunate Son by CCR is my Platonic ideal for a rock n roll song.

Tangled Up in Blue by Dylan is right near the top for me.

I heard Kelly Willis doing When My Baby's Beside Me last week on Sirius, and it took me a while to find out what it was from. Some sort of tribute. The Matthew Sweet version of Goodo was pretty good.

Blackbird - Alterbridge

Master of Puppets - Metallica

November Rain - GNR

In the End - LP

A few of those were based a little bit on success AND bias.
